I am a senior citizen that just bought my first camera online from Abe's Of Maine. I am not sure if it is a grey market camera the add said brand new, factory fresh, but if it is, I was not informed. I purchased the extended warranty and when I inquired about it, the salesman said they would register my product, which made me very suspicious something was amiss. I also bought the pro bundle of accessories offered. The salesman called before shipping and pressured me into purchasing an upgraded battery and memory card. he said he was upgrading my shipping to UPS but then charged my credit card an additional $91.00 for the upgrades and shipping. When the camera arrived, there was no Nikon warranty card in the box, and no additional battery or memory card other than the ones pictured in the add for the bundle I originally purchased. I have been defrauded royally. What recourse do I have??

I am a senior citizen that enjoys taking wildlife photos as a hobby. I wish I saw this thread two weeks ago. I feel so stupid. My Cannon Powershot travel camera stopped working and I wanted a bridge camera with a longer zoom. I have been wanting the Nikon Coolpix 900 for a while. I googled it and up came Abes of Maine with a very low price. I should have known it was a scam. The camera was $415. Over $150 less than anywhere else. I upgraded to include the bundle which bought the price to $479, and I added a 3 yr. warranty for another $129......Bringing the total to $608. I was so excited! A couple of days later, I got a call from Abes. The salesman told me he was preparing my order for shipping and pushed me to upgrade the battery. he said the one included was only good for an hour of use. The cost to upgrade? $50.00. He then suggested a faster camera card, another $20.00. My total was now $699. I asked about the warranty and registration and the salesman told me they would register my purchase. I was still excited, but sorry I had not said no to the extras. The camera came today. First thing I noticed was the camera came with a Nikon battery. The battery in the kit was a no-name battery which I had paid $50.00 extra for? The camera card enclosed was the same one pictured in their ad and included in the bundle. I paid an extra $20.00 for what exactly? Now I have a very sick feeling the camera may either be counterfeit or an international model Since they told me they would register it. I don't know if this is customary or not. I feel sick. I waited so long for this camera. All my happiness has been replaced with both sadness and extreme anger. I would just return it but the kicker is they charge another 15% for a return which is highway robbery. I don't know what to do, or who to report their bait and switch to. Can Nikon tell me if the camera is legitimate?
