Heads up to all, both of these websites are confirmed scams. I am sure there are many others out there.

p80.site

p80.site p80.site

Home - Empire Ammo Shop

SHOP NOWSHOP NOWSHOP NOWSHOP NOW In addition to a store full of thousands of guns, we also sell online. We run almost all unique consignments on gunbroker.com. There are no fees associated with purchasing on gunbroker.com all you have to do is setup an account with an email address, valid...
empiregunsshop.com
 
Browsing around the first one, the poor grammar / awkward syntax is a red flag.
 
Their address comes back to a vacant lot, sadly, I have seen a few people now that have placed orders.
 
What about the website :
buypolymer80.com

Is it a scam or legit?

The reason I ask, they have a LOT of almost every imaginable P80 frame you can think of,,, lol
That with the fact that almost "ANY" P80 frame is hard to find and $$$ makes their site stand out.....

There is NO address or phone number also,,,,,,

I don't even need to go look. Based on what you've said here.... scam. Don't touch it. Even the domain name would be a trademark violation.

easiest way ever to out a scam site look at payment options
If they do not accept VISA, they are a scam
Zelle, Vemo, Cash App, etc as the only options means scam 99.9% of the time
More important is they do not accept credit cards that offer purchase protection

This is a scam site 100%
 
To the best of my knowledge the only place with basically everything Polymer 80 in stock is Indieguns, and that's because he bought so much stock and his prices are so high so it moves slow.
 
hotrichchicks4u.com is probably fake too.

I found it while searching for a deaf dumb and blind nymphomaniac whose father owns a liquor store.

I bought some frame pins from them back in 2021 with no issues. But I just went to their website and saw this.

To all Federal, State, and Local Government: Please stop! We do not accept credit cards and we do not keep records which evidence sales of 80% frames, receivers, or gun parts. Therefore, we cannot respond to warrants, subpoenas, court orders, demands or requests for customer data. Thanks for your attention in this matter.

Very strange (or at least interesting!) and also a red flag for customers??? Or not?? And if the "known informants" is true... should I (and many of us) be expecting a knock on the door???

This is bullshit. Ravings of a wing nut. My guess is he is financially insolvent and cant take credit cards. Or avoiding taxation.

"Full stop". :rolleyes:

Banks tracking individual's firearm related purchases? Yea sure. And human head transplants are about to become a thing. I love the interwebs. It's like British tabloids before social media appeared. Compulsive consumption of the most outrageous bullshit stories. I suspect this satiates some deep down delusions of persecution. This vendor is a wack job. I suggest buying elsewhere.

Banks and retailers all track what people are buying and have been for decades. That's business, which is all about money. Retailers, market research firms, industry associations and others buy that data to figure out what to sell and to whom. It's the science of merchandising. There is not one fucking person or company on this planet who is scouring trillions of retail sales transactions looking for some guy buying magazines or ammo. That is so ridiculous I can hardly believe anyone who isn't certifiably paranoid or clueless about how backwards the banking industry is with technology that actually believes this guy's nonsense.

Yet the same people who buy into these stories spend a portion of their day Googling for the best deals, articles, reviews, training, etc. Yet they think nothing of what Google is doing with that data. Or they communicate with free email that the provider scans for keywords that help them profile people. Companies like Google, Microsoft, many others... you are their product. Not their customer.

So worrying that Visa or Mastercard is dropping a dime to the Atee Eff, Eff Bee Eye, or See Eye Ay about your buying habits? "Better watch this guy. He's buying mags!" Good grief. I suggest counseling and Prozac. Now, agencies could be buying the data to determine trends, but looking at individuals, especially down to the transactions level is utter madness. It's not happening.

If that's true, I'm fucked! LOL! I've bought so much "gun shit" over the last several years, there must be a marquis with my name in lights at the alphabet agency offices and one of those old school red revolving lights / sirens going off.

I'll come visit you in prison. I'll bring a pound cake for you to share with your fellow inmates. I hope they are nice. :)

The vendor dude... what an ass hat. If he's not keeping sales records, he's going to jail. It wont be about firearms. It will be the state and federal tax people who lock him up for tax evasion. He will get audited sooner or later. Guaranteed. State tax people are relentless.

When I hear drama queens say "Full Stop" at the end of sentence I want to punch them in the face.

I have personally ordered from here and the owner is a good guy. Sends multiple videos throughout the process, him packing/shipping orders, going to the post office, etc. I paid through Zelle and had my stuff the next day (shipped early enough in the day to go next day)

He also sent me some pictures of his stock. Dude has entire storage units full of entire crates directly from P80 of every model/color

As for the known informants part, those are sellers that turned over customer information to I think it was the ATF, when they asked for it and weren't required to hand it over. No warrant or court order, just a request.

What evidence is that based on? How would this dude know who was giving information to the Ay Tee Eff? He has a mole inside the agency?

I call bullshit. Full stop.
