Brian Gordon is a bitch.

Knowing this camera, I told her that there was probably no way I could get the camera at that price, but that I would try. I did a search and found a “price comparison” site that had several cheap prices listed within the amount she gave me. It was very surprising.

So I put an order in for the lowest price. The website looked realistic enough, but when I submitted the order, it said I had to call in to complete it.

I called in expecting just to verify a credit card number, but what I ended up getting was something else altogether. The guy who answered had a thick Brooklyn accent, and kept insisting on more and more accessories for the camera I had picked.

“The battery only lasts 15 minutes” he said, and thus I needed an upgrade. “The memory card is prorietary sir, and they are out of print, but we have them”. Things like that kept coming out of his mouth.

Now, I knew the camera but not well enough to know if these particular details of his were true or not. But then he said “I am surprised you ordered the Japanese version of the camera sir, and not the American one. The American camera is $100 more.” Now that I knew was BS. Why? Because his site had no other version of the camera, and the listing made no indication of it being a Japanese model. So I called him out on it…

Now, the response I got was basically along the lines of “You callin’ me a liar? I don’t like being called a liar! @#$% you buddy! You forget, I know where you live!”

Now that frightened me a good bit. I basically told him the call was being made from my corporate office, and that it was automatically recorded. I said I’d call the police and wanted to cancel the order. So he “transfers” me to another department for cancellation.

I kid you not — when the other department anwered, it was the exact same guy. He was trying to disguise his voice by sounding more gruff, but it was him. He said immediately, “Your order ships out tomorrow! Thank you for the order!”

I interrupted him and said “No — cancel the order. I am no longer interested!” He had the nerve to tell me there was a 30% restocking fee. WHAT?!? So I said “For a five to ten minute call, you’ve already taken things out of stock and packaged them. If you charge me a restocking fee, I’ll be disputing it on my card!” His reply to this isn’t possible to post without dirtying your ears, but suffice it to say it included a threat.

To make a long story short, after going at it a few moments, he eventually said “Hey if you don’t like the order, there’s nothing I can do about that, it’s your opinion! You can cancel the order, but I ain’t makin a million dollars off this!” So I said, “It’s not because you are not charging a million dollars.” So he said “OK I’ll cancel the order!” and hung up.

Now, the story doesn’t end there. My credit card wasn’t charged, I checked online and the available balance never decreased. So I decided to check with the next store on the list. Different shop name. Different phone number. Different price. Same deal — call in to complete the order. And who is on the other end? SAME GUY! He didn’t even know I was calling in about a separate order.

I ended up ordering it from Amazon.com at the regular price and just paid the difference myself for her. But the experience has really shaken me up a bit. You have to be really careful.

They’re orthodox jews in brooklyn, and that is what they do: rip people off, then threaten them when they are identified.

Notice how this scumbag tries to give non-jewish names like “steve phillips” or “ed lopez”.

What a dirt bag. Anything happens to Thomas or Don, there’s gonna be big trouble for the scumbags who did this. The only way to deal with scum like this is to BE RELENTLESS in exposing them. THe only language these dirtbags understand is ruthless force.

That’s when you know you’ve really made an impact.
