Cholla Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Beware of powdervalleyinc.org. It is a scam copy of powdervalleyinc.com. I was stunned to see powder valley had the powder and primers I have been looking for so my Spidey-senses start tingling. I checked payment methods and found the scammer preferred zelle, venmo, bitcoin, etc. Gotta love their spelling! They're worse than I am!!! I found the real powder valley and they are still out of what I need. Go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate scammers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eliphalet R. Moderator Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 https://powdervalleyinc.org/ is still there, trying to scam people out of their hard-earned money. I put a bunch of stuff in the "cart" to see what kind of payment they wanted: Scammer! I sent an email to Powder Valley, just in case their lawyers aren't already on this.

Eyesa Horg Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 They are! I got an email the other day from them and forgot to post it here. Sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salty Pawl Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 All there social media platforms are bogus. The email address is BS, the phone is always busy. Yet, some sap will still buy a bunch of stuff. Then post how he or she never received anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cholla Posted September 23, 2022 Author Share Posted September 23, 2022 I did send the real PV an email as a heads up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John E. Law Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 But it says they have in stock and can order 50k of Federal Large Rifle Primers from them for just $2380. shipped ($45 per 1000). Funny, but large rifle primers haven't been available to even to distributors to backorder for over a year. My Black Hills rep said they can't even get then as they are being shipped by vista directly to the large ammo manufacturers. My distributor allows backorders on just SPP (no rifle, no LPP and only CCI), and only if you have your are an 06/07 FFL manufacturer. The last order I received was $3110. shipped for 50k ($62 per 1000). I cannot believe people would actually buy from these sites, but I guess they do or they wouldn't be so abundant. I reported this site to the FTC, whatever good that'll do. JEL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Black Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Thanks for letting us know about this scam. Its also helpful to see their methods as they can be applied to other legitimate sellers to hook in more suckers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yohan Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 well according to their website registry information they just started this scam in April and the admin is located in North Carolina.

Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 BTW, Powder Valley (the real one) does have plenty of Scheutzen BP in stock! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vidette Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 As Yohan pointed out, it's always a good idea to check who owns the domain name: https://lookup.icann.org/en/lookup compare the domain registration records of the legitimate business with those of the scammer.

Badlands Bob #61228 Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Powder Valley hasn't had anything in stock that I needed in over 4 years. I don't see how they stay in business if they never have anything to sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokin Gator SASS #29736 Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 I've bought powder from the real Powder Valley a couple of times in the past year. WST, Cleanshot, 3031 and black powder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
