Wow. Just the thought gives me chills. A customer of ours told me about being swindled. He sent $10k for a machine gun to a guy in South Carolina. I told him the guy never sent us the gun or even asked for our SOT so how would he have started the Form 3/4 (not sure if he was a dealer or individual). That's the first time I've actually heard of it nearly first hand. For a few years now I've been getting emails about dealers supposedly going out of business and having a lot of dealer samples they need to sell. All top stuff for low prices. I started to suspect that the email all look the same and the list of items are similiar, but there are about four different names that send the email. I suspected it was a "wire me the money and I'll do the form 3". I've heard of them making fake form 3/4s to legitimize their possession of the item. Never looked too closely into it, but I suspect fraud.While my NFA transactions have gone smoothly, I know a number of people who have been swindled, lied to, "ghosted", etc.
Whom do you folks recommend for a COMPETENT NFA dealer to handle transfers?
I live on the far west side, outside the 1604 loop.
thank you
Thanks, everyone. I have used SilencerShop's dealer network before and will cross-check the above with that list.
