"The Digital Pros" - Really?

Anyone contemplating chasing after equipment seductively advertised by this company might want to check out this Google selection of other people's (victim's?) opinions.
I've seen these low-ball ads everywhere, (a new d7100 for $400 less than one can find it ANYWHERE) but it's surprising where I found this particular ad.....on the banner of the main page of our own very favorite website, this here Photography Forum.
Ugly, indeed.

Would the administrators of the website care to comment?

I'm guessing it's coming from a third-party like Google Ads that the Admin may have no control over. We regularly get questions about these and other low-ball, high pressure, grey market (do you want some more adjectives) "dealers" here. Run as fast as you can from this one.

I believe you are correct about Google. I get ads related specifically to my other, non-photography interests......GOOGLE IS ALL-KNOWING! A bit scary, but that's the online world as it is.

I did not think of that solution but it makes sense. As if everything (beyond this forum, of course) makes sense in the digital world :)
Thanks everyone.

That's why I use Duckduckgo. Search engine that does not track you.
I checked it out on a couple subjects - not bad. I even like the format better than other search engines. How do we know they don't track us. Snopes?
Thanks.

Thanks Krash. Now I'm a duck user too! Just look at this screen grab from the UHH page I'm on right now. Yep, I've been shopping for underwear and shoes!

Yeah, interesting....NOT. I don't see your point and don't give a rat's butt about your underwear shopping. :roll:

Let me simplify for you. The point being, I receive ads on UHH related to other things I view on the net. These ads have nothing to do with UHH. The advertisers are not UHH sponsors, such as "The Digital Pros".
OK, that should be simple enough for you to understand, NOT???
I get that you don't care about my underwear (shopping). How 'bout my footwear shopping?

Just for the record dabbe, I get it. Reckon one has to have a sense of humor.

Thanks. Humor makes almost anything or anybody tolerable, at the least.

Why did I get a Land Rover ad with this page? Now that's a joke.
I get it! Good one!
