It sounds like you have been bitten by Abernathy and Closther, aka. Cheeselovers International. If my guess is right, they also insisted you send them the actual ad with an order, not a photocopy. If I'm right, you will eventually get your camera. It will be cheap garbage. The same sort of thing that magazines sometimes give away as an incentive for you to subscribe.
