Tiger 6 I have gone back on the website looked at the contact information again and it’s now showing the email you listed. So I looked at the returns policy, it again displays the email you listed

Seems perfectly normal for a scam.

That might just be because it is a UK website, and GDPR requires them to filter any personal information out of the search result?

Thank you to all that have responded.
Consensus is that it really is too good to be true.

Those sites are everywhere now and getting slicker as time goes on with stolen website images and descriptions, but it's the "administrative" section that gives the game away. Check the about us/contact us/shipping policy/return policy/who we are tabs and the weirdness begins. Got a question about your return? Contact Hottyboy_69@hotmail.com...

Lately, they're even flogging name brand stuff like Hornady ammunition, Vortex and Swarovski optics, and Fjallraven and Patagonia clothing--all at clearout pricing!

Yes. My Spidey sense is at the three t's, top tier tingling.
Some of these scanners have been known to send out a tiny extremely poor quality toy tank. To really add insult to injury.
Please avoid these types of scammer.
If it looks too good to be true, it usually is.

Hate these guys. Put them in front of a 50 CAL and pull the trigger. That would put some injury into the mix. John.
