Guns Warehouse question

[Trooper Joe]

I wonder if this is legit?

Guns Warehouse

Ruger VAQUERO .45 ACP 3.75 Stainless Steel BIRDSHEAD GRIP $449.80

I am getting different phone numbers in their messages since I tried to order this on 2-6-21. Also, they want payment in the form of "GooglePay" or "CashApp". Could not get these to work which is OK since this seems somewhat suspicious.

Yeah that looks to good to be true , maybe look for some online reviews of the place . I never heard of them before your post .

Anyplace that asks you to pay in a form of cash is a definite scam because once they have it you're pretty much SOL on getting it back, those form of payments is just like you sending cash.
There are multiple posts in as many Forums that have members that have found ammo and gun supply places that are put together from lifted pages of legitimate outlets, except that the pages are from a few years ago when prices were still cheap, their downfall is showing everything in stock even at those prices while legitimate places are all out of stock of everything, plus like I said, asking cash.
BUYER BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!

Plus,looking at the link above, where have you ever seen a gun place that will accept returns of guns with no questions asked?, Everyone says return to manufacturer for repair or replacement, not return to store.
I say Scam.

There's no way I'd deal with a company that wants to be paid in anything, but something recoverable if they don't perform. Prices on other guns are way too low to be real. If it's too good to be true, it usually is.

The ad also says they have seven orders in the last thirty days. At that price, these days, seven orders in thirty days???

Run far away from these guys. Do a couple of searches on that name, and nothing good comes up for reviews.

Agree with everyone else- RUN away, don’t walk! :x

Payment methods they asked of you are a huge clue.

They say they’re in Houston, TX, but list a phone number with Flint, MI area code on their home page.

Looks like they’ve used multiple names, multiple websites, multiple phone numbers... Better Business Bureau complaint (above) said they treat shipping to an FFL as optional. :shock: Well, it would be handy to avoid using an FFL... just might not be wise.

These guys have more red flags than China and the USSR combined! :mrgreen:

"I am getting different phone numbers in their messages since I tried to order this on 2-6-21. Also, they want payment in the form of "GooglePay" or "CashApp"."

$118.00 for a Ruger Wrangler?

Anyone want to contact them for a forum group buy of 50 units?

I just talk to the actual gun warehouse in Texas (512-986-7330) who is shown as "mygunswarehouse.com". They are legitimate and are aware of the scammer. The staff member I talk to says they're taking legal action against the scammer. I have requested that that store manager call me and I will post more information when I find out about it.

I'm really upset (embarrassed) about this since I'm a former Michigan State Police Detective and this scammer is using a Michigan phone number (616 area code).

Thanks for all the support gang.

SO, will they price match their competitor?

The Houston address given is "close" to the address of a real gun shop.
