I received a letter in the mail stating if I sent the fees requested I would receive a Nippon 35mm Focus Free Camera including 50mm optical lens, automatic film counter, rapid wind film advance with double exposure guard, hot shoe synchronized for electronic flash and carrying strap.
The cost for the equpiment was $13.78 & additional $3.00 for shipping and handling. After this was sent in a few weeks later I got another letter stating I needed additional equipment for this camera for an additional $12.00. I never received either. This was a complete scam and I beg people not to fall for it.
I just got one of those things in the mail today where it says to send in 17 dollars for a nippon camera that I won. I had never heard of that brand. I looked it up on the internet to see how much they are worth and came across this site. Oh, the horror stories that I read just made me cringe. I'm so glad I read all this before I got ripped off too. Thanks so much for providing this website and all the useful information,I'm sure I'll be back checking on all kinds of companies and their ratings with customers.
I received an Urgent Notification from this DMI company (never heard of them), saying that upon receipt of payment and authorization, the following goods would be shipped to my address.
Total payment for equipment $13.78
Insured shipping & handling: $3.00
Total: $16.78
Model being held:
Nippon 35mm Focus Free Camera, including 50mm optical lens, automatic film counter, rapid wind advance with double exposure guard, hot shoe sychronized for electronic flash, amnd carrying strap.
Then it added, Your Next Step:
For immediate shipment, make check or money order payable to DMI and return the notice in the envelope provided. This is the full purchase price of all the merchandise described.
I have never heard of this DMI, and never ordered any such product. From the moment I received it, it smelled very phishy and sounded like a Big Scam. Researched online, and sure enough found plenty of reports testifying that it is indeed a scam. It's sad to see how far back in time these reports go, and this so called company is still operating in attempting to rip off people. Beware people if you receive anything like this Shred Immediately!!!!
