Is this a scam site? arlingtoncycles.com

[sleeper]

Anyone used them or heard of them?

Supposedly based in SA.

 

There prices seem ridiculously low, especially the Giant bikes.

Anthem X1 29er for R14000 seems like a scam to me.

 

Any opinions?

 

Thanks

I think the example you have given answers your question...

 

They are the biggest road bike dealer in SA - have you heard of them?

 

Quite an impressive site though - I assume it's a copy of another site?

You can add a bike to the cart without selecting a size.... dodgy

[cowboylegs]

not sure but all of these are last years models. give them a call and rather pay COD than with your CC

My client's corporate firewall states that this site is not kosher at all.

It does seam cheap

 

19k for a carbon Flash 3, and R32k for a carbon Scalpel..

Lol, yeh, definitively seems dodgy.

 

Friend of mine found the site, not sure how, will ask him.

The Twitter/Facebook links dont work

If you create an account (I created one for Joe Soap) and proceed to payment it does not take you to an HTTPS site..

 

Joe Soap just bought a Trek Madone - For R12 660 (Including shipping)

No Credit card option - only bank transfer

Confirmation email has been sent...waiting...

I found their "about us" plastered all over the internet.

They don't have a physical address on their site, so it's already dodgy.

They sell brands but they're not authorized dealers.

 

Dodgy? Certainly looks like it.

[alsoran]

No physical address under location.

 

That might be a clue as well.

Damn those are good prices, anyone tried calling the cape town number yet?

[shaper]

Says they have a huge warehouse where they will happily show you around and give you a coffee. Says they have recently moved to ludlow.

 

So call them, go visit. Then you will know
