Please be aware there are thousands of scam websites pretending to sell firearms, ammunition, parts, and accessories. If you are looking to make a firearm retail purchase from a website and have never used them, looks for red flags.
- Poor grammar and spelling mistakes or pages that are not completed or have generic placeholder text.
- All firearms must ship to a Federal Firearms License holder when purchased from a retail store. If the site does not ask for FFL information, that is a red flag!
- Spoof sites – many scammers copy legitimate websites but change the domain name slightly.
- Sketchy contact information or a fake address. Google map their address. If it shows as an abandoned building or a mail forwarding service, save your money.
