Can someone explain to me why people do that sort of stuff (copy/paste an overseas ad and change the price for a ridiculous amount) seeing that they never reply to messages, emails or calls????? I just don't get what they are trying to achieve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spyster Posted October 7, 2015 Share Speaking of scams - has anyone ever come across this crowd - https://www.bellsbikeonline.com I am looking for a bike for my wife and they are selling a Cannondale Rush 1 (2014 model), new for R16.5k! Seems really cheap. According to the online help they are based in the UK but have a warehouse in SA - therefore no shipping costs. Hmmmm... I am all for a good deal but I am hesitant to press the pay button. Any experience with them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
