Scam or legit??

[Ray B]

Searching for Reloder 15- virtually everyone is out of stock- EXCEPT a place called All Powders in Sacramento, CA. their website lists several powders otherwise unavailable AND at very reasonable prices. Since it seemed too good I check the various scam locator sites and the best I could find was that the site was suspicious but short of claiming it a scam. Has anyone dealt with this company?

I can't even find a site like that using various search methods. There's no RL15 to be had right now, so best bet is to find an alternative or to wait.

 

[Ray B]

Their site is: Allpowdershop.com Address: 482 Dos Rios St. Sacramento, CA 95811. Checking Maps- this is what appears to be an office building with no signs. so???

Probably a scam.

A good way to tell is to see if they accept credit cards. Credit card purchases can be contested.

But as a general rule, if it seems too good to be true, dont trust it.

Total scam site. They show TRAILBOSS available in 9oz and 2lb quantity which is not standard at all. Not to mention, Trailboss isn't available anywhere. RL15 they show as 1 and 5 pound quantity which is not standard. Sites like this prey on folks desperate for something that isn't available. Avoid.

PS... they even show 5744 available, which is a total joke! Can't be a real site.

How to buy instructions screams scam. If you can’t buy directly on a credit card just assume scam.

Very little buyer protection with DEBIT cards.

E payments are the number one red flag but credit card payments are no guarantee it's not a scam.

Bob found all that is needed to sink this scammer.

Google Street View is your friend.

Mixed income apartments that have not been around long.
Street view has pictures of the:
empty lot,
the partial construction,
and the final product.

If it’s fraud with a credit card you can report it and get your money back. Maybe not a guarantee it isn’t fraud, but much less likely to occur with credit card.

IMO not worth the risk!
I got burned earlier this year on buying some ammunition from three river ammo
Got my payment and ghosted afterwards, UPS investigated and found it was a scam.
When in doubt back out ! Some deals are just too good to be true
They said it was shipped to the wrong address and payment was cleared then ghosting started, PayPal doesn’t cover sports equipment like ammunition and knives.

It pops up from time to time. The myth it is discontinued is just a myth.

It is possibly not a scam.

Powder Valley or Precision Reloading had it for sale in the last 30 days.

Has a bad vibe to it .

If there are people trying to scam members in the classified ads, I can I imagine these same type of scheisters are out there trying to take advantage of the reloading component shortage.

If a website prefers crypto, bank transfer, or has to send you a separate payment link outside of their site you should avoid at all costs
