Sweet! I just bought a camera from Broadway Photo, and they sent me a import, without a Canon USA warranty, I told them I did not want a warranty from them, I want a USA camera, with a USA warranty. They hung up. Calling the Attorney Generals office today.

Those f’ers.

How are they still in business? I noticed now they are LLC.
See the wwww.newyorkbbb.com website. They have many names, phone numbers and addresses as aliases. This needs to be known!

The sad part is that Broadway Photo, which has been notorious for being scum for YEARS are still advertising in Pop Photo, Outdoor Photographer, as well as many other magazines. I don’t know how many times I have emailed these magazines informing them of the dregs that work at these places. ANd, how can Popular Photography, who’s offices ARE IN NYC not know? Come one! Now the folks who the AG should also go after as well are the ad sales folks at these major publications who have been doing a tremendous dis-service to their readers by taking ads from Broadway Photo, as well as others like Jersey photo and such.
I guess money talks.

That is crazy. I’m glad you were able to be apart of shutting these broken companies.

I never understood why NY was a major hub for shady online camera shops. I guess the reason is they’ll open back up under a different name in a few months.

Good to hear enough people complained about this and these scumbag stores are being shut down. I filed a complaint about 2 years ago against one of them when I was buying a $2000 camera and they were calling trying to sell me the battery for an extra $150. WTF?

Finally!

I’ve been hoping for years that someone with authority would take some serious action against these stores.

Of course I have to wonder if reputable stores like Adorama, B&H, and Amazon are cringing a little bit. After all, I, like so many others have only shopped at these three retailers because I know I can’t trust others. I’m sure plenty of business has flocked their way thanks to fear of these other slimeballs.
