What does this sentence at the top of their page tell you about the "company"?
"Centerpoint scopes get here and make your hunting became increasingly fierce and exciting"
Sounds like an oversees scam. There are lots of people who set up these phony websites to steal others money. Usually they pop up in droves around christmas time. I saw a documentary the other day on how low level mafia do these scams in the U.S. but from the language I would guess this scam is more of an overseas scam due to the ridiculous english.
It reminds me of the instructions on some Chinese made goods, "Alter friendly section insert after top portion to lower tube" ha ha

Besides the completely Cr4**y site made using Wordpress, Amazon and photobucket.
Site owner is Indonesian and using American servers and hosts. His domain registrar and network are commonly used by hardcore spammers and those needing net services that ignore shady practices to make a buck.
Run away is right.

+ 1 to Pauls' comments and... Center Point Gear is Crosman's brand, solely. Real logo attached.
It would be helpful to the forum readers if the original posters of this "stuff", did a little research before they just posted this "stuff".
I'm sure that some poor soul reading these referalls might just get "stuffed" on by these foreign scammers, right?
Thanks but No thanks.

Tarheel, maybe just change the title to something like "looks like a scam site is trying to sell centerpoint scopes" or something like that? That might help avoid any misinterpretation by future viewers of the thread.

Oh, by the way.
Lamongan is in Indonesia...
"BUY AMERICAN'...
