Scam Description
Found some products online at Hunter Precision that were in stock. Made the purchase and was asked to pay by Zelle, that was my mistake. The company does not exist and is a scam. I spoke with the real owner of what use to be Hunter Precision and he said they took over his business; created a fake website, fake email addresses that they change daily, and use text now phone numbers on the computer they change daily. I Zelle them the payment. The next morning they text me stating the payment wouldn’t go through and they would refund me. I contacted my bank and in fact the payment had already been delivered, so no way to get my money back. They gave me two Zelle accounts Kennethsalvato89@gmail.com and Bintaaa.x0@gmail.com then a phone number of 847-793-1749 which we text back and forth on. Once I called them they said they would work on a refund and hung up. Then they would never answer my text or phone calls again. The real owner of the business that used to be Hunter Precision stated he didn’t even have a web site. So stay away from this scam and don’t get caught up like I did. My purchase was for percussion caps in the amount of $135.94. The person on the phone was Asian with a deep accent. Tried to upload there receipt but it is blocked somehow.
