    So I found this company called PinballShore via Instagram. They have a few pinball machines for sale at good to decent prices. My concern is, I can't find them anywhere on the internet. I requested from them a website address which they gave me.

    Pinballshore.com

    But something doesn't feel right. They claim to be based out of the US but their address on their website is in the UK.

    I just didn't know if someone has dealt with these people yet.

    Their "About Us" section has a lot of grammatical and spelling errors. I would be wary of this unless someone has had any transactions with them.

    Wow! Pinsider to the rescue.

    I wonder why this scammer website is still operational?

    Can you take down a website? The Instagram page could be reported.

    Quoted from Daditude:

    Because websites are tough to remove. There's usually a vetting process for complaints to protect the web host's customers against false claims. Imagine if someone claimed that a website they didn't like was doing something malicious when they really weren't, just because they didn't like the site and wanted to cause trouble.

    Quoted from LoserKid_Pinball:

    Can you take down a website?

    Not unless you contact their hosting provider and can provide concrete proof it's a scam site or is operating in some way that violates their host's terms of service policy. A hosting provider isn't going to terminate a customer's account just on some random person's say-so.
