[QUOTE="brian11, post: 2501941, member: 112031"] That site lists an FFL, which comes back to [TABLE] [TR] [TD][RIGHT][B]License Name[/B]:[/RIGHT][/TD] [TD][LEFT]BLUNT, GARY[/LEFT][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][RIGHT][B]Trade Name[/B]:[/RIGHT][/TD] [TD][LEFT][/LEFT][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][RIGHT][B]Premise Address[/B]:[/RIGHT][/TD] [TD][LEFT][B]4746 E GREASEWOOD AVE APACHE JUNCTION AZ - 85119[/B][/LEFT][/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] The phone number listed includes a +1. Americans don't use the +1 - it's always assumed within US, so that suggests the site is written by someone outside the US and just using some poor sucker's FFL number. The web site says its address is different from what's on the FFL. It's a Federal violation for an FFL holder to conduct any business at any address other than the one on the license, so that's another clue that they hijacked someone's info. That's how these scammers work - they use legitimate people's and businesses' names & addresses so it looks like it's legit. Common techniques in the old "I'll buy what you're selling and send you more than you're asking and you send me the balance" scam. The address listed on the web site is a business park - so any legit address there is going to include a suite number. Also note that the web site URL says it's armtechandarchery and their logo says the business name is Arms Tech Archery Ltd Ltd is a Brit company identifier - we use Co, Company, Inc, LLC, etc The flags go on and on - this is just from briefly looking critically at their home page, without even getting into the whole "we have products no one else does - and cheaper, too" scam clue and the "we only take bogus payment methods with no recourse" scam clue. And then there's this: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.scam-detector.com/validator/armtechandarchery-com-review/[/URL] [TABLE] [TR] [TD][RIGHT][/RIGHT][/TD] [TD][LEFT][/LEFT][/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [/QUOTE]
