Has anyone here used Onlineammunitionsupplies.com ? If not please be aware they are a Scam. I went to them from a referral I received and ordered 1000 rounds of ammunition from them. Should have been suspicious when the only form of payment they took was PayPal Friends and Family (No Refunds). Ordered in good faith then cam extra charges which were to be refunded(Yeah right). Promise of next day delivery. Never got my ammo they got my money. Wanted to let everyone know so they don't get scammed as I did. Expensive lesson but one not forgotten.

Well looks like they either changed their name or added another SCAM site. Beware of armoryammoshop.com as well same phone number and address. Don't get scammed as I did,

Seems there are a LOT of gun/ammunition/reloading supplies scams lately. More than I remember ever. If I'm buying on line it's from some reputable company I've already dealt with in the past. The old saying "If a deal sounds to good to be true, it is to good to be true,"

The harder it is to get something, the more scams there will be. Look at how many “get rich quick” scams are out there. The scams will likely continue until ammo and reloading supplies get somewhat back to normal.

What's strange is the amount of ammunition around that I've never heard of. I pass it by. I'm not shooting some unknown crap in my guns.

honorammosho. is another website to be aware of. A friend of mine was looking for some .243 ammo and came across this website, but they only sold everything in 500 round bulk orders. He didn’t want that much so he didn’t order any.

I took a look at the site, and it seemed everything was in stock, red flag #1, then the prices were circa 2019, red flag #2, they even had primers and any powder in stock at 2019 prices, red flag #3, so I looked at the payment options, Zelle, PayPal, Venmo, or bitcoin, Red Flag #4, phone number started with a +1, no American companies list their phone numbers like that, Red Flag #5, then to top it off, the address they listed in Colorado, when I looked it up on google maps, it came up with a run down trashy business listed as “Zombie Electronics “, not a gun range as they described. Red Flag #6.

Needless to say this site is a scam, and I told my friend to steer clear of it. Got to do your homework these days.

Awhile back there was one of our many discussions about the shortage of reloading supplies. A new member popped into that thread and mentioned a site called Reload Unlimited. (Not ReloadING Unlimited. Different site.) There was some debate on whether the site was a scam or not. Especially since they only took Google Pay.

I took a shot anyway and ordered 1,000 Winchester SPPs. With shipping and hazmat, the order was just under $62.00. As of today, the website is gone and Google Pay is no longer active. (You have to download Google’s new payment app.)

So, Yup.... It was a scam. I sent them an email telling them what I would like Satan to do to their anal cavities as they burn in Hell. Whether they ever get it or not, or even care, is up for debate.

BEWARE ammosalespoint as well,

AMMOSALESPOINT SCAM, they will only use paypal close friends to cover their tracks. I used their chat line, that allowed me to keep a copy of the transaction, over $2000.00, BURN...reported to FDIC, and my bank is now going after them. I chose to use a visa just for this purpose. Paypal will not give your money back if you use friends and family especially for gun related products. BEWARE!!!

PLEASE SPREAD FAR AND WIDE AMMOSALESPOINT IS A SCAM!!!
