Ammo Scam Sites

Here are four examples of scam websites that were still live within the last few days: federalammunitions.com, shopremingtonammo.com, remingtonammos.com, and winchesterammosales.com.
Ammo scams aren’t the only scams out there. For example, shotmarlinfirearmsusa.com is a scam web site. I seem to be able to pick them out of a crowd and haven’t been taken by any of them yet. But there’s a first time for everything.
Be diligent, and if you get wind of any scam sites, report them in the comments.

Here’s some “tells” or “Red flags” that it’s a scam site, in no particular order.
Everything is in stock, with a seemly endless supply.
Prices are very low, too good to be true, pre-pandemic.
If they have firearms, the don’t ask for a FFL and will “ship” straight to your door.
And the biggest “Red Flag” is that they only have non refundable payments, like Western Union/pre-paid money cards/possibly cryptocurrency. They will not accept regular credit cards at all.
