    Sketchy emails from "Firearm Upgrades" ATF fishing ?

    Received 2 emails this morning from "Firearm Upgrades". First was enter for a free 1911 giveaway, which I did and didn't think much of it. Immediately received a second email with "cool trick to get silencer on Amazon" in the subject line. Super sketch and appears to be an ATF fishing email. Anybody else seen these ? The address on the web site ,1619 Bypass Rd, Winchester, KY, 40391 is a UPS store in Winchester Ky.
    Someone please confirm I'm not just paranoid.

    karma ?
    The blessings I experience every day are far better than the wrath I deserve.
    Thankfully, there is no such thing as karma.
    Proof being that if it did exist we would all most assuredly be dead

    Sounds pretty suspicious. It could be a scammer trying to steal your information also.

      You're paranoid. My Amazon suppressor arrived in pretty good condition. I paid for it with a credit card that my long lost relative, a Nigerian prince, sent me recently. It's all completely legit...

        My email auto sends them to the SPAM folder - I'll see the title and anything with you won a free something or enter to win a free something gets deleted. No one gives stuff away for free. No one.

          How much information did you give them? Maybe keep a good eye on your credit report for 6 months or so?
