[QUOTE="3darcher2, post: 2675467, member: 93642"] There are different levels of bad. A year ago guys would just blindly send money to any website any way in order to hope to get some ammo or components. As people have gotten smarter, so have the scammers, almost all of which are located in Cameroon or Nigeria. It's the same on FB pages, etc. They are getting a little more sophisticated. Some of them out of the gate had done things like copy Midway's terms of service and post them on their own site without even changing the name from Midway. Oldpilot hit the nail on the head with the addresses too. It's a warehouse or a field, never a storefront. Many of the scammer sites look the same and have the same popups. Somehow, they all have every possible caliber and component in stock by the cases that Midway, Powder Valley, etc., can't get in stock at all and of course, don't take credit cards. I've seen some that look like scams that take PayPal, but most of these will likely go to a PP address that can't be traced and by the time you try to get a refund for ammo from PayPal (which will never happen), the money will be long gone. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. [/QUOTE]
