Fake/Scam websites

[Kilmouski]

As I look at different airgun options there certainly seems to be a number of fake, or scam, websites aimed at stealing money from people who buy airguns, and their accessories.

Maybe a sticky thread that listed these fake/scam websites all in one place would be helpful to new members (perhaps all members)? (Note, if such a thread exists, I certainly missed it.)

Try buying an old car !!!

There's at LEAST 30 garbage sales sites to every single real site. Yeah, that many.
You get all worked up looking at cars that you THINK are available, only to do more digging to find out they were sold months or even years...ago !
I only go to two or three sites now. Looking for a mid 1930's or 40's car, with little luck.

This is a comprehensive scam list. Certainly not airgun focused but there are a lot of the usual suspects. https://www.reddit.com/r/gundeals/wiki/blacklisted_websites/

Has anyone had any dealings with airguntitans.com ? Is it a legit website?

If i were a scam site I would have an account or 3 here. That way when questions are asked about RatzGunFun.com I could sing its praises.

There are several scam evaluation sites like ScamAdviser.com where you can enter the address and they will give you a report as to whether a site is a scam.

She and he tried to scam me by the most elaborate means. Over two weeks of Gmail chats,I checked her out, and everything checked out,but if it is too good to be true,it isn't true. They even had real websites,with phone numbers you could call up,But never answered and always "please leave your number we will get back to you as soone as possible".
What I am saying is= use your intelligence and rememeber these people may be more intelligent and have more experience than you .
