Watch it out there- There are some super slick scam sites for Federal Ammo and possibly others with year end sale pricing that is attractive but not so low that it raises suspicion. Works just like the regular site with drop-downs, changes in stocking levels, checkout, etc. Don't trust any links from emails, social media, etc. regarding year end sales. Federal has marked the top of their home page with a banner regarding this issue. The dirtbags are upping their game.

Must say it looked pretty ok until I saw the blurb at the bottom. Seems English is not first language, but the email address is laughable

I've seen these sites crop up more and more in recent years. Mostly tech scams and laptops/smartphones priced too good to be true. The shitty serif font they choose is always a dead giveaway.
 
Found a link in my email that totally looked like it was from AmmoASAP.
Regonized the fraud quickly when pistol ammo was 6.99 a box and rifle ammo was 7.99 a box for 50 count boxes.
Looked completly legit tho.
I was pretty impressed lol

What I saw looked like a clone of the Federal site. Font, graphics, drop-down and other features, pretty much everything.
 
I just saw the ad on facebook. The ad looks legit but the site looks a little cheesy. Same @serviceshop.xyz email address that Gay4HK posted.
 
Palmetto state armory just popped up on a FB ad, 5.56 for $4.99/box and other ridiculous prices for other calibers. Looking at the header, there's a dozen Chinese symbols.

On another ad....they just can't seem to get it 100% right. Lol Screenshot_20250105-170527_Chrome.jpg
 
I found a scam site representing Sig,, they seemed to have copied a bunch of Sigs pages and snuck in a "sales" page. I called Sig and gave them the web page address but they didn't seem to concerned. www.Sigsauer-us.com and www.Sigsauer-store.com. They got me for $100 or so, i knew i got had when the payment suddenly shifted to Paypal to a guy named Josh Hodgson . Capitalone refused to stop payment until they paid the scammer,,,, go figure.
