SCAM- Buying Humminbird from District Electronics
« on: March 22, 2011, 10:58:56 AM »
On March 9, 2011 I placed an order with District Electronics (www.districtelectronics.com) for a Humminbird 798 CI HD, to date they have charged around $9000.00 to my account for the unit.   My credit card company discovered the scam and notified me and reissued a new credit card number.
Beware of this company. >:D

After the credit card company became aware District Electronics cancelled my order without comment.

If you are still looking there are some good dealers on the bass boat central website.  I purchased from them with no problems.

You can also buy the units directly from the Humminbird site.
