    At Shot Show 2023, I was informed of an unauthorized domain claiming to be Accuracy International USA.

    There is No Accuracy International USA, they are NOT affiliated with AI or its partners.

    The domain is accuracyinternationalusa.com so please avoid this site at all costs.

    They offer a lot of shady finance options, and Accuracy International Proper has yet to determine if there are any rifles even associated with them. The owner of the domain is listed as Name Silo so no actual company is associated with it.

    Again, this company is cybersquatting on the domain in order to draw you away from the real Accuracy International websites.

    I really hope AI can get the site off'd, but quite frankly if you're stupid enough to fall for Zelle/Crypto only in the shopping cart, you pretty much deserve to lose $10k.
     
    I ran across this website earlier this week. They were offering a 15% if you paid in cryptocurrency and that was a major red flag.

    AI should contact https://www.a2hosting.com/ and let them know they are hosting a scam website.


    NameSilo seem to be US based so should be receptive to being contacted about this as well.
     
    There is a process for dealing with these jokers, deal with this literally everyday at work.

    AI IT team should be familiar with it but if not point them here - https://www.wipo.int/amc/en/domains/guide/

    They should be able to claim the domain name and have it awarded to them through the court system at which point they can simply park the domain so it can't be used by squatters....but criminals are gonna criminal and will figure out another variation to lure people with.

    @Lowlight feel free to reach out if you need more info or direction for the folks at AI. There are companies that deal with this sort of thing as part of their business, and manage the UDRP process to reclaim the domain and get it handed over to AI.

    incase anyone was wondering. this scammer site is still very active and very scammer as of today.

    on a side note, anyone know any good hackers that can ruin lives that want some pro-bono work?
