[QUOTE="wernerpd, post: 2499674, member: 119146"] I really wish the moderators would post a sticky note that is readily visible with the title of "Is This Site a Scam?" Here are some pretty good indicators. 1) They have **everything** in stock that nobody else has in stock while country wide shortages remain, it is likely a scam. 2) If you find **significant** spelling errors all across the site, it is likely a scam. 3) If you go to the "Contact us" or "About us" section and find a street address, use your favorite mapping program to see where it lands. If it is a picture of a residential house or the local McDonalds, it is probably a scam. 4) Check the sources of payment. If it is littered with choices such as "CashApp, Zelle, Venmo, or Paypal" and has no place to enter a credit card for the transaction, it is likely a scam. [Paypal is on the list since they will refuse to issue a refund for any gun related purchases.] 5) Do a WHOIS search ([URL]https://www.whois.com/[/URL]) for the domain in question. If the domain is recently registered, registered overseas or registered privately (no direct contact info), it is likely a scam. I am sure there are more ways to check, but suffice it to say if they can't pass the above five tests, it is likely a scam. pw [/QUOTE]
