    Fake Website

    https://onlineammo-store.com/

    Here is their listed address:

    https://www.google.com/maps/place/41...!4d-95.3939424

    Street view. Never mind the 418. Google frequently gives the address on the opposite side of the street in street view.

    https://www.google.com/maps/@29.8180...7i16384!8i8192


    https://onlineammo-store.com/about-us/


    Save the bottom picture on that page. It is from a shop in Glassboro NJ

    The foreign language under "Global Shipping" "Secure Payment" etc is Finnish. Translate it and see what you find.

    If they don't take VISA, MC, or AMEX, it is 100% ALWAYS a scam. No need to google. No need to ask. No major CC, then yes, it's a scam. period.

    Sadly people fall for it every. single. day.

    We have to deal with this a lot at our store and I always tell people if the only checkout option are zelle or bitcoin don't do it. Zelle even stats on their website zelle shouldn't be used to purchase items on websites (only really meant for meetups, or sending money to people you know).

    We have saved a few people but sadly also know quite a few who have been burned.

    Greed and stupidity on both ends of that transaction. No sympathy. Use known, legit sellers, even if the product costs a few cents per round more.

    So many "errors" on that site, spelling, capitalization, etc.

    But then someone said "There's a sucker born every minute"

    Plus 1.

    They could be a scam if they take CC but they’re absolutely a scam if they don’t.

    I didn't get as far as the payment page. I smelled a rat before that. I did notice the past participle missing on a word. I saw another comment on the web saying that they didn't speak English, another give away.

    Dagnabit I blew the sting. I went on their chat yesterday and called them F-ing scammers.

    The only problem is that there are unknowns who aren't scammers. I got a great deal from an unknown the other day but I did check them pretty thoroughly.
