After researching pricing on a Canon G9 digital camera, Techon Digital had a promo price for this camera. Eager to order it, since it is Canon's last year's model, I placed an order. Not soon after my checkout, I was told to phone in to "conform" order. I did so and assumed they were going to "confirm" and try to sell me extras, like warranty and battery, which they did. Then the man on the other line told me that this was a "gray market" item from Japan and the price was for that model. Since I do not speak Japanese, I asked "ok well how much more is the English/Spanish version?" to which my reply was, "$389" I said "well then, you can cancel my order and I will purchase elsewhere.", the man on the phone got snippy and said " there is no way you can buy this camera anywhere for less than $389", I said "that's fine, I'll buy a different one but not from you."
This is a scam to lure you in to order an item that you think you got a deal on and then talk you out of it in order to sell you the "North American" version for a higher price. After seeing several complaints about this company, I don't know why legal action can't shut them down when using these business practices.
DO NOT GIVE THESE PEOPLE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY! They have horrendous business practices and make e-companies look bad!
