    +UPDATED+ Facebook scammers!

    Update: Scammers page has been removed

    It has been brought to our attention that someone has created a fake Facebook business page impersonating us. The page is listed as “Kellys Sporting Goods Inc.” They have taken their profile and cover photo from our Google business listing. Their product photo’s are more than likely ones they have downloaded from around the internet. They also list our address with the addition of Whistler, BC. The phone number is not ours. It appears they are trying to take advantage of the current ammunition shortage. They are also advertising products which are prohibited in Canada. We advise you not to contact them or attempt to make any purchases. They are scammers. It is possible they may impersonate other dealers as well, so heads up to the other dealers.


    Our Real Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/Kellys-Spor...47600501940554

    Just a head up. I can't access your page if I don't have a facebook account. But I can access the scammer page. If you want traffic to head to you and not them I suggest being open to public viewing.

    A victimless crime is a term used to refer to actions that have been ruled illegal but which are argued not to directly violate or threaten the rights of any other individual.

    Whatever the punishment is for doing something like this, it isn't nearly strict enough

    I am not on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or Tic-Toc therefore there is no chance they can scam me

    I reported it. Apparently facebook is too busy monitoring covid posts to stop some genuine fraud attempts.
