Ripped off in Miami

Aaron,

If you received his FFL or C&R info, you might go on the BATF web site to see if his license number is still valid.

I have had a run in with a fellow in NV State. Before I sent money, we traded FFL's in the mail. I checked his on the web site and saw it had expired...but his signed copy showed a new, current date. Looking at it more closely, the font of the date did not match others numbers on the license. When I saw that, I called off the deal and did not send money.

If you can do this with your Florida fellow and find out his license is bogus, you could even report him to the BATF...so he would get lots of folks looking into his business practices...especially if he ignores your other letters and inquiries for a refund.
