Is this your first time in the internet?

Why are you using a debit card to make a purchase online??

Many forget their manners when they are on the internet.

I appreciate your post and warning to keep us on our toes and remind us that scammers are flourishing.

Thank you Mosin46

appreciated man. others have helpfully posted scammers here and thought i should as well.

Def a scam.

Physical address is a big office building catering to startups and family services, and they're not listed as a tenant. Somehow I doubt they could have gotten the zoning to be a SOT in Buffalo, anyway.
All the site's pics are identical to ultimategunsales[.]net, which has been implicated in the past as a scam.
A quick web search comes up with several scam reports.

They've had an Internet presence for a grand total of two months. The site looks fairly professional, except they left some of the 'Lorem Ipsum' boilerplate in the wordpress templates.
Site's hosted out of Latvia.
And the final red flag...
They accept cashapp, PP F&F only, and bitcoin amongst other non-recoverable forms of payment.
Edit:
I give them props, though.. the watermarks they photoshopped onto the real images were just enough to fool Google's image search. They were dumb enough to leave the descriptions exactly the same.

well done bolo. seems like the ammo shortage/prices have created a new avenue for scamming. i bit but bank/cr.un. saved me.

Beware of this website offering a discount ammo: https://honorammoshop.com/. After placing order they contact you via text and send you zelle payment instructions. They also follow up with email. It is a scam.

thx OP, nevermind the twits that have to act like children as their responses speak volumes about their character and personality. It's always appreciated when trying to help protect the hive from online scams.

thanks

Next time check website WHOIS domain information. Recently registered domains + awesome prices means a scam pop up shop.

Thanks for the info!!

Thanks for the heads up I have been tempted many times on those deals but just know it’s to fishy!and convenient.This helps me to stay strong during this crisis and to wait on ammo at my local store. It just sucks the ammo comes in when I am at work everytime. Hopefully one weekend I will get lucky.

Why are you using a debit card to make a purchase online??

What would you do alternatively? Paypal?

 

[Tigerbikes]

If you don't get scammed at least once along the way... you ain't buying anything.

Thanks for the heads up!

Hey got another one for you all. Worldofammunitions. com same as @mosin46 Said They dont have it set up for checkout venmo, zelle you name it. Prices are like a wet dream haha.

Checked on the site info started months ago no reputation listed under multiple names extra. # guy contacted me from is based in LA but there site is in Kansas City Kansas. Said they have "warehouses" all over the country. Let me tell y'all this guy was working so hard to get me to send him money sad honestly.

So everyone keep an eye out you know what they say if it's too good to be true. And if you find one report it to the FTC. As much as we all "like" big brother it will help the few fish who took the bait!

Appreciate the heads up !

 

[mosin46]

the scammers are not just national but also local. FL gun trader had an add for an upgraded sig 365 for $465 from a town i never heard of as a 70+ yr FL resident. the reply didn't locate the town just said "oh,i'll mail it too you". LOL! also,not just modern stuff but prob even more so in C&R. a good friend who is a VERY knowledgeable collector with > 400 in his collection got taken on a german G43 @ $800 (a steal if you don't know). long story short,he did alot of work and finally got the guy prosecuted with the help of a local detective. PO,ATF,FBI cyber crime would give him no help.

i got hit up on instagram the other day by a "ammoshop." Selling good prices.
got to chatting with him in messenger.
all conversation sounded like it was coming directly from a call center in india.
had no idea how a sentence is structured in the english language and his spelling is worse than someone who doesnt speak english. it was creatively bad.

man it was bad. like real bad. was a damned puzzle trying to understand what the hell he was talking about.
heres the last message I got from him.
"Carry on express shipping with tracking number for parkage in other for you to mornitor delivery till it get to your door step"
I can send you his instagram name if you need some cheap ammo..
