Anybody know anything about these guys?
Anybody know anything about these guys?
Does it seem too good to be true? Do they have lots of items out of stock elsewhere? No quantity limit? Accept digital currency only/no credit cards? Likely a scam.
The website I went to has 134 8 lb jugs of green dot in stock. 134 Blue Dot in stock too...
Pay through zelle and product ships the next day...

If it is this place they take credit cards and pay pal according to the banner at the bottom of the home page. But they are not in the Harlan Iowa business yellow pages. I'd be leary. $85 for cci mag rifle primers seems a little too good to be true as they are unobtainum wherever I've looked.

Zelle and cash app as primary payment, if you want to use paypal contact them which is bogus, paypal has payment buttons so I bet they ask for family and friends only.
Yep my scam radar was going off. Thanks guys
Latest attempts at scamming us has the sites accepting credit cards but AFTER you place the order getting an email,stating to cut costs, etc that they now only accept Zelle, etc. If in doubt at all, don't order. Just not worth it.
I always look for the physical address and look at it on google street view. Then verify the phone number and make sure they accept credit card or other scam protected payment methods. Last, but not least https://www.scamadviser.com and google for the phone number... More technical, but a check of the "whois" entry will show when the site was registered.
Domain name was created on 2023-02-01, so does not match the story on the website (started in 2010)
The tiny icon for their website shows a "wordpress" logo - no serious company owner would leave it that way.
The site is hosted by a cheap hosting provider (https://www.h4g.co) and I recommend emailing abuse.support@h4g.co to complain about the scammer on their systems and if you want to take it to the next level, contact the FBI and file a complaint...

If they use payment methods that are not scam protected, like a credit card, it is a scam. Period.

Just an FYI... if you use a credit card to pay with "Friends and Family" with PayPal you will be charged the fees that a seller would... BUT you CAN charge-back I the brown stuff hits the fan.

I did some digging on this one a while back and can only conclude that they are a scam.

"Great genius will always encounter fierce opposition from mediocre minds." --Albert Einstein.
I always wonder since Hazmat is involved IF they ship why UPS or Fedex doesn't step in???
Being an honest man, maybe naive, I would think I would be quickly jailed and fined.
But there are more and more thieves, not less. Have we lost the Rule of Law?
We ruined the telephone, nobody will answer one.

Remember mail? That letter took a week and two days, AZ to MD.
USPS has ponies again? Slow ponies at that...
Kinda hard to punish a scammer if ya can’t catch them! Send them money via PayPal, within 30 min they have it on cash it’s gone! Ya complain, PayPal closes the account. So what they open a different one! The only way to stop them is to stop falling for it! If a deal is to good to be true, it probably is! No address, ph#, they don’t take cc, only take PayPal or zel or whatever it’s called, IT’S A SCAM! If it’s the only place to find an item, and the price is lower than market, IT’S A SCAM! Real business don’t operate like that! Stop falling for it and they will stop trying, at least for a while. Just like the old Nigerian prince scam. You don’t here about that so much in a while. Unfortunately PT Barnum nailed it when he said “There’s a sucker born every minute, and two to take his money”.
