StirrupTrouble Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 FYI I just received this email from Henry. Many of you probably did as well, but wanted to make sure: We have been made aware of at least two fraudulent online retail websites that present themselves as being dedicated Henry firearm dealers. In the interest of your privacy and sensitive personal information, we would like to make the Henry Family aware of these retailers as we work to remove them. The websites share names like Henry Gun Store or Henry Gun Shop and require payment through apps like Zelle or a cryptocurrency wallet. If this looks like a website you have run across, please steer clear and do not provide them with any of your financial information. It's unfortunate that bad actors take advantage of a time like this when our firearms are in such high demand. If you believe that you have been defrauded by one of these retailers, we urge you to file a report with your bank, the FTC, and the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center. Be safe out there!

azbordermonkey Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 They got me. I ordered a rifle at 2:00 am and they responded almost immediately. They sent me a link to pay through Zelle. Looking back, all the signs were there, but it looked like a legitimate Henry Dealer. It was www.henrygunshop.com Once I sent them the funds, they claimed that they did not come through on their end. I called my bank and they verified that the funds had been deposited into a Bank of America account. I currently have a fraud claim with my bank and also reported them to the FBI Cyber Crimes Unit. Lesson learned... DO NOT use ZELLE to pay for anything. Zelle is for money transfers only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Ethan # 94321 Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Almost got scammed by a site said to be selling primers. Price was to good to be true. When they asked to be paid by Zelle I told them no thanks. I had never heard of Zelle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Boddems Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 That’s another reason to buy from known sources like Evil Roy he is selling lots of Henry’s and actually has some slick Evil Roy models available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
