While I haven't been around as long as many of the members here or on other sites, whoever these people are and the factthat they advertise accepting crypto-currency as a form of payment raises red flags for at least me.Maybe it will become one of the ways of the future?? Not a clue but not a single one of the known and well respected retailersout there does that I've ever seen.

We have been discussing these sites for a while now. They are "Chinese" clones of Airguns of Texas. You can see it in the source code.As they say, "always go to the source".

StephenThis computer illiterate would like to know what you mean by "the source code" & how to go there, pleaseThanksEdThe source code for a webpage, is a file that is downloaded which contains the instructions for the web browser on how to "build" the web page and how it will function.You can view the webpage's source code on most browsers by right clicking the page and selecting something like "View Source Code" or "View Page Source". A new page will open showing you the instructions. Like the attached file.Scroll down the page and look for odd things like Chinese characters. An American or European website would be unlikely to use them.** The thing that is odd to me, is the relatively high quality of these sites. They put a lot of working into them...... But to what purpose??? Just scamming some $$$ from credit cards.... That doesn't make sense. There is something I am missing.
