SELLERS/VENDORS BEWARE

[LarryDScott]

I have been scammed again on a fraudulent Credit Card sale.
The name used was:
Vernon Browne
3325 E 4Th St
Long Beach Ca, 90614
He ordered 2 triggers, his card info was approved,
and I shipped his order. Bottom line I am out 2 triggers and
$454.00. The privacy act is perfectly made for the criminal.
As a vendor I can't get any information from VISA, the issuing bank,
or the processing and financial co involved in my loss. Try depositing,
"we are sorry", in your bank account.
Since receiving the charge back notice, the supplied email and ph no
on this order have gone belly up. I thought when I quit drop shipping
I thought I was safe, but thats not so either. LDS

That sucks Larry.

 

[Trophied]

Always someone around that wants to scam businesspeople out of whatever they can. I hope fate deals him a just reward. Sorry for your loss and hope this is the last you endure.

That blows! So far no bogus credit cards crap at our place.....race car people can be a bit squirrely, .......
I'm sorry buddy

 

[Nowhere Man]

Larry, it makes me wonder why a criminal would be ordering such unique items that wouldn`t be readily saleable to the general public? You might want to call Visa again and talk with a supervisor. Might it be a mistake made by Visa? Just a thought......

I think the judicial system needs to hang these A%^$&les from their feet butt naked and give them the wallnut switch punishment therapy, so they will remember their grandmother's wedding day.

But instead, they are protected and the law abiding citizen gets screwed, AGAIN.

Why is it when you do things by the law, you get screwed.

I better stop.

I propose to the members to donate $5 to Larry's paypal account.
@LarryDScott please post your paypal email.

My checking account was hacked and the bank reinstated my loss but refused to prosecute. Don't hold your breath waiting for their help unless it behooves them.

What does Long Beach PD say about Vermin Brown?

 

[lightman]

Larry is such a great guy to deal with I'll contribute if you'all get this going.

Sorry to hear this. The firearms community has always been mostly honest.

 

[Bill Norris]

Sorry to hear this Larry. I will contribute to Larry's acct. as well.

Unfortunately it’s part of being a business owner. Its happening in all aspects of retail. All you can do is write it as a loss and keep moving forward.

They all seem to be from California.

 

[LarryDScott]

Please no contributions.

In past losses I have attempted to give sufficient
information to the local PD where the offender resides
and even the postal authority, and have never had either to show any interest at all. They elect to do nothing, pay is all the same.
The FBI want touch an internet fraud/theft case unless the value is 5K or greater. These offenders know their safety boundaries and stay w/in them. LDS

Has anyone tried you yet???? LDS

They all seem to be from California.

I’m pretty sure in California anything under 1000. I think they don’t even investigate. Remember seeing on news. Considered petty.

Larry, You might want to consider usps money order only or a personal check. I know you have thought of this but there has to be a way to stop this garbage. I have bought from you before and used cc and money order. Sorry for your loss but I don’t have a good response to combat this crap. Wish you the best. Hope Karma comes sooner than later to these sob’s..

 

[BW64]

It's funny how if you accuse someone & see someone commiting a crime & they get caught they have the right to know who you are & where you live but you(Larry) can't get info???? And you're right "we're sorry" don't pay the rent!! I despise people like this!!

There are companies out there that will run analytics at the time of the transaction to determine whether it’s fraudulent or not. If it passes, then they’ll insure the transaction. I don’t know how often this happens, but it might be worth looking into.

Actually, I think the personal check suggestion may be the best. You are sure to have the money in your account before you ship. If they don't have a check banking account I'm not sure I would do business with them. Mr. Scott, I know when a deal goes south, you can never truly recover your loss. I've been had by those that I complete a large printing job
and three days after receiving it I get a bankruptcy notice in the mail. YOU are hung
out to dry and the perp gets away with the crime.
