I believe it was somethng like George Sabato, but I could be wrong. But you know having a name means nothing when you can put down any name. I would love to know what happened to them but I too believe we will probably never know. I hope they are in jail. But for now, they are seemingly gone. Again, we need to be on guard as they may be cooling it and will come back with a whole different type of site, products, etc. So brazen and rude they all were. Amazing. Cheers - S.

Or, it could have simply been that enough people said enough bad things about them that they decided it wasn't worth the efforts. Personally, I think they were probably rolling in money so something "bad" must have happened to them.Either way, I don't think we will ever know what was the real outcome of this story. I wish we did - I can't find the owner's name. I recall someone knowing it - perhaps a Google search will turn up some more recent results?

Either way, I don’t think we will ever know what was the real outcome of this story. I wish we did — I can’t find the owner’s name. I recall someone knowing it — perhaps a Google search will turn up some more recent results?

I was just thinking about them a few days ago and had noticed that I had not received any AMAZON.COM alerts on my alert for SONICCAMERAS.COM. I thought that maybe, just maybe, some legal authority finally got to them. We ALL need to continue to watch and report on other scam websites like the Soniccameras scum. They may well pop up again with a different name or even different products. So, buyer beware as usual. But, let us hope that these scumbags are in jail for a good long time. I don't know how many complaints I filed with every Federal, State and Consumer entity out there. But maybe all of our complaints to the authorities and the credit card companies might have taken them down. Good work Cleo!!!!! Thanks! BRAVO!!!

I am glad that we were all able to inform the community as to their deceptive practices. But I also have to wonder, just because this one website is now gone if they've simply posted another.I've learned my lesson when it comes to equipment - only trust and try to research reputable dealers online.Hopefully they got what they finally deserved - jail time...

I’ve learned my lesson when it comes to equipment — only trust and try to research reputable dealers online.

Hopefully they got what they finally deserved — jail time… Thanks to everyone for contributing to this post.

I give them credit for their efforts. But one must not forget that many of these people are NOT experts in those particular areas.News and propaganda outlets have a habit of reporting inconsistent and even spreading faulty information as well as even lies.I wouldn't say the site is a conspiracy by any means - but mostly a lack of complete factual information introduced by human error.

There are multitudes of 'mathematical' articles that are incorrect or biased. Would it surprise you to know the Wikipedia illuminati is comprised of several prominent Jews in the administration of mathematics and scientific articles? As a result, the articles are incorrect, biased and slanted according to the perspective of this group of editors. As one reviewer stated, everyone should read Wikipedia but do not believe anything you read if it is not confirmed by other reliable sources. Unfortunately, too many stupid people accept what Wikipedia publishes as absolute truth, so there will be an abundance of sites that say the same thing as Wikipedia. One simply can't be too careful.

Then tell their "collection agency" (I bet they're bluffing) to contact your lawyer directly. They get real scared when you mention lawyer. That's basically what I did and they left me alone.
