Is that a legit site? I’ve never heard of them and the webpage looks suspect to me. I’m not looking to buy I was just interested to see what they had and it doesn’t look legit IMO.

Edit to add that I see that I’m not the only one. Yeah that’s a scam. Most of the scam sites that I’ve seen were actually better than that.

There's no question – it's a scam.

Handsguns? Pay with Crypto or Zelle?

Zelle , a name you can trust , LOL smile

Owned by ; Bank of America, Truist, Capital One < they're probably running these scams . I bet they would bend over backwards to help the Barret buyers get their money back .

Here's a test that you can run to determine if a site is legit.


Phone Number: Is there a phone number prominently displayed on their home page. Red Flag if there is not.

Address: Do they have a physical address posted? If not Red Flag. If they do have an address, what does it look like on Google street view or satellite map? Red Flag if it doesn't look like a business.

Inventory: Do they have a lot of hard to find stuff or too good to be true pricing? Red Flag if they do.

Business History: When you Google the business name with the words review and complaint, what do you find? Little footprint or a lot of negative reviews or BBB complaints is a red flag.

Payment Method: Crypto, Venmo, Pay Pal friends and family only? Red Flag.

Site Language: Do you notice language errors or irregularities? Red Flag if there are errors and oddities.

The address in this case is a completely different gun business.
