GunBroker.com, LLC Selling goods, or your personal information? Kennesaw, Georgia

Some background first: I am a federal official with the highest security clearance available in the US Government, and with a background in training and carrying concealed firearms. I am also familiar with ALL US government databases regarding background checks and criminal records. Gunbroker attracted by attention as they had a hard-to-find part to a hunting rifle I needed. The website requires new users to register. Going along with this process, I noticed they stated they charge 1$ for a "background check." I know for a fact that there is no official background check that can be conducted for $1. Maybe they look for your profile on PHacebook. In any case, I went along with this, thinking that with the price of the part, the $1 was meaningless. However, they then informed me that they needed another $2 for an "in-depth" report. This was was a real surprise, given my security background, available on any public database. Again, no real data search can be conducted for $2. Even more shocking was that the only way to conduct this search was by giving them my credit card and/or checking account information. This leads me to believe that they are selling this information and not really at all interested in the firearms business. Do not use this site nor agree to register. The internet is full of fraud reports from this store, and as an expert in the business, it is best to stay away from any firearms site that conducts business in such an amateur and insecure manner.
