Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds Scammer Kenneth Pena “jarhead17”

Hi I just got approved to be on this forum. I am Justin Fouch owner of Fouch Arms the ffl where it was brought to my attention that we were getting drug in mud! To clarify what happened on my end my wife was contacted by a man named Kenneth and he wanted a transfer he called my wife on her cell phone (not sure how he got the number) and not on our business line. Stating he wanted a transfer and he would get us the info, he sent info over and before it got sent he text back that he cancelled the order not to worry about it. And this evening after being notified about the situation by others on this forum I contacted him and he told me that he ordered another gun from a different dealer online and had the transfer done at another local gun shop, and he was just trying to get his money back! So think what you want about the transaction. I know my opinion and I’m gonna keep that to myself thanks have a wonderful day!

Never in all my born days have I seen such a clusterfuck caused by a high and mighty newbie FFL as Mr. 284BLR. There were multiple ways he could have handled this but he chose poorly. From taking PayPal Friends and Family (which I have in the past, but will no more) to calling the inexperienced guy a scammer, well, it takes the biscuit. FYI, BATFE states there is no requirement for the receiving FFL to send a copy of their FFL to the selling FFL because there are several ways to verify same: either via EZ Check or by downloading a copy of all the FFL's in the area simply by providing your OWN FFL #. FYI, I am also an 07FFL/SOT, have been one for well over a decade and used to be the BATFE regulatory compliance guy at a major firearms manufacturer. I'm also in Law Enforcement, about to be an accredited Task Force officer with the BATFE to boot so I might just know what the fcuk I am talking about.

See this is the kind of bullshit that happens when people just text instead of CALLING and TALKING. I'm betting it would have taken less than 30 seconds for the high and mighty 284BLR to have explained to the crayon eating Jarhead about what he needed to do. Mr, 284 would likely have found out that the Marine went to his FFL and they told him that the seller had somehow conveyed he hadn't been paid for the item. Ergo, Jarhead, having definitively paid for it, was mightily pissed off. It also might have helped if 284BLR had told Jarhead up front that HE was the selling FFL using whatever his trade name was. The story about the PayPal refund somehow doesn't ring true at ALL. Which is why I NEVER use F&F these days unless it IS a friend or family because that money is GONE when it's sent.

Question is, does 284BLR now have a valid FFL in his hot sticky hand so that he can mail the Marine his shotgun when all this is washed out? Cuz I think that is what he has repeatedly said, no? Hey, 284BLR, you do you but I don't think you come out as righteous in any of this and if the Marine had been better at grammar, I think you might just be a turd in the story. Brother Jarhead, if you still need an FFL sent out to secure your shotgun, let me know. I'm up in Farmington but I'll make it happen. FYI, I used to live in Los Lunas, right off El Cerro Loop so I know right where you and your business is at and its clear you're no scammer, just not great at grammar. Semper Fi and thanks for your service.
