Scam Description
This company showed an ad offering a 22 caliber compact handgun for $49.99 and showed video of a gun being shot at a range. When I ordered this, it showed up and was nothing but a toy that shot little plastic bullet tips. I filed a dispute with Paypal and they suggested that I try to resolve issue with the company first. When I communicated with the company, they said that disputes were very difficult and after many, many emails, they gave me an address to return this to and once they received it, they would refund my money. I sent it back to the address they provided in Hong Kong and after about a month and a half, it came back to me with a note stating, no such address existed. After countless emails and a lot of running around, I am writing this off as a bad experience, but I thought someone should know about this to protect future consumers from fraud. After the price of the product and shipping and over 30% tax (which were both supposed to be free), it was a $68.55 lessen learned about ordering on-line.
