TO THE FLOOR IN A 63 121 Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 I purchased a suppressor on Gunbroker about the beginning of April. On May 16th after inquiring I got an email saying the form three paperwork had been completed and my suppressor would go out in the next few days. On May 31st after again inquiring I was told that it was someone else' paperwork that came back on May 16th but mine had just come back. Long story short my FFL asked that I ask for a tracking number when it was sent to him. Said tracking number never arrived. Maybe I should have wondered more when at first the company said they didn't have a fax and then their phone just rang through to a full voice mailbox...so the whole deal was done by email which they stopped responding to. The final straw occurred on Monday when I called the number that goes through to the full mailbox and I got a return hangup call from that same number. So I sent them the following email yesterday: Dear sirs: I have not heard from you regarding my suppressor and your phone goes to a full mailbox and you don't return my email. Consider this a demand email. If I don't hear from you in the next few hours regarding my suppressor or the money I have sent you I will start filing fraud complaints with every agency I can think of and that includes but is not limited to ATF and your states attorney general. Within hours I got an email with a tracking number with a date of shipment...which was yesterday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TO THE FLOOR IN A 63 121 Posted June 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Yeah... :lolol: but while I threatened him with the big boys I was on the horn with his county sheriff. I got bounced to two or three different people but the bottom line was they wanted a patrol officer to call me back to take the report and the dispatcher and/or officer were slow getting back to me...about 20 minutes after I got his email. They were all real nice but I don't think they quite knew what to do about a complaint from a guy 1500 miles away about getting ripped off on a suppressor. :lolol: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ram123 17 Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 glad it finally worked out for you. I've been through it as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scott Kenny 144 Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 Just tell them that ATF said the item was legal, since you got a copy of the approved Form, and since this is across state lines it just became a case of Mail Fraud, too! But I'm glad that smacking someone upside the head with ATF worked. I mean, I don't want to have to deal with any ATF agent professionally unless I initiate the discussion, but I'm sure I've had a beer or three with a few outside of work.
