Description

This website, kentucky-gunshop.com is a fraudulent website but at first glance appears to be legitimate. It typically pretends to have guns for sale that are either cheap or unavailable elsewhere. They also try to appear legit by asking for a dealer name and address where the gun would be shipped to. The payment method option presented at checkout is via Zelle or credit card. However, once the credit card information and personal information was entered in the checkout and submitted, they then sent an email that said: " unfortunately your credit card was deleted automatically because our system has been attacked. All customers now pay via Zelle". They then requested to send a Zelle payment to Shanquille Faulkner and to email [email protected]. They sent a total of 3 emails from email address [email protected] trying to get a Zelle payment. Each email was signed by "Claudia". (Feb 2023)
