Scam Description
Purchased shotgun barrel from them. Stated their credit card service was down and to use Zelle (Courtney Freeman ccfreeman42@gmail.com). Once Zelle payment was made they emailed and called to say their Zelle email was “congested” and to cancel the original payment and send to a new email address (Anthony Fambro AnthonyFambro98@gmail.com). Refused to do this until I confirmed they the original transaction was cancelled. Filed a disputed charge with my bank. Checked Zelle who now shows the “recipient address has been unrolled with Zelle”. Recontacted seller and they stated they would “check with accounting” and ship the item. Now they website is down. They use google voice for their phone number and no one answers.
