This company located in Jamaica NY, 16210 Jamaica Ave Jamaica, NY 11432 uses deceptive business practices and tries to look like a official Military Clothing and sales Store when they are actually not related at all to the military. They only sell surplus military items.
There should be laws against commercial businesses that use the practice of pretending to be a Military store when they are not. Our soldiers who are deceived should not be the victims of this fraud.
The first question they ask is are you military or law enforcement. They are not in any way related to the military. Check this out on the bbb website. It states they pose as a military business.
Well apparently there are many more disturbed people out there then. Go to WWW.BBB.ORG and check all the complaints against them. In case you do not want to go to the BBB Site here are their comments:
Type of Business: Army & Navy Goods
Membership Status: This company is not a member.
The information in this report has either been provided by the company, or has been compiled by the Bureau from other sources.
Nature of Business
Complaints to the BBB indicate that Armed Forces Military Clothing Sales Store claims to be an Authorized Military Clothing dealer when in fact it is not. In addition, consumers claim that orders placed with the company are often late and incomplete. Consumers also report that the store does not offer refunds.
Customer Experience
Based on BBB files, this business has an unsatisfactory record with the Bureau because it failed to respond to one or more complaints.
The company's size, volume of business, and number of transactions may have a bearing on the number of complaints received by the BBB. The number of complaints filed against a company may not be as important as the type of complaints, and how the company handled them.
Also to get a listing of authorized Military MCSS Stores go to WWW.AAFES.COM. Armed Forces MCSS in Jamaica is not an Authorized Military MCSS Store. Official MCSS Stores are located on Military Bases.
If you want you can even e-mail the Commander for AAFES and they will also tell you that there has been problems with this business.
As for only allowing Military there, ask them how anyone can call them to order something over the phone and you can place a order without a military ID Card. That sounds really secure.
Their History speaks for themselves. G
Hey Guys Listen Up! This IS IMPORTANT! The guy known to many in the airsoft community as "Maj" Carmine Annunziata is actually a FUGITIVE and he is listed with the Volusia County FLORIDA Dept of Corrections. Carmine Annunziata the same person claiming to be a US ARMY Major CARMINE ANNUNZIATA of Armed Forces MCSS Jamaica Queens NY is a FUGITIVE listed with the DEPT of Corrections VOLUSIA COUNTY FL. Annunziata and his crew have been scamming US soldiers and taking advantage of US servicemen through his deceptive business and website, ARMED FORCES MCSS. Carmine Annunziata has visciously attacked US servicemen and women with personal smear campaigns because these soldiers, who were his customers, reported his ripoffs. Annunziata went ballistic on these soldiers by calling the soldiers Commanding Officers and called fake reports to police in an attempt to discredit their complaints. If you have contact with this FUGITIVE CARMINE ANNUNZIATA notify the local police immediately. He may be accompanied by a woman he claims is his wife but is a girlfriend claiming to be a US Army Nurse and Captain. Maria L Garcia. Carmine Annunziata my be with two young men claiming to be Keith Zapata (claiming to be a Sgt., Cpl., and a Specialist) and Jayson Sanchez (claiming to be a Pvt or a Specialist). Carmine Annunziata has been trolling airsoft fields handing out his fake, poorly spelled and unauthorized Army business cards to kids. Annunziata was banned from a popular airsoft / paintball facility in Corum, NY (Long Island). Some of the real military guys there spotted Annunziata as a phony. Beware of this fugitive as he attempts to gain access by claiming to be a high ranking military officer, an operative or agent with CID or Fraud Investigator. Carmine Annunziata is the FRAUD. Let's keep Airsoft safe. Again If you see this FUGITIVE CARMINE ANNUNZIATA notify the local police immediately.

Here is Maria L Garcia and Carmine L Annunziata the owners of Armed Forces MCSS. Carmine Annunziata seen here has NEVER been in the military, but that doesn't stop him from dressing up as one and lying to everyone by misrepresenting himself as a US Army Major. Carmine is a FAKE. What is known about Carmine Annunziata is that he is a Wanted Fugitive according to the Florida Dept of Corrections. Maria has been working very hard to aid this fugitive who set up this store/ website to scam US Soldiers.
Dyed, bleached hair, a little older, no nose ring, but that's Carmine Annunziata with Maria Garcia. Carmine was a drug dealer and all around scam artist in Florida.
Carmine Annunziata in his Mugshot from Florida several years ago (1995)
And another mugshot of Carmine L Annunziata when he was in Florida.
Carmine L Annunziata dressed as a US Army Major. So how does a wanted fugitive become a US Army Major? They can't, but Carmine Annunziata donned this uniform to deceive US Army soldiers so he can scam them out of the soldiers hard earned money. Do Not Show this Fugitive your military ID's. Carmine Annunziata uses several aliases. This picture was taken on Memorial Day in Queens when this fake military officer had the nerve to march in that parade and tell reporters that he was a real US Army Major with the US Army New York Recruiting Battalion. This Wanted Fugitive Carmine L Annunziata has never been in the US Military. What a disgrace.
More bleach. Different look. Same Fugitive.
Full Uniform. Maria L Garcia brings her boyfriend Carmine L Annunziata, to a US Army awards banquet. Carmine Annunziata has never been in the military and is a Wanted Fugitive according to the Florida Dept of Corrections, so why is Maria L Garcia allowing her boyfriend to dress up as a military officer? And a higher rank than she is also. Weird? Why does Maria L Garcia let her fugitive boyfriend into military facilities and expose the real military officers to her criminal fugitive boyfriend?
Carmine Annunziata the scam artist fake military officer and career criminal who has been terrorizing soldiers and citizens for years in FL and NY cannot hide from his victims. You will regret every keystroke, every threatening phone call, every lie posted about the soldiers and other victims that Carmine has scammed and harassed with his crew at Armed Forces MCSS.
Carmine will beg for mercy as he burns in hell.

Real soldiers will never forget the harassment and the lies that you and your boys did Carmine!
As a former employee of this place (too naive and young to know better) I can attest to some of the goings on. The business practices were less than honorable, however I personally think the owner was way in over his head. Financially, the company was off to a bad start and never got its footing. In addition to being an online store, it was primarily a retail location in Gertz Plaza Mall in Jamaica, NY. The environment was not ideal for a business to flourish. And the type of person we dealt with on a daily basis was one who would cause us problems regularly. So business, needless to say, was very slow. Which I believe was part of the reason the owner made the refund policy so disagreeable. And why the prices were higher than anywhere else. He needed money and refused to part with it once he got it. Day after day he would spend in the stock room replying to credit card companies about charge backs. He had severe anger issues and went from 0 to 100 in no time flat. Hard to believe I worked there as long as I did.
Oh and also, Keith was never in the military. He is no sergeant. Never made it through basic training, and he was dumb enough for Carmine to manipulate him into thinking he actually is in the military, and actually is a sergeant. A good deal of these positive posts about the store are probably Carmine himself.
Not trying to defend the man. By the way, after reading through all these comments, I can guarantee col booker is actually carmine. As are all the other positive comments. There used to be a Leslie fields way back in the beginning but he was no longer a part of the company after a certain point. Carmine continued to manage multiple email addresses. So every email you guys send, is to him. This Leslie fields email address is also him. Maria's email address is him. Keith is just an ID-10T, trust me. Never knew jayson Sanchez. Maria herself was a sweet individual but knowing she had knowledge of what was going on makes me question that. Maybe she didn't know what was going on, seeing how after a while she stopped coming in to the store.
