Contacted by ATF b/c fax server is down

[mk2dave]

FYI, I received a phone call and this email. I only have a FFL03 for C&R, so not exactly sure why I was included in the blast. Im posting this in case others need to know:

ATTENTION ALL FEDERAL FIREARMS LICENSEES:



The ATF National Tracing Center is currently experiencing technical difficulties related to Fax #800-578-7223 and Fax #877-283-0288 and is unable to accept documents on these lines at this time. In lieu of faxing, please submit the following documents via e-mail:

Report of Multiple Sale or Other Disposition of Pistols and Revolvers (ATF Form 3310.4): Please e-mail these forms to: multiplehandgunsalesforms@atf.gov.
Report of Multiple Sale or Other Disposition of Certain Rifles (ATF Form 3310.12): Please e-mail these forms to: multiplelonggunsalesforms@atf.gov.
Demand 2 Reports (Used Gun Reports): Please e-mail these reports to: usedgunreports@atf.gov.
All other miscellaneous documents can be e-mailed to: ntcsecurefaxroom@atf.gov.
Thank you for patience regarding this matter. Once the fax server outage has been resolved, you will be notified in a similar manner. FFLs are strongly encouraged to submit these reports to ATF via email as opposed to fax and it is also recommended that a copy of these emails be maintained as proof of transmission.

Received the phone call and email also. Just a FFL03 also…

Same here.

I thought it was a scam/spam call because the caller ID said “Washington DC”. And the voicemail they left was extremely robotic. But then I got the email and figured it was legit.

19k, I went through the same thought process.

Hopefully, everyone that needs to know is aware.
