Frequently Asked Questions

What are common signs of a fake online gun store like the CZ Firearms Store?

Fake gun stores often use stolen logos, display only partial product images, offer unrealistically low prices, and demand payment via Zelle or cryptocurrency. They may also have unnatural phrasing and limited contact options.

How can I verify if an online firearm seller is legitimate?

Always compare the website's product images and pricing with the official manufacturer's website. Legitimate retailers provide full product photos and competitive, but not suspiciously low, prices. Check for clear contact information and professional communication.

Why should I avoid paying for firearms with Zelle or cryptocurrency on online stores?

Zelle and cryptocurrency payments are difficult to trace and often irreversible. Scammers use these methods because they prevent buyers from recovering their money if they are defrauded, unlike credit card payments which offer buyer protection.

What is CZ USA doing about fake online stores using their brand?

CZ USA is aware of fraudulent websites using their name and logo. They have stated that their legal team is actively working to have these fake sites taken down, as confirmed by the presenter in the video.
