I first noticed this company by searching for cameras on amazon.com. I trusted that if someone was selling products here they must really have product to sell. I made my "purchase" on May 31st.
On June 2nd I received an e-mail saying the product was sold out and so I figured my check wouldn't be cashed but I kept checking the bank for several days. The check wasn't cashed until 10 days later and I didn't notice for a few days.By the time I did it was too late to receive money back from my bank because you have to dispute within 24 hours with a check transaction. It was very clever to wait so long to cash the check.
I have reported this to the FTC and also to ITIbank, the check service used. Hopefully this person will be caught. Be cautious of someone that only allows purchases using online check services. I found out the hard way that if I had even used my debit card at least I would have been covered for 60 days.
