Scam sites?

[Pivot Dr]

Been looking for some 8208 XBR powder and a couple sites popped up that seem too good to be real.
One is Midwestreloads in Harlan, Iowa they have like 700 8# jugs of 8208 in stock for like $240 and free shipping. No CC payment just Venmo or similar.
IMRstore is another site that has 8# jugs for $295 but only take Zelle or other similar payments.
Don’t recall which it was but there was a 15% discount for bitcoin and similar.
Both show availability and great prices. Midwestreloads has store hours, phone # etc.
Anybody willing to admit they were scammed, got a great deal from them, or know they are bogus, or real?
p.s. Neither mentioned HAZMAT.

Are people still thinking there’s some chance that’s real? You just made a list of reasons why it’s a ripoff.

Kind of my thought exactly, but…… you know!

Only taking online payments and no credit cards is your first clue it’s a scam site.

No CC payment just Venmo or similar ... only take Zelle or other similar payments.

Definitely red flag.

FYI, there's a sticky on scam sites - https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/scam-reloading-websites.904761/

"Perhaps this lookup tool might be helpful in addition to the listing.......https://www.scam-detector.com/find-scams/"​

If you have verified scam sites, you could PM @Walkalong so they could be added to the stickied thread.
