I inquired with customer service at starline brass about some brass that showed in stock on one website and out of stock on another. very similar name response below: 

"Unfortunately, Starline Brass USA is a Scam website, and are in no way affiliated with our company.  There is a website you can check that is trying to track the scam websites, it is www.stopgunscams.com.   The 45-70 Gov’t is out of stock at this time.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

 

Thank you,

Sherry

Customer Service"

Reloadingbrassusa.com - Non Delivery Scam

Fake gun and ammunition scammers are posing as online retail storefronts and aiming to steal your cash and personal information with too-good-to-be-true ammo deals and offers. Scammers will ask for payment by insecure means such as Paypal (Friends and Family), Zelle, CashApp or even Bitcoin. They will refuse secure methods of payment such as cash in person or GunTab.com

GunScams.com aims to disrupt these scammers by exposing their fake websites online so that you can learn to avoid them.

Non Delivery Scams like Reloadingbrassusa.com follow a simple format which allows the criminal to steal money from their victims in multiple ways.
The criminals will first create a website or online page from which they will "sell" their goods. They will often offer weapons for sale on gun forums.
The scammer will then introduce you to the secondary "shipping" website which will have been created by the scammer. These websites can be very professional and will allow you to log in to see your item being shipped.
The scammer can then charge you for multiple other items such as made up import permits, police fees, etc.

Thanks Wes.

I googled the address of a too good to be true site and it turned out to be an empty lot.
