FLORIDA GUNWORKS - "MATT" SAVED BY THIS WEBSITE----THANKS RIPOFF MIAMI Florida
I called these guys after finding their web site. I had an Austrian and an Israeli FN/FAL that I wanted to sell.....all assembled with the IMBEL after market receivers that I had purchased a few years ago. "Matt" was very friendly on e-mail and told me that they would be willing to purchase them provided I send the weapons and they examined them to their satisfaction.
They refused to send ANY money up front because they have been "ripped off" in the past by unscrupulous persons. I would have to "trust them". Well we haggled over prices and how to consumate the deal. We finally agreed upon one. I was to send the 2 built FNL's, a complete Belgian kit WITH an aftermarket receiver, and a bunch of other "bonus" pieces that I didn't need (receiver wrench, magazines, Bushnell scope, and a few other parts that I was "giving" them because I didn't need them any longer). They would then examine them and make sure I wasn't sending them "JUNK". If the rifles were OK, they would send me a check "the same day".
When I told them the guns were on their way to Florida, and that the unassembled FAL did not have an IMBEL receiver, but another manufacturer, they suddenly changed their attitudes about our deal. Started saying the single receiver was "junk" and could "just be thrown away" and that now they would be losing money on the deal. Became quite "nasty", he did.
Anyways, now I became very apprehensive...my guns were on their way to Florida via UPS and it sounded like I was going to lose my rifles to these guys......something didn't add up. I kept asking for a phone number so we could discuss the matter, but could not find one anywheres, nor would they send me a phone number.
Anyways, I looked on the web usning their business name and found this site. I almost fell out when I read all the BAD reports about these guys. I would not have believed these stories if it wasn't for the way my interactions with them had gone.
I called UPS and thank goodness, I was able to put a stop delivery on my shipment before they could be delivered and everything was returned to me.....Hooray UPS......!!!
Well, instead of celebrating having gotten one over on an old Vietnam VET, the last laugh is on them. I got my rifles back and will sell them to someone who is "legit" and honest.
MY message to EVERYONE who reads this....STAY AWAY FROM THESE GUYS...READ ALL THE NEGATIVE BLOGS ABOUT THESE SCOUNDRELS...!!!
