I saw an ad on photo.net for Ding Electronics, which is a website currently

offering the Nikon D2xs and Canon 1Ds Mark III for 1300 USD. I emailed the

website about their amazing prices, and received this response:

 

Hello,

 

My name is Marita Pratt and I represent Ding Electronics.Thank you for your

interest in

our products. It is very simple to purchase from us.

All our products come from bank and customs confiscations including your

order. It is

brand new with international warranty and it is factory sealed.The final price

is : 1300

USD .

We are processing all our order through our google merchant account. However

during to

some orders placed with stollen credit cards google decided to limit this

payment method

for the moment and offer the same protection on bank transfers.

Because we want to continue running our business and still protect our

customers we

will continue accepting orders under the Google Merchant protection program ,

allowing you

to inspect the order prior to authorizing the funds to be sent to us.

You will submit the payment to them via bank transfer and once the funds

clear in their

account we will ship your order to the provided address.

Once you signed for delivery you will benefit from a 3 days period time in

which you will

decide if you want to keep or cancel your order.

If you aren't happy you will be fully refunded including the shipping fees

benefiting

from our no questions asked returning policy.

Because we have a low stock and we already have 3 potential clients for this

model I would

like to ask you if you are 100% interested so I can book it for you and start

the

transaction.

 

 

 

Best Wishes ,

Marita Pratt

Ding Electronics T.E.A.M.

 

 

 

 

 

Surely this company cannot be legit, based on the fact that they only allow

payment through bank transfers. Why was this BS ad allowed on your website?

Am I wrong in saying this company is full of crap?

Very suspicious. I would never use a bank transfer transaction for anything but sending funds to another bank. Ding Electronics is not listed in resellerratings.com, but all that means is they're probably not in the US. I googled the name, and found one interesting post <A HREF="http://www.ephotozine.com/topic/t-53353/p-0 ">here</A>. Look familiar? I'd pass on it.....

I think Aaron's question was not whether he should buy from this advertiser, but rather how -- and why -- a vendor such as this appeared on photo.net ?<p>

 

That question is probably best directed, via email, to someone on the <a href=http://www.photo.net/info/about-us>photo.net masthead</a>.<p>

 

I seem to recall reading at some point that pnet neither selects nor screens the advertisers, but it would be best to ask directly and get a real answer.
