ammunitiongunbroker
Anyone purchased ammo for here....
https://ammunitiongunbroker.com As I was checking out, it got very fishy with a request for payment through Zelle to a personal email address. ..........

Most likely a scam.

There is an address... but also disturbing they use Gmail.....
+1 2034240121 54 Maplewood Ave, CT , USA [email protected] or [email protected] Just makes a guy nervous to send 'em $400. They are also suspect when they show they abound in ammo that is not available through big companies.... How do they have 100's or 1000's or rounds of 6.5 PRC, when the big companies have nothing? Guess I need to stay away from them. ........

any time someone requests a "non traditional" payment method, that's a big red flag for me.
Even if legit, if they won't / can't take the standard credit cards do you really want to do business with them?? Maybe they DO have thousands of rounds no one else can get, but maybe they're in the same group as "Publisher's Clearing House" calling me from Jamacia telling me how I've won millions and a brand new Mercedes with 99% of the taxes paid...and all I have to do is go to Walmart and get a couple of $500 gift cards........ ![]() I'd steer clear of them, suggest you do to.

if they don't take traditionl payment methods its NO-GO for me.
Also, if you look up the address on google maps, it come back to a house/residence in a neighborhood.... not a business... so there is that.

I agree with posts above. Traditional methods have been around for as long as they have for a reason. Just the name sounds fishy enough to me.
“Ammunition Gun Broker”? Knowing full well I can buy ammo ON gun broker?? No thanks, I’ll pass. Plus those alternative payment methods are notoriously anti-2A, as has been pointed out in a few posts on this forum in various other threads. PayPal is as commie as they come, even so far as requiring us free folks to disguise our purchases through their as “Family and Friends” to avoid the bile they spew. Zelle, while an ok way to send money to friends and family similar to Venmo, still doesn’t give the buyer an awful lot of protections if things go south. |

I tried to buy 44-40WCF ammunition from these people. The worst experience I have ever had pruchasing anything online. Order was placed on 22 January and I still don't have it.Ammunitiongunbrokers decided to ship with a company cald Rooftop Logistics. I won't go into details, but neither of these companies should be allowed to do business in the US. If you want details, email me and I will let you know everything that transpired. Anway, I am a sucker and right now I am out $1900 for ammo I have never received. Stay far away from these people.

This sounds a lot like someone who doesn't speak English using Google Translate.

ANY website that is legit WILL accept credit cards. If not, run away it is a scam
On another site, someone posted a link to a supposed Browning dealer. This site looks SO legit; very well done; until you get to payment methods and your choices were Zelle, Venmo and Bitcoin. All three give you ZERO protection from fraud

Seriously..............who in their right mind would not know "ammunitiongunbroker" wasn't a scam website within thirty seconds?
I'll highlight some of the suspicious text from their home page: Quote:
Who writes like that? Who isn't in the USA? Who isn't a legit website? And on their Terms and Conditions page you can see they forgot to edit the company they copy/pasted from https://ammunitiongunbroker.com/terms-condition/

The quickest way to determine how fake these ammo website are, if the bad payment methods are not immediately obvious, is to go to their "About" page.
Over 95% of them are ripping text from the same website. When you see this on an ammo website that you don't recognize: Quote:
That text is fairly unique. You can do an internet search for it. It is ripped from the well known Ammo.com.
