Extremely hot IF its not a SCAM... Fuji A201 155...

well, considering the fact that they are:

1. a yahoo store
2. listed on pricewatch
3. charging $21.50 shipping to Virginia

they seem like a safe bet.
 
>>>Anyone heard of these people before?<<<

Yes; they're called Hasidim, and 99 times out of 100 - if they're based in Brooklyn and they sell cameras, they're crooks.

Hmmm...that picture is not the A201; it sure looks exactly like the Fuji 2600 though.


 
Did you see their contact???
It's buydig@aol.com

The real Buydig.com has their own website

An AOL address for a business. Nah! I don't think so.
 
There may be a legitimate reason for that...I also have a buydig@ address, and a gateway@ address, dell@, etc. (really).

 


<< There may be a legitimate reason for that...I also have a buydig@ address, and a gateway@ address, dell@, etc. (really). >>

Please do tell us what that reason is. The only reason I can think of is for spamming, so you can fool people into opening email because they think it's from one of those companies. There must be another reason, because I don't think anything that intends to deceive is "legitimate" even if it is legal.

trots: My guess is that Justincase does what a lot of people do: being a smart shopper. 😉 If you have an email address for each vendor that you purchase at, you can keep all your purchase information from them organized. 😉 Also, it allows you to know if any vendor happens to sell your information since the spam mail will be routed to a vendor specific email. 😉

At least, that's what I'm assuming Justincase is doing. 😉
 
This is an error. The A201 is a point and shoot camera with no optical zoom. The picture and description they have is for the 2600, not the A201

go here and look at the pictures they have for the A201 and the 2600.

Wow, you've got it all figured out...if I were doing that, do you really think I would post it here as I did?

Actually, you are 100% wrong; it's quite the opposite of your scenario - I loathe spam, and I set up my email to eliminate spam. I own a domain name which allows me to set up easy email forwarding rules. For each merchant or other entity that requires an email address, I set one up with a custom name...I ordered some cameras from Buydig, and set up the email address: buydig@[mydomain].com so that they can send email to me; no email can go out from that address, as it is for forwarding ONLY. I originally set this up due to the loss of my free email providers (Apexmail, Onebox, Amexmail). I now have control over where to direct my incoming email without having to change my email address at 200 places; I can change the forwarding address myself in 1 session. What I have learned though is that doing this also serves as complete spam elimination...if an unsolicited piece of email ever comes into gateway@[mydomain].com, I simply delete the email forwarding rule, and no further spam can come in (my 'real' address and all other 'virtual' addresses remain unaffected)...I then also would know that Gateway (as an example) has sold my email address, and I would know not to do business with them again.

Wow...that is a really good idea! But I'm not disciplined enough to do this lol I'll stick with my overflowing hotmail boxes.
 
There are easier ways to do is. you could do youremailaddress+buydig@yourdomain.com

It will still be sent to you, but you will always see +buydig in the to: form. that way you can see who's selling your address, an old trick people use.
 
Way off topic from the original thread but re:Spam elimination/source identification try spammotel.com (thanks to lockergnome).
