Scam

I went to Amazon to look for canon lenses and was redirected to an outfit called closeout digital. They listed a canon EF f2.8 70-200L USM AF lens with its picture for $899.00, an obviously good deal. I placed an order, it was accepted, and then I received a phone call asking me if I realized that this lens was plastic and could only be used on a 35mm film camera. They offered me the digital version for $1199. I cancelled and informed my credit card company. Anyone else have any dealings with this outfit?

Here is the link

No disrespect but don't people use google

A simple 10 second check gave me loads of reviews here is one, surely when spending money in the 21st century people look before they leap

NO I didn't say that, stupid no, many people fall for scams, I believe we need to slow down in this day and age and consider more, today life is too fast often to "think" and consider as we once did

Look at what they want to sell a Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 for? $379.99
