Forbes has picked up on the story of Thomas Hawk and PriceRitePhoto story which I blogged about a couple of weeks ago. Apologies also, I called them PriceRightPhoto when it should have been ‘Rite’. Number 1 of the many rules of PR: Always spell names correct!
It says: “While the vast majority of user reviews and merchant ratings provide a useful service, online shoppers can still get caught by disreputable merchants. One blogger, Thomas Hawk of San Francisco, recently attempted to purchase a Canon EOS 5D camera that he saw listed for $2,899 at PriceRitePhoto – the lowest price online at the time. Hawk checked and found positive store reviews, but after placing the order, Hawk claims he was contacted by a PriceRitePhoto, employee who tried to sell Hawk expensive accessories to go with the camera. When Hawk declined, the employee said the camera was no longer available and threatened to charge Hawk’s credit card and never send the camera. (PriceRitePhoto did not return phone calls requesting a comment.)”
