Total money lost $950
Type of a scam Online Purchase
I found a gun on this company’s site that I wanted to purchase. The total price of the gun was $2150. It was an antique weapon. We agreed I would pay half in cash and trade in one of my guns for the other half. I got a money order for $950. I sent it *** *** *** *** *** I made it out to John G Donier on 12/26/17. He received it on 1/5/18 and he told me he couldn’t cash it because he had issues at the post office before. I asked him to mail it back to me. I was feeling hesitant about the transaction at that point. He told me he mailed it back and I never received it back. I filled out a form at the post office to track the money order He asked me to wire the money to him, but I refused. He finally cashed the money order on 2/21/18. The money order was due to expire five days before he cashed it. I asked for the serial number of the gun and he went off on me and told me I asked too many questions. He sent me a few pictures of the gun but I couldn’t see the serial number. He sent me a serial number and it didn’t appear to be the same gun. He then blew up on me about it. I told him I didn’t think it was the same guns. He told me he was about to end the deal. He told me he would send my money back. That went on and we went back and forth and I haven’t received my money back. He sent me a bogus driver’s license number.
