      If you run Google maps, search on all of the addresses provided for these places, some of them are open lots or just houses in residential areas.

        If anyone would take the time to read they would find these gems:

        "While we serve you to make a decision to shop for a gun/ammo online – we advice that regulations vary among states , intrinsically checking together with your local laws is sweet . We have a good variety of: machine guns, shotguns, airsoft and air guns, ammo, handguns, knives and swords, rifles, and more. Place your order, and provides us the chance to advice or serve you during a way that suits your legal wants. "

          Thank you for posting this as a public service announcement type thing.
          Yes, a lot of people already know about these scammers but not everyone does.

          The more we all get the word out to everyone the better it is for our community and the trustworthy businesses that provide goods to us all.

                That guy is a well known and documented fraudster. I am pretty sure if you tried to actually use a VISA there the charge would not process. IIRC there are lots of posts about it on forums far and wide.

                His ability to actually process a credit card payment ceased long ago, he just has not been able or willing to update the website to reflect that. It is sort of hard to be a good webmaster when most of your time is spent getting arrested.

                  I wonder why these scammers aren't shut down. Who can you report them to?

                    I see it now. If DoJ don't give a fck about FFLs breaking laws on DROS fees and such with no consequence, what makes one think that anyone is planning to shut down these scam ammo sites.

                    The end user, us gunowners, being screwed out of money is no care for the left gov. entities, LE/ATF/DoJ.

                    Now FCC might care, but current leadership of FCC says naw, they in bed with the liberals and the left.

                          The "gunner..." site is ?? google street shows a porsche, M. Benz and an Audi in from of what looks like a boarded up corner liquor store. His gallery shows him with his finger on the trigger of an AR? And he looks to be related to some of the 9.11 hijackers JMHO
                          Thanks for the heads up

                            I guess every dog has their day, but I've been close to being scammed and that taught me how to not get scammed in the future.
