Got this text to my biz line this morning (google voice). Yep, my full FFL number is in there. Not like it's top secret, but this is pretty impressively targeted if it's a scam.

I haven't clicked the link, because it looks scammy as shit.

If it's legit, who the hell is dumb enough to look like a scammer?

(737) 252-6359  is the number it came from.

Is your google voice phone # the one you used when you applied for your license?

If you add a + sign to the end of the bitly address bitly will show you what the real url is instead of redirecting you blindly

Neat! Didn't know that, thanks. Redirects to

https://new.ffls.com

Looks like they are scraping a database. I hate the antichrist.

There. We'll see if they sanitize their inputs.

Yep

Well I guess I won't be getting a text since my business number is a land line.

Got same text today myself.  Sent in my renewal a couple weeks ago, and interestingly, it "updated" my FFL number to when it should be expiring (2026).  That's assuming it gets renewed.  Havent heard anything back from ATF though as of yet.
