What is with all the scam sites for reloading components?

I stand advised! Never heard of "Friends and Family" and didn't know PP was anti-gun.
not only are they anti gun, if you get caught buying any restricted items (guns,drugs,etc.) they will cancel your account and keep any balance you had with them. Same with Venmo that they own I understand.

You would do the same if someone sent your their wife.
Brad that would depend on how well the wife they sent me can cast Lee 6 cavity 160 gn bullets for my AK and how many primers she brought with her!!

Fiver would still send her back. He has a strict policy regarding that.

pretty picky about only a few things.
bullets and food are pretty much the two at the top.

I was to receive a large sum once for a fee .
" Hey that sounds great you being the lawyer and all handling this you have my permission to take all the fees out and go ahead and take another $10,000 for your time and trouble ."
" Sir , you're very generous , but you know it doesn't work like that ."

Best day ever with a spam scammer . I never did get a dime of that . :)

At the casting bench in the sky. RIP Bret.
You're also the last living heir to Prince Numudie's 10 million fortune, just send your bank info for a wire transfer.
There was a just a news blurb locally about some poor widder woman who was scammed out of a significant amount of $$$ via some "Nigerian Prince". It never ends!

i was receiving the radio station from down in Utah 4 out of every 5 minutes today.
the sheriffs office had a PSA come on warning people about the send us some gift cards to stay out of jail scam.
that has been going around for 10+ years now, and apparently makes enough cash for it to still be a viable source of income for someone.

BTW the sheriffs office doesn't take wal-mart gift cards, or credit cards over the phone for anything you gotta go to court for.

Was it here or another board that somebody brought up a Christianson Arms site that looked very real (I looked at it and it did) that was 100% scam?

I have run across a few on-line retailers of firearms, phone never picks up, stupid low prices, form of payment was only vemo, bitcoin, or whatever "funny money" as I call it, etc. No CC even with a surcharge. Send us the payment and FFL from your local dealer, ;) ;).
