Brooklyn, NY - Midwood Biz Ripped By Buyers Over Bait And Switch

Brooklyn, NY - Would-be clients of WaWa Digital or JES Digital, a mail-order Midwood camera supplier notorious for pushy sales, were told they had to buy overpriced accessories after being lured in by high-end cameras advertised at rock-bottom prices.

Consumers who backed off the classic bait and switch risked suffering the consequences - from someone who already had their credit card number.
"He said, 'I will ruin your credit,'" said Rochelle Parry, 43, a Web and graphic designer from northern Washington who ordered a $300 camera from WaWa Digital.
"I actually ended up getting sick after that episode," she said. "I had never been treated that way and I've bought a lot of things. I wish these guys could be shut down."

Over the past few months, the Better Business Bureau has logged dozens of complaints against WaWa or as its known now JES Digital, with some customers alleging credit card fraud. The Better Business Bureau said the companies were all the same. "They have a pattern of complaints, mostly due to the bait and switch, gray market goods, high pressure sales tactics ... you name it," said Anthony Barbera, manager of information and investigations for the BBB NY office.
He noted that WaWa Digital received an "unsatisfactory" rating. "It's not illegal to sell gray market goods, but it's the buyer beware," he said.
