Another giveaway is that they won't use PayPal's api. You'd think if one could make such a nice, smooth, full featured storefront website they could figure out how to integrate payment.

You are spot on, they have been around since the shortages following the pandemic started. If they don't take payment by a credit card, don't walk away......RUN. The other obvious sign is they have products in stock other legitimate sites don't and often with a better price to lure the naive and those who believe they struck gold and found something others don't know about. Stick with long established companies that existed before the pandemic that we have dealt with before and as Koneski says buy it from them when you see they have it. Don't buy what you need right now, buy what you will need in a few more years. Sites like Shootingbot.com are your friend, but again make sure the distributor who has what you are looking for takes CC's and it's a well established name.
