ok...so almost 10 weeks back I spotted a firearm for sale on another site. I contacted the seller for photos and he promptly sent me a photo. Looked good. Descussed the condition and was told what was wrong with it (needed 2 parts replaced). We discussed payment and he requested that it be sent to him at his business (which I verified his association with via the net). Because of the 2 parts that need to be replaced he got a ruling from the ATF that this is considered a parts kit by them. I also called them and spoke with a second ATF agent and they upheld that ruling. I still requested it be shipped to a local gunstore.
Sent funds and the same day he received funds he sent me an email stating it had been shipped to my home. Not happy about that but nothing to be done. I requested tracking...2 weeks went by with him delaying getting me that tracking number. Then I get a message that it was just shipped and here is the tracking....so he lied about shipping the first time.
1 package showed and it is only part of the gun. After calling, emailing, and texting I get notice that package number 2 has been shipped. It arrives...and in looking at what is there...this is NOT the same gun in the photo that I was originally sent. I have since found the stock photo on the net. And I am still missing parts.
Went by the local police and the office staff wouldn't even consider having me talk with an officer about it. Don't know what the laws are surrounding this but I thought that bait and switch was against the law. I also didn't think it mattered how this occurred. Internet, mail, in person...crime is crime.
Guess not.
