Are Gunn&Hook posts real or scam?

Postby gun_fan111 on Fri Aug 16, 2013 8:28 am

Hello, does anybody know anything about these discount posts in Group Deals? Is this for real or a scam? Website looks brand new and phone number is out of state...
Did you just buy that beautiful firearm, or are you trying to sell that piece of crap?

For your consideration:
About a week past, a similar post was made, with a similar offer: Join up for fair amount of money up front, and get cheap ammo; followed by a warning from someone that there was a scam going around that had been reincarnating itself around the various firearms' sites. The scam: join up, send money, and the 'club' disappears... Curiously(or not) the organization/ website making the original offer vanished..... Then appeared Gun & Hook.

I won't be joining.

Yeah, the ammo "club" was way over my bull**** thresh hold, but the Horse and Hunt deals got me thinking...

Oh well :roll:

I was looking for a way to report those posts or the user, but I couldn't find one. Seems like the sort of thing a mod or admin would handle once they know about it.

The horse and hint deal is legit. It is a coupon I keep getting through Groupon.
Well, when I see 5 weirdos dressed in togas stabbing a guy in the middle of the park in full view of 100 people, I shoot the bastards. That's my policy.

H&H said the Gunnhook deal is legit, who said they are scammers?

I don't think anyone said it was a scam. I for one pondered the legitimacy of the 'ammo club' offer, as it appears identical to a recent scam that has been known to morph itself around the internets.
I hope it works out for you.
