If online "vendors" have Zelle or PayPal/venmo or crypto only, and no CC, as their payment methods, run away immediately. Just add the item in the cart and go to check out, and right there is where you will see the truth.

Also, legit dealers can easily be checked online. Type in the dealer's name. Plenty of sites that list dealers plus their FFL numbers. Use those and check against the ATF FFL EZ Check system.

Might want to publish the dealers business name because someone may have done business with them and can share their experience. You can also try and google the business name and see what you come up within terms of reviews. Another option is to simply buy from a know reputable online dealer or from your local brick and mortar shop. There are many red flags that help spot scam sites like prices to good to be true.
