On July 21,2020, I ordered 10000 rifle primers for $380 + $30 shipping. Payment had to be by Paypal Friends or Zelle. After a brief run-around they finally acknowledged they received payment. Later that day I got a message with a tracking # with a shipper called Fellex(sort of like Fedex with a fraud element. On the day that the shipment was due, I got a call stating that a "Refundable Insurance" deposit of $630 was necessary before delivery could be completed. At that point, I woke up and started checking things out. It appears the whole thing is a scam. The website is fictitious, there is no FFL in that zip code, I have been had. I wish I had checked ScamPulse.com first, there are over a dozen complaints of a similar nature.

On 4/19/2020, I purchased an air gun from www.globalgunsales.com for $630 shipping included. I received an invoice in the email asking me to finish the transaction on the WhatsApp app. I got in touch with a rep named Augustine Ding. He asked me to send the $630 payment thru his Zelle account ([email protected]). After sending the full amount, Mr. ding sent me the delivery details. The shipping company is (https://fb-globallogistics.com/) and the tracking number is FB002117844139CA.
On Saturday 4/25/2020, I received an email from shipping company ([email protected]) stating that the insurance fee for the package has not been paid. They are asking me to pay the high insurance fee or else the package will not be delivered. The insurance fees were ridiculous, ranging from $1200 to as high as $3300. I contacted Augustine Ding thru WhatsApp that I no longer want the item and want a full refund. Mr. Ding stated that it’s out of his hands and that I should contact the shipping company and pay the fee. He said the item is stuck in an airport I’ve never heard of, LAUGHLIN BULLHEAD INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT AZ ,USA.
In summary, I’m 100% sure that Global Gun Sales and the shipping company Global Logistics are fake. My rush to purchase a rare item blinded my logic. I want to at least make my $630 count by shutting this fraud website.
