Danger Dassie Posted August 22, 2012 Posted August 22, 2012 Saw this alert from Two Wheels Trading and Momsen Bikes. On their Facebook page.Regarding what is allegedly a fraudulent website operating under the guise of selling Momsen bikes,A copy and paste from the Momsen site, using their information and business address etc... but with a different contact phone number. "ALERT: Momsen Bikes and Two Wheels Trading are saddened to report that their brands have suffered an UNAUTHORISED COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT. We have instituted legal proceedings against Wozon Wheels Trading (http://wozaonlinebikes.wozaonline.co.za/) and recommend that no customer or future customer please trade with this company. For any further information, please do not hesitate to contact us at info@momsenbikes.com. We appreciate your support and assistance in this matter."
Eldron Posted August 22, 2012 Posted August 22, 2012 That is just odd. Illegal and odd. The question is...where do they get the bikes from? Are they buying from Momsen and selling cheap or buying straight from Taiwan and underselling Momsen?
GLuvsMtb Posted August 22, 2012 Posted August 22, 2012 I wonder if Niel's Wheels have started an online business?
Flowta Posted August 22, 2012 Posted August 22, 2012 That is just odd. Illegal and odd. The question is...where do they get the bikes from? Are they buying from Momsen and selling cheap or buying straight from Taiwan and underselling Momsen? Underselling by R 8k on the Dual link 7
Caerus Posted August 22, 2012 Posted August 22, 2012 They also seem to be agents for Rocky Mountain as well. Call the cell number supplied, see what they say.

I called them and confirmed this. It's a copy and paste straight from the Momsen site into this false one, so it's more than likely purely to get your cash. NO bike.

Wyatt Earp Posted August 22, 2012 Posted August 22, 2012 They also seem to be agents for Rocky Mountain as well. Call the cell number supplied, see what they say.What do you expect them to say ?The "alert" with "We have instituted legal proceedings against Wozon Wheels Trading" rings enough alarm bells.
Mackie Posted August 22, 2012 Posted August 22, 2012 I called them; Spoke to Nelson, asked if he had the SL 929 in stocke, he said yes, I asked how much, he said what was the promo price on the website, I said R6995 he said thats right price valid until tommorrow only, I said I would call back.The sl929 retails for R38990.Scam!!!Nelson sounded Nigerian....

Java001 Posted August 25, 2012 Posted August 25, 2012 You think they are supplying from here? Your Google earth photo is an old one. These are the now the REAL premises of the REAL TWT/Momsen - I drove past it this morning.
