Colt 45

Internet fraud

I, too, have been scammed by a dirty, ex-Chicago cop doing "business" in Las Vegas. I did a credit card purchase for $362.95 on November 17th, 2010 for a S.T.U. shoulder holster for an FNP Tactical 45 after reading a featured article on Ardolino and Lawman Leather published in the Jan/Feb issue of American Handgunner. I soon smelled a rat, and went to the Las Vegas BBB website to discover Ardolino had been running this scam for most of 2010 (well before the magazine article was published). The magazine, which by the way, published many adds for Lawman Leather leads me to believe he may have owed them advertising dollars, and publishing a story about Ardolino's company was the only way for them to re-coupe their loss.

I have spoken to Ardolino many times about not receiving my order and he continues to lie. He knows the credit card companies will only go after the merchant during the first 90 days after the card transaction date. He doesn't seem to have any fear of being charged with interstate wire and mail fraud.

Ardolino is now re-located and set-up shop in Yoakum, Texas and is doing business as The Wild Guns Leather Company, P.O. Box 796, Yoakum, TX 77995. His website is: wildgunsleather.com. If you want to hear something really funny, call his business phone 361-389-4566 after hours, and you will hear Ardolino himself on the recording, attempting to speak with a phoney Texas accent. What a tool this clown is!!!

Here is a list of all the phone numbers I have for this clown: 702-227-0072, 877-445-2962, 702-576-3906, 702-588-9583, 702-227-0036, 361-389-4566. I will attempt to contact him tomorrow. If that doesn't happen, maybe the Feds will have better luck. I'll almost bet he has filed bankruptcy, which will leave all of us holding an empty bag.

Update, Friday, December 16th, 2011, after attempting to contact the Ardolino family this morning by calling the six phone numbers listed in my previous post, I will be filing an internet fraud complaint on the FBI's website located at:

http://www.ic3.gov/complaint/default.aspx

I urge anyone who has been victimized by these crooks to do the same. There is strength in numbers, so, speak up and let your voices be heard and justice will prevail.

Cudos to Colt 45 for some good detective work! I, too, have filed a complaint with the FBI regarding this perp's activities. Lets keep on him and his band of thugs. If we can't get our order or our money back, at least we can put him out of business and maybe get him a free trip to the slammer. My next call is to a friend in Homeland Security for some additional advice on how to nail this crook. Colt 45 is correct; there is definite strength in numbers!

I, too, was scammed by these crooks. Ordered a holster back in May of 2010 with a promise date of December 2010. Of course they wanted the money up front and the long-lead-time for delivery they give you is to assure the time limit for credit card dispute has long passed. If you are waiting on a holster from these creeps, you might as well give it up. You're much more likely to win the lottery jackpot than get anything out of these scumbags.

For all of you that have been ripped off by these perps, here is an update you might find of interest. Jerome Mark Ardoline aka "Jerry" has moved his operation to Yoakum, Texas and is still running his scam under "Wild Guns Leather". He has this posted on his new website: "(Please Note: Any person having placed any orders with the entity Lawman Leather Goods Corporation of Nevada, should contact the representative of the Board of Directors at (702) 576-3906 for information)". It is interesting to note, however, that he is still accepting orders for Lawman leather saying to make the checks payable to "Wild Guns Leather". How stupid does he think we all are? Isn't it interesting how he conveniently distanced himself from his Nevada operation leaving all of us empty handed while he moves to Texas with our money, I might add, and starts the same crap all over again. We need to make a concentrated effort to keep putting the word out on this guy so maybe the authorities will finally decide to take a hard look at him and hold him accountable. I will welcome the day when the only thing this dishonest perp is making is license plates!

Its may 2012 and the Wild Guns Leather Company with Jerry Ardolino is still taking orders and not delivering his holsters. I was stupid and sent him a check, On the day it cleared the bank I found out about his illegal transactions. Its been 8 months now and no holster. Do not buy from him. Its all a scam.

This Company has NO INTEGRITY.

This Company has NO INTEGRITY.
Their Product is very unprofessionally built. They said they would make it all good for us, then refused to do anything, but badger us repeatedly, acting like we had done something wrong, even though they admitted to knowing the product was damaged.
Also, Not only did it smell Very Badly of SMOKE, the whole packaging smelled so bad that we had to take it away from the house and put it in the dumpster down the street to keep the awful smell out of the garage and trash too.
