Cholla Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 I and another member of this board were searching for .45-90 brass. This site came up but their payment methods raised some red flags. I dug deeper and they are 100% a scam. They claim to be in Alaska. The store front shown is from another gun shop in Utah. The scam website even ripped the real gun shop's content. SCAM WEBSITE PHOTO: SCAM WEBSITE ABOUT US: Real Website: BBB Listing: Note the poor command of English and our "tax" system. If a website only takes Bitcoin, PayPal Friends and Family, or gift cards, that is a huge red flag that it is a scam. They are the same as cash and you have no way to get your money back. These are trying times and scammers are cashing in on our desperation. Be vigilant and if something seems to good to be true, it most likely is. If a website claims to have everything you need in stock but Powder Valley, Grafs, Midway, and Brownells don't have it... it's most likely a scam.

Not Dead Ed Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 It’s a shame we don’t have some white hat hackers in our midsts to take out these scammers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rainmaker, SASS #11631 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Tried to call them a couple times... gave up and considered them bogus. This was months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Coles SASS 1188 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 I live in Anchorage and have never heard of them. Also, no one who claims to sell things at the “best price” is based here. The shipping costs are too high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
