Aero Precision Fraud

[ARlife4me]

that's sad on so many levels for a company to do this!

This is conisidered theft. Send all information to the authorities that preside over the area where the business is. Ask them to investigate. that's their job.

I have contacted the local PD and they informed me that because their was an agreement to purchase ,it becomes civil, not criminal. I consider it theft by deception, which I know is not illegal in some states.

Nothing civil about theft.

Wait a minute. Aren't they participating in interstate commerce. Isn't that a federal crime? Shouldn't he get the FBI or ATF involved? That's a much bigger hammer and anyone that doesn't fear the FBI these days under Kash Patel is not too bright.

To begin I have tried to contact them with no success. After months of waiting for an item, I requested a refund. I was told they had to send a paper check instead of crediting my card back. I recieved the check and the bank called today and said the check was returned. Has anyone had to file charges against them before?

According Google:
Aero Precision, a prominent Washington-based manufacturer of firearms components (often associated with AR-15s), is owned by White Wolf Capital LLC, a private investment firm. Aero Precision functions under the umbrella of White Wolf Capital's portfolio, along with related companies like Ballistic Advantage.

Missouri is a long distance from Pierce County, Lakewood, Washinton.

Consider a claim in small claims court. Normally, plaintifs and dependents cannot hire an attorney to represent them. However, exceptions can be made by the small claims court administrator of that county. Like, are you disabled, hearing, sight or mobility issues, old, cannot travel, poor ? After a win in small claims court, file a judgement against Aero Precison and get a lien. If shot down by court admin, include rejection in AG complaint. Should you win in small claims court ask for fees. Up to $10K in Washington and 10 years after event.

I just looked and Aero Precison has an active & slick web site. Other info has them complaining about a bad firearms business climate in Washington state - a sensible gun related business would have got out of Washington after Dino Rossi was unelected after being certified as election winner. Strong anti gun attitude in Washingon (politics involving guns).

Send Aero Precison, via certifed mail, a demand letter including a copy of the returned check. If the check was issued with knowledge of insufficient funds or closed account that is fraud. Tell them you are considering filing a small claims action against them and have a returned check. Efforts need to be made prior to filing a small claims action.

Possibly the credit card company dropped them so a check was issued. Aero Precision stalled to avoid credit card refund.

Filing a compaint with the WA AG's office is a good move. Include a copy of the returned check.

A BBB complaint is a good move. I recently filed one against an optical company located in Colorado concerning their failure to comply with their warranty.
The issue was no parts supplied after 6 months of attempts. I received the parts 25 days after filing the BBB compaint. My BBB complaint will go on record and serve as a warning to others to avoid that company, like avoid buying their stuff. If the company ignored the BBB complaint my next move would be the Federal Trade Commision. I kept a record of some 11 contacts with the company and forwarded them to the BBB as attachments.

The Federal Trade Commision might have issues with Aero Precision's web site, like fraud.

Thank you for your post - not "airing" but a valid warning.

Aero Precision (firearms) has been evicted from their last two facilities, and with the state of Wash's new gun manufacture laws it is driving them under or at least out of the gun making business. They are still in the aerospace industry, but they are going under in the gun making.

they've been blowing out solus barrels this year for sure. they ran them from$200-250 at the start of the year then midway cleared a bunch more for them around $175-225

they shipped me one, took maybe two weeks to get here

Day 5 post last communication attempt. Still no response from Aero. Just updating.

 

[WA Coyote]

They're right down the street from my office. You want me to go knock on their door and ask them for your money?

I'd be happy to do it…. I hate companies that pull crap like this.

Update. Still no refund recieved or explanation of returned check. The Washington State AG had informed me that this falls under their IFC policy (informal complaint), and that they have reached out to Aero, but it is optional for Aero to comply. What a dishonest Company.

 

[WA Coyote]

What a dishonest Company.

In a dishonest State.

Offer to show-up unannounced is still on the table.

It's like they died and forgot to lay down. They won't say they're out of business, but I trust actions over words. This report and others similar, plus the absolute unavailability of parts, they are certainly dead to me. What a shame.
