For USPS you can create an account and get daily emails of the mail that is coming to your house. I found that it does not always come the same day but this would help track things and catch a forwarding scam early.Forwarding Scams
Word of caution. Be sure to create an account for every major shipping company online before someone else does. One method of confirmation is for the shipping company to snail mail you a pin number to confirm your account. If this pin number is created and intercepted by someone else they can forward packages to another address. As a seller on ebay one of my buyers had their package intercepted and forwarded to PA. Apparently this has been going on for a few years in connection to Philadelphia. If you see any of your packages being forwarded get in touch with your carrier immediately.

They only allow payment in Bitcoin...MAJOR RED FLAG. Guaranteed scam site. Stay away. Poor grammar in the text as well--another tipoff.Anyone have any experience with “alphex” firearms? They claim to have primers but. looks fishy.
Sounds like a scam to me.So I just won a GB auction this morning. I’m generally a very suspicious person, so I wanted some feedback from the group before sending my money.
Shortly after winning, I start getting texts requesting payment. The area code is out of a different state than the item location listed on GB and the mailing address for payment is a different state than either the phone number or item location. I start looking through closed auctions on GB and find the exact same photos of the item I won with an auction end date of 12/03 (three days ago) out of yet another state and listed by a different seller. Both sellers have very limited feedback (2 or 3 ratings) they aren’t FFL’s and they’ll only take a money order. I asked the seller to send me a close-up photo of the item serial number, and they send me a photo from the listing which has an unreadable serial number.
Do these sound like reasons to be suspicious, or am I being paranoid?
Definitely a SCAM operation.Well, the About US page on First Crown has exactly the same suspicious payment information:
Yes, it's www.aeammo.com. I don't think I'll be buying from them. It at first seemed legitimate because most of their products seemed to be priced in line with the rest of the market, with the exception of some cheap Norma Whitetail .308 ammo that was on sale. The Norma stuff is what pulled me in.Hi @Scout21 is that domain aeammo? Well that site is only 7 months old and has domain privacy on. And I have been researching scam firearm sites and think they are now making forms that take credit cards because we all have been saying don't trust zelle, venmo cryto for 2 years. I would not touch that.
https://tactical-nation.net/ smells funny to me. First thing that popped up was 50 count of 35Rem brass is $11. Then says $100 is a minimum order. Lots of spelling mistakes just further sinches the smell bad test.
