scam primo reloading

Post by kenny sd »

I tried to buy LR primers on line with Primo Reloading. they had me set up a Pay Pal account.
they do not take MC because 'our system is having trouble right now'
they give me an e mail to send the money, pay pal won't do it.
they give me another e mail etc. again pay pal won't do it.
a guy called from the FACTORY. India guy, kids in the background.
'we have your order to ship, pay pal is not good. lets try another acct.
I told him I was given another e mail yesterday. he said
' oh, that box is full, so we can't use it. here is MY e mail.

I CANCELLED THE ORDER. TOLD HIM YOU ARE A SCAM RIGHT? HE GOT SILENT.
STAY AWAY FROM
PRIMO RELOADING ON THE NET.
they show primers, but Pay pal won't pay them because
get this
Pay pal thinks there is a problem with this company and won't pay them.
SCAM

By chance, as an alternate offer did he mention extending the maintenance warranty on you car?

All good advice. I guess I was just naïve
there are a couple of sites that have all in stock so they say, but like the first.
an India voice, send to e mail , no credit cards, new e mail every time you ask where to send it.
and Kids playing in the backround...wow.

at least I stopped in time...
but I'm sure the car warranty will be ok...HA>

I just had a similar situation with Federalprimers.com. They don't take credit cards, and in chat pushed me to use Bitcoin. I selected Paypal but never got a link for payment. An email from their company wanted me to use Paypal "Friends and Family" to pay. When I said I would only use the normal commerce payment (where they pay a fee, and I get a guarantee not to loose money), they said only use "Friends and Family". So I bailed out and will be reporting them to Paypal. Gotta watch it close nowadays.

That's exactly what happened to me Lone Star. they wanted me to use friends and family...
now that primers are a 'thing', we have to be careful with scams.

if the BIG guys are all out, then why would a little fly by night Indian company have them all.
I was almost gullable, and bailed out in time.

if you notice, all those sites have the same type of 'chat' system, I'll bet they go to the same guy in India that has
his kids screaming in the background.

There are tons of these scammers out there. Buyer beware. If they don’t take credit cards they are a scam unless you are buying primers on gun broker. Watch out for things like: primers in stock when nobody else has em, they even show some primers out of stock - they are very crafty and sneaky. I you look closely there are usually grammatical errors and figures of speech that just don’t make sense. Don’t ever buy anything from these jerks! Total scam - they have realized that reloading supplies are a good way to scam people. Be careful in who you trust. Again, if the payment method is Venmo or some other form other than credit cards they are probably a scam - once you pay they are gone, you are out primers and money.

Yeah, one red flag with these operations is they always have a chat system. When I run across these websites I screw with them a bit on the chat like I have no clue and then sock it to em with “I know your a scammer and your mother does you know what”. Lol! They cuss me me out so I know I hit the bullseye. A lot of times they have a checkout system that emails you with link to a payment system after you check out. So I’ll order 500,000 primers and then just delete the email. Lol 😂

In addition to primer scans, I live in the United States under the Biden Administration AND, I am taking bids from roofing companies to replace my hail damage - I feel like scamming is a way of life now - it is simply terrible!

I guess we can be thankful we weren't in Afghanistan when the Taliban were checking the boarding passes.
