House of Firearm -- Yet Another Scam Site

[Catgunguy]

FORUM Boss: There are now 20 or more total SCAM websites claiming to sell ammo, reloading, components and, in some cases, firearms.

Here is your quick solution -- If the site does NOT take regular MC, Visa, Amex, Discover RUN AWAY!!!!!

Any site that can only take Zelle, Venmo, BITcoin etc. is 99.99% likely to be a scam.

We have said over and over and over again, only deal with established, reputable dealers.

Honestly, I do not understand why people are still getting scammed. This has been explained over and over.

And remember this... you really think Hodgdon is going to send Varget and H4350 to some place you've never heard of, rather that deliver said powder to Powder Valley, Midsouth etc. that have done millions of dollars of business with Hodgdon over decades. Come on?! Be Smart! Use your brain!!

I just got scammed by a company called House of Firearms.
They are not legitimate.
There web page looks good with decent prices but ask to be paid with Zella, no credit cards.
When you pay for the items with shipping, they then send you an e-mail asking for the same price as payed for the items for the has-mat and insurance. They say that this extra fee is refundable when the items are received but they will probably never ship.
I asked to cancel the order when I got the extremity high price for the has-mat and was told they will not refund my money.
Please beware of them.

A friend of mine just found out about this same scam as well. We have to be careful and look for all the signs of these crooks online. Method of payment being the main issue. If it don't seem right then it probably is a scam.

I may miss out on something but I just stick with the :normal: places. Powder Valley, Grafs, Midway, Midsouth, Natchez ect. I would order from Blue Collar but they have never had what I was ordering in stock, but I know they are a good reputable company

Wow it has been posted time and time again here from the Boss.. Plus it is common sense that reputable business don't use Zelle, Apple Pay , bit coin, ect....They do take regular Credit Cards. so you are protected against theft.. Also the site is "House of Firearm" no "S" meaning plural. Bad grammar unless they have only one gun to sell..

If nothing is out of stock it is a scam...

There are so many tried and true internet retailers with years worth of solid reputation. Why folks want to use pop-up-overnight sketchy bitcoin gun selling sites is beyond me. If a online store claims to have in stock what is backordered for months EVERYWHERE else, well, good luck. Kiss that money before you send it.

I mention before, where are they coming up with these names of these businesses. That is enough for me to pass. It sounds like the same people with their originality of names.

Its easy for me I wouldn't recognize a bitcoin if it bit me, and all the rest of that stuff they want to use to receive payment I assume is some kind of generic paypal????

Seems like a big increase in these scam ventures in the last 8 months. FBI must be busy attending school board meetings.

They are all permanent forms of payment with very little or no recourse for a refund if you are scammed.
