Like everywhere, you get people who do business in good faith,
and people who don't. A friend of mine suffered a similar ripoff
from a company in Florida who sold him a piece of lab equipment
then didn't deliver the equipment as advertised.
I suspect this will end up with the Canadian Photo Marketing
Association and the Canadian Professional Photographers
Association. I have doubts that the law is on his side (Bucky
seems to think it isn't), so we may also have to find out how
the guy likes to be investigated by the RCMP (international
crimes investigation) and perhaps a word to Revenue Canada might
get them interested in his business practices.
Having said that, Mike Bromm is checking into it himself, let's
let him deal with it.
Since I live just a few hours drive from the city the guy does
business in (Medicine hat?? or was it Lethbridge??) I will
certainly avail myself as Albano's local agent if a small claims
hearing is in the future.
