Total money lost $1,823.80
Type of a scam Online Purchase

On or about June 15, 2022 I placed an online order with this company for 20 "bricks" reloading primers and 16 pounds of gunpowder. After agreeing to pay thru PayPal "friends", and at the request of Mr. Les Odegaard, I transferred 3 payments to two different g-mail accounts - one account I sent $823.80 and $500 and the second account was $500 for a total of $1823.80. One of the transfers did not go thru immediately - PayPal said it would take up to 72 hours to process. I checked my PayPal account a week later and it showed all three payments were complete. On July 2, 2022 I contacted Mr. Odegaard to find out the status of my order and he told me they were waiting on the last $500. He said I needed to contact PayPal about this. I contacted PayPal and they said all three payments had processed and were paid on June 15, and that the recipient would need to contact PayPal to trace the funds. I passed this information to Mr. Odegaard and he later told me he could not work with PayPal because I had disputed the payment and I would need to work with them. I have asked him twice to tell me which $500 payment he did not receive and have yet to hear from him. He just wants ,me to send another $500. I again contacted PayPal today, July 10, to ensure I understood correctly what the process was, and it was confirmed. PayPal also reinforced a suspicion I have in which this MAY be a scam. I as that you follow up on this complaint and let me know if my feelings are true. Attached is pretty much the complete text messaging with Mr. Odegaard. Thank you for your assistance.

Total money lost $224.97
Type of a scam Online Purchase

ON June 21, I purchased some primers from American-Primers.com. The purchase was tedious as their website did not have credit card capability and they wanted me to use either Zelle or Apple Pay to transfer the money. After I gained Zelle capability, I made the payment to Holland Mason as they directed. After that they stopped responding to my text messages. They refused to ship the order or cancel it. I know I've been scammed, just hope this may help someone else avoid a loss.
