They must have thought I not only fell off but hit my head in the process. I was sitting in my recliner with my kindle looking for a deal on shotgun shells, both for the club and our September charity shoot. Up pops a link with real reasonable prices and free shipping. The site indicates that what I need is in stock and they have a bunch of it. So I punch in 50 flats and check what the total would be with tax and if there are any other charges. Nope, no other charges and no tax! Sounds good but there were a few red flags:

The name of the site is the same as a real site but with an s added to the name

No tax charged

Inventory that no one else has

Prices WAY lower than anywhere else

Signing up requires a lot of personal info

And the real kicker - payment only made by Zelle or cryptocurrency.

I contacted the real site and let them know about this one. I guess the moral of the story is if something is to good to be true, you better look twice. I guess I'll just keep on looking because these folks seem a little shady to me. Bob

P.S. They are not on Gunbroker as far as I can tell.
