Reload Equipment Company (Scamm)

[Scalloper]

So, on Tuesday I was reading a post on a MEWE reloading site about a company selling components. The prices were about what they were a year ago. I have spoken to some guys that are still getting fair deals from manufactures around the country. So long story short I set up a Google Pay account and sent $335. On Friday i had not received any shipping information so I did some research. Yesterday I filed for a reimbursement with Google Pay. In the past I have not had much experience with scammers so I may have not responded quite quick enough this time. The reason is on several ocation I have placed orders on say "Ammo Seek" and waited 1-3 months with no powder delivered. I contacted the company and got my money returned. But I am not sure how this will play out.
Any recommendations? Present or future to better protect ageist this?

What was the name of the company? I may have missed it in your original post.

If the seller isn't well established and the deal seems too good to be true - investigate first.

Your first mistake was using PayPal for a gun related transaction. If something goes wrong you may find yourself on the wrong side of their politics.

He said he set up a Google Pay account, not a PayPal.

Yes, what is this companies name ? And I sure hope it works out for the good, for you. Keep us posted on what occurs and your findings.

Correct you are. But I wouldn’t expect much difference in the way a firearms related transaction is handled. They are not gun friendly organizations.

I looked at that website, had my doubts when they showed a large inventory of primers and no one else in the country does.

Funny, I received an email flyer from Midway the other day wanting to sell shotgun ammo. Everything I clicked on was out of stock no backorder. Seasonal...

It would be nice if you mentioned the company so others might be warned! I have a guess, due to my searches. One company sounded “too good to be true” so I backed off.

This reminds me. Several months ago in looking for primers, I searched on Sellier and Bellot primers.
One of the first hits was 'ultimategunsales dot net'. Offering 10,000 SRP for $380!!
After fainting, I messaged them to confirm the primers were in stock. Yes, but you don't actually pay them - you pay a third party. Uh oh!!
Checking their physical address in google maps, it's a, as I remember, a dance studio.

Obviously, this is a place you DO NOT want to send any money to.

the name of the company is the title of the thread, Reload Equipment Company

When I go to that website, it says it has unexpectedly closed. Hmmm.

“Reload Equipment Company” sounds like a poor translation made by some foreign scammers. Sorry. Hope it works out for you.

IF you used a credit card for the transaction, contact the card issuer and file a fraud claim. Also contact your state's Attorneys General and file a fraud claim there too.

The post says the name "Reload Equipment Company"

After two emails and one call to Google Pay and two emails and one call to my bank I was told there was not much chance of getting my money back. But the money showed up back in my account and Google Pay sent me a email asking how pleased I was with their service. So I feel I really lucked out this time.

 

[Scalloper]

So I got a letter from my bank. They credited me the money while they investigate. So my reimbursement had nothing to do with Google Pay.

Whats the Old Saying, If it Sounds To Good to Be True,IT ISN'T

 

[Scalloper]

Not sure about that. I bought 6,000 lr primers 2 weeks ago for $42 per 1,000
