Scam alert

Friends, I was looking for 6Br brass today and came across the "Lapua Brass Store"
didn't think to much at first but then it came to pay, well they only take Zelle. Flashing light! Some how I ended up at Accurate Shooter, they've got the alert up!
Heads up guys!

If they don't take credit cards you are guaranteed they are a scam. Zelle, Paypal etc are the scammers favourite tools because you have zero recourse. Even the ones that show they take credit cards can easily be a scam looking to get your card info. Be very careful buying on line from ANY company you don't know and have never heard of before.

Cut there hands off like the Saudis do for stealing and there would be alot less of this crap.

Be aware that some scam websites state that they DO take credit cards and once you send the info they reply back that they can't process the payment at the moment, so please send it via PP, Venmo, or Zelle.

If they take a CC you are fine. If not, don't do it. It really is as simple as that.

That site is a scam.

1. Verify address is not a farm field or residential address
2. Look up BBB
3. No CC WALK FAST NO RUN FAST
4. Search LRH for scam threads
5. Call local LE to see if they heard of it
6. Don't let desperation over ride common sense

I would move #3 to the top of the list. It is a dead giveaway and it is the quickest and easiest way to check.

Use Google Street View as part of the verification. Sometimes what looks a business, turns up something entirely different.
If you insist on going forward, use an IP search, like whois, to see how long their site has been up. Most are within the last 30 days.

If you mean Supremegunshop.com, they are 100% a scam.
Look at their payment methods. All are cash apps. All are the same as sending cash. All leave you no recourse when you don't get the product. All have it in their user agreement that their service can't be used for firearms and related items.
