Ammo scams on IG
« on: February 21, 2021, 10:59:08 AM »
IG somehow linked me to this guy who said he can ship nationwide. I asked if Hawai’i was included, and he confirmed.

Pricing was great so I started to discuss a purchase. I asked that he send me his FFL since his bio said he held one. He send a FFL for a legit business. I contacted them on IG to confirm his affiliation. They responded that it was a scam.

So just be aware and do your double checks before sending money

Yeah I've gotten a couple of these myself.

Showing the prices of $249 for a case of 9mm kinda tipped it off

Easy for us in Hawaii to spot a scam.

Edit: Assuming we know how much work is involved to ship ammo here.

I sent mine via Western Union and I put the rest on Green Dot cards and gave the seller all the card info. I wonder why they are no longer answering my emails?

Don't give any ideas. $100 is better than $15,000.
