I used one of my random email addresses to try to buy years ago.
GunBroker wanted my DL. No way. This was years ago. I’m not sending my DL information to a bunch of people over the internet.
It all has to go FFL to FFL with a 4473 anyways.
So when I buy I go elsewhere. Not much I’m going to buy anyways from now on. I have pretty much what I want.
Maybe one or two more.
Authorities: “Guns are bad. If you get scammed trying to buy them, you deserve it because you are obviously a right-wing extremist and domestic terrorist.” /s
Good to know. Thx!
They also do ammo sales. Almost got me recently
If bitcoin or other crypto is in the checkout, but not a credit card, “run, Forrest, run!”. Sure sign of a scam.
I heard Viktor Bout is back in business, but I’m not sure if his web site is up and running yet.
The same holds true if they’re offering ammunition or reloading components (like primers) at prices too good to be true, or simply have them in stock when everybody else is out.
Your best bet for firearm purchases is your locally owned small gun shop. A small “mom and pop” operation will provide a decent selection at reasonable prices and if you frequent them repeatedly they will remember the types of guns and ammo you are interested in and even call you if they get in a shipment they think you may want to stop by and take a look at. At times when ammo shortages were at their worst, we could count on our local shop to stick back a box or two of those which they knew we would want to buy.
I talked with a fraud specialist at Amex. She said they have relatively few problems with internet sites. Most of the issues they have is from wait persons in restaurants and sales people in stores copying information from credit cards and trying to mail order stuff. She said anytime your card is out of your possession is when card holders start having problems.
I am more worried about the government putting up fake gun sites so they can create databases of gun owners, people making “ghost” guns, etc.
I ran into one of these a while back when I was looking for a gun that no legitimate dealer had in stock. Since I have an IQ slightly above 90 I figured it out pretty quickly. When they had every popular and hard to find gun listed as in stock at market prices it was obviously a fake website.

To make sure it is a legit FFL, ask for the first three numbers of their FFL and last five numbers. You can check on the ATF’S website to make sure it is legit.
