Look at pay options Yes I saw they don’t take Credit Cards… Certainly a Red Flag… But also an issue getting setup as a retailer in that industry with traditional payment partners I would love to know for sure either way… Maybe I will be the Guinea Pig and make small purchase from them for $10 to vet them out a bit.

Maybe wait a couple weeks and see if the website still exists. btw, the url resolves to a UK company and there is no official IANA. It was also just registered today.

Jfoster99 80 Posted May 1, 2023 The Address they list is for Guns Unlimited USA. It is a physical gun store in Katy, Tx. The ammo prices their are typical. https://gunsunlimitedusa.com/ With the time difference in Tx they open in an hour.. I’ll give them a call to see if they know anything. I agree to wait a few weeks to even vet them for $10.. In Uk is the registration date MM/DD/YYYY or DD/MM/YYY so maybe Jan 5th 2023? I certainly agree with everyone this is 99.9% a scam… I guess I just want to prove it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DirtyDigz 1,811 Posted May 1, 2023 This is a common tactic for scam sites - they "hijack" the physical address of an actual store/FFL. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jfoster99 80 Posted May 1, 2023 So I just got a phone call from California from someone who barely spoke English. I could not tell the accent but perhaps someone from Africa if I had to guess. That would make sense based on the Registrant City. They advised that they must send me the PayPal payment instruction via email.. The $17.00 order ( cheapest I could find) comes with a $30 shipping fee. So $47.00 total. The did not need me to send copies of a Drivers Lic or verify my NJ FPID card, i am to send a Friends and Family payment to [email protected] I am obviously done with them but found it interesting… PAYMENT DETAILS: PAYPAL; email: [email protected] Name: Karla Guajardo NOTE: Pay via "friends and family" and send a screenshot of the transaction after the payment has been made to confirm your payment. Thanks for your understanding. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jfoster99 80 Posted May 1, 2023 Enough playing around with this.. I have to get back to my day job but I just wanted to add The California number that called me belongs to a a California company called Safesti Pharmacy and it looks like they were offering to sell Codeine and Ecstasy online.

DirtyDigz 1,811 Posted May 1, 2023 Reported their paypal account to [email protected]. Maybe paypal will shut down their account, which might inconvenience the scammer for a little bit. 3 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
