I did some research earlier today and I found a camera that looks interesting.

Panasonic DMC FX-150 – it takes 14 megapixel photos & HD video.

Then, after much searching, I finally found a site that sells the black model.

What a deal too. Amazon had it for $312, but then I’d have to wait until they have it back in stock. These guys offed $377 including tax. I figured I could pay a bit more to have it as soon as possible.

Then I got a strange phone call and an email.

I went to their website and talked to a rep..

Rep: Please call 1-877-690-0099 to confirm the order.
Matt: Why do I have to do that?
Matt: and why is that a third number? The man on the phone said 8667604249 in the email it says 1-800-442-0031

It went on, but he refused to give me an answer and then ‘hung up’ on me. It was very odd.

I sent them an email requesting a cancellation. They’d better give me one too. I don’t want to support business that make you jump through extra hoops.

Why would I need to call after I’ve placed an internet order?
