Too good to be true?
Check out the website "federalprimers.com" and please share your thoughts.

Just glancing through the website, whoever wrote it doesn’t speak English as a first language. I could be wrong, but I’d steer clear of this one.

We have a hard enough time keeping this site free from predatory criminals. We cant police the internet.
What do you think about federalprimers..com? Their web domain was created on September 19th, 2021. They list no street address.
The real Federal website is: Federal Ammunition
(federal premium<dot>com)
Click here: Scam Detector - federalprimners.com
Edit to add:
The devil is in the details. They copied the real Federal header, but their category links overlap the header.
Real site:
Fraudulent site:

There is a contact phone number, give them a call and see if they sound real. Load a cart and try to checkout, if they don't take a normal CC then it's a scam for sure. Looks fishy at least, when you check the details for shipping, they specify they send in a plain brown wrapper, which would be illegal in the US and also that they ship internationally, which is a neat trick with ITAR regs.

Would those be small refile, or large refile primers? 😃😂

Thanks, Everyone, for your thoughts and opinions. The site looked fishy to me as well.

Who in their right mind would want a refile primer? If the primer wasn't right the first time, do you really think making it a refile will make it better? 
Seriously, this ranks right up there with that phone call I have received a few times. "You social security account has been suspend, press 2 for information." Yeah, riiiiiiight.
There are con artists and scammers everywhere these days.
