I tried to order some ammo from these guys and they wont accept credit cards (Paypal or some other unfamiliar method). They didn't return my call or email, but texted me in a strange, unprofessional way. If they are legit, I'd like to use them but at this point I'm afraid they're an online scam.

Some of the red flags listed in this article seem to apply to Hunters Ammo Shop. Anybody on this forum used them before?

Won't accept credit card = scam

They list an address in Trophy Club on the contact page.

On the payment option for Paypal, the verbage is:

"Your Order is on processing and waiting for it to be paid. Please kindly contact us on our email so we can sent you our Paypal details so you do the payment."

If you can read it in an Indian 7-11 clerks voice, it's totally a scam. No US legit ecommerce site uses "kindly" in their prose. (Half joking...) Also accepting Zelle as the primary payment is a BIG red flag.

Since the physical address is the same as https://k5arms.com/ , perhaps call k5arms. They might be setting up a new venture and don't have cc processing set up yet or would be interested that someone is masquerading as them.

K-5 Arms Exchange according to Google Street View.

Don't overthink it. It's a scam.

OK, well let this thread be a warning to other Texags ammo buyers. They claimed to have the hard-to-find ammo I was searching for when nobody else did. Guess that's another red flag in itself.

Google it with "scam" attached. That hasn't failed me yet. If the price or available quantity is too good to be true, it is too good to be true. And Zelle only means you will never be able to seek refund
