Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Was looking for some photos of the new Federal primer boxes and to check the current MSRP. Came on a site that looked like the Federal website. Had primers listed. Everything looked legit until you get to checkout. Venmo and Bitcoin -- FRAUD. Be careful folks. Looks like even the manufacturer's websites have been hacked or copied. Some sites are legit. For example, you can buy powder directly from Hodgdon off the Hodgon website. ASSUMING of course you are on the actual website and not a fake. Again you will know when you get to checkout and they don't take credit cards. https://federalprimers.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 There should be a pinned list on this forum of the known fake/scammer component sites. OLG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Dead Ed Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 The real Federal Ammunition site is FederalPremium.com. they make it close for those who aren’t careful…. funny, all these scam sites have a similar look to them too…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyatt Earp SASS#1628L Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Can tell it's a fake site by the first page. "We got you needs for ammunition" "Your safety is well Guarantee with our bills" "Our supporters services are always to help" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLG You'll just be chasing your tail. They can change their names and certificates faster than you can get them listed. Remember the simple rule of commerce: If it sounds too good to be true, it is more than likely a scam. Other things we have already hit on: No CC for payment? Scam Business out of a house: More than likely a scam Website just listed: More than likely a scam Has stock and the larger retailers don't: Tread carefully Good catch @J.S. Sooner, SASS #73526Also watch out for similar URLs. I suggest that someone with business dealings with Federal point this fake site out to them. Otherwise have a nice day!

Uncle Ethan # 94321 Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 The sites that come up saying they have primers are most likely a scam site. I have also seen some that said they had Trailboss power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrairieDogPete Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Anyone know about these places? Seems too good to be true as well since both say they have lots of SPP https://houseoffirearm.com Home - ammozdepot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cholla Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Scams. Anytime they accept bit coin, Zelle, Cash app, and not a credit card it's a scam. These are cash apps and no different than you handing cash to a guy in a trench coat on a street corner and him telling you he will be back in 30 minutes with your primers.

Not Dead Ed Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 38.7 on scam-detector.com but it looks like all the other scam sites with pop ups touting people looking or buying. Simple advice, stick to things you know, are legit, midway, Brownells, grafts, Natchez, Bass, Cabelas, or locals. if we all did that, the slugs wouldn’t have people fall for scams… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
