It's disgusting to see that the #1 return on godzilla pinball on Google is from a scam website (pinballmachinesandparts)
Hurry, their 70% off all pinball machines sale ends soon!

I just googled Godzilla pinball and four of the six ads at the top are scam sites
But this should surprise no one.

Another new facebook scam page
facebook.com/Smith.Alan231
they are promoting this website which is not online yet
pinballnations.com
What is up with outlawpinball? ( facebook.com/outlawpinballgang )
Every time I see a new facebook scam page it seems like they follow it
Quoted from Datsun_Z:Has anyone dealt with this place. I'm very much on the fence if they are legit or not. Prices seem fair. Not super low and also not inflated. The weird part is that there's no contact or location information unless you ask and then they only DM that information. They say they are based in Chicago. I hate to post this of they are legitimate, but my gut says to be cautious.

Quoted from ForceFlow:They are on the questionable list since there are some red flags, but it's unclear what is going on with that website. It's not like the other typical scam sites and would require a deeper dive to investigate.
If you're interested in buying a game, I would suggest a known & legitimate distributor that plenty of folks can vouch for.
Aminis is a real place with physical locations and over priced to boot.
They really arent know for pins at all although they do but/sell them

Scam page copying Eau Claire Arcades Facebook page

And this new Facebook account recently appeared (David Johnson) that pushes scam links with positive testimonials

Another scam facebook page. I believe all the ones I've previously listed are the same scammer.

Quoted from ForceFlow:Looks like it's already in the list. It appears to have been identified almost a month ago. Ugh. It sucks that the page has been operating for that long.
I can't imagine how annoying and frustrating it is to constantly have to deal with this.
And Facebook will do absolutely nothing about it. I report scam sites as scam sites all of the time and not once has Facebook responded with anything but “thanks for your concern but this page does not violate our community standards”
Quoted from hassellcastle:Scammer posing as us in Instagram. They are literally using just about every post we make including those that are watermarked.
Instagram/pinballfunmania
Notice how they’re using the word Fun in their name to piggyback on ours.
I’m getting countless messages from people asking if we are associated with them. WE ARE NOT.
Omg you’re the staircase and checkered vct floor!
No scam post is complete without your staircase!
It’s so bad I just scroll past that staircase when I see it on Facebook
Your best bet to combat these assholes is to file copyright claims against them. That will actually cause meta to shut their accounts down
