getting internet scammed
Last year i was cheated out of over two hundred dollars because i failed to do research on a paintball website. the websits name is www.paintballerz.com and i suggest that you never go there. they have a fake number and will steal your money. the bbb (better business bureau) gave them an F and it sucks because you can't get ahold of them. we are looking into ways to get my money back. has anybody had this problem with websites, and if you have post the site name so everyone knows its a scam.

well ive bought a Defiant 2 for my friend that was in "LNIB" condition and working with a few ups on it from PBNation. I got it, no up's on it, stripped reg, and a stripped reg-holder... He was a 12 year old kid and his mom didnt care that he was doing any of this... I have his name,address,s/n, even *******. He is already banned from the nation tho.

i guess you gotta just know the person or like on ebay, make sure they have good feedback or try to find a person who has bought from the site again. but now i only buy from actionvillage and anyhtingxtreme, paintball discounters, and my friend bought from rockstarsports and i know 888paintballworks, firstcallpaintball, opsgear, specialopspaintball, and then theres always amazon and ebay. (all of these have a .com and no spaces.)

Always buy from local shops.
1. You know where they are.
2. It helps paintball as a whole.

Yeah I always try to buy from my local paintball store, then I know that I'll get the thing that I'm looking for. But that sucks because I have that site in my favorites because they have good prices. Oh well.

I've never heard of this from a website. It's pretty sad what people try to pull. You need to file a police report. You need proof that you paid them, showing what you ordered, and obviously not having the goods you ordered.

i do buy from my local shop, i actually just got a full 06 freak kit for 85 dollars new. they are good, but they don't have everything, and they say they can order it, but all their gonna do is order it from action village and charge me the shipping and extra (I've done it before). i look at atleast 4 places before i go to the internet, but what i'm sayin is, when i did, of course i looked for the best prices, which paintballerz.com had, but apparently they are to lure you in. i have filed a police report and got the fbi involved. its crazy the people that you can get involved in things like this. i hope i get my money back. just make sure you know that the company is real. paintballerz.com was real at one point, until they went bankrupt and started cheating people out of money, and i'm pretty sure they still are, since the only phone number doesn't get answered, ever. two whole weeks of calling all day, and no one answers.
