Found a site listing CCI Primers with what appears to be the "real" CCI logo.

Has anyone ordered from this company and is it legit?

In this day of copy cat websites one can't be too careful.

Link to Site

CCI Primers For Sale - Available In Stock - CCI Primers Store

Thanks

In this day of internet crime, I'd stick with companies that have a long history of reliability. Primers are starting to become available and the prices have come down somewhat, but you have to shop around.

Something doesn't look right to me. Way too little information on the site..Stay with the known entities as stated above. Brownell's, Midway etc.

s&wchad · Dec 6, 2022

The website you linked to is a FRAUD...
Their internet address is cci-primers<dot>com

The real CCI site is cci-ammunition<dot>com and they don't sell primers online.

Here's the only contact info from the fraud site:

I would look for them locally, they are starting to show up regularly now. Not sure how bad you need them, but on-line with haz fees they get real pricey even at 89.00 per thousand which seems to be about the price they are running now.

Good luck in your search.

If midway usa or Brownells has them go there. Brownells shows in stock cci lg pistol or small pistol for $96.00/brick. Midway shows currently unavailable, notify me for cci primers. Odd outfits [that I’ve never heard of] that show a complete listing of unobtainable products in 2022 that no one else has set off my spidey senses. Too good to be true.

Just for giggles I put a brick of LRP in my online "cart" and went to checkout. The only payment options are Zelle and Bitcoin. In other words, CASH. Meaning that you have NO recourse when they take your money and don't ship you anything.
SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM! RUN AWAY!!!

I edited this thread title to warn others...

A little research goes a long way!

SCAM SCAM SCAM, oh yeah, and did I mention SCAM!!!

All the information you need is already posted above. The biggest clue is when a site won't accept CC or Debit payments but only peer to peer direct payment options. Zelle, Apple Pay and the others are immediate transfers with no recourse if you are scammed unlike CC payments where the CC company can withhold payment.

Thanks to all who responded, especially moderator s&wchad.
I thought the site looked too good to be true and never registered or placed an order.

You're welcome!

Scammers have been creating addresses that appear to be legitimate and copying the content for some time now. Scumbags...

Here's a link to CCI's actual site and some screenshots. Note that the contact information is what you would expect from a reputable established manufacturer, not just an email address.

CCI Ammunition

I had found the "real" CCI site indicating the primers were not available online. That's part of what clued me on the scam site.
Again, thanks for the assist.

There is a guy in Ohio that is definitely not a fraud. He wants $17 per hundred + hazmat shipping. Minimum 500. I think some of these people live in La-La land. Last show quite a few at $80 brick.

Until things hopefully change, I assume anywhere that has LRM’s available for more than 6 hours is fraud.

There's loads of these scammers now spoofing the names of reputable companies to take advantage of the unwary. Check out the website GunTab – Firearm scam websites
Currently there are 8 fake Midways and 10 CCIs. 10 with primer in their URL.

Thanks for sharing that list/url - there are actually 13 sites on there with "CCI" in their name - none of which are legit.
That looks like a good reference site to check out the "too good to be true" offers that are hitting our inboxes every day.
When you identify one, report it as junk or spam or phishing in Outlook (assuming you use Outlook for email).
If enough people report them, Microsoft will automatically add them to their junk mail filter and fewer users of Outlook will even see the scammer messages. Fewer people seeing their garbage = fewer victims of their scams = fewer of them trying to scam people.
If you don't know how to report them, drop me a line, I'll be happy to share the info with you.
