HenryS Posted February 1, 2022 Share An ad for this website popped up on my FB feed today. I had a look at the site and all the signs are there that it's a scam. The site was only registered on 16 January, prices are too good to be true, only a cellphone number and no secure payment methods. If you try and place an order, it just goes into a Whatsapp chat where they will probably give you details to EFT. https://mtbwarehouse.co.za/ There is an address given at N4 Gateway Business Park in PTA East, but I suspect you won't find this particular warehouse there.

Quagga Posted February 2, 2022 Share I called the number. Guy answered and said I am welcome to go the warehouse where one can view the bikes and buy if you like How can scott say it is a scam site? The guy did not sound like a scammer at all, maybe there spelling mistakes on their website but it seems fixed now. @Matt maybe you want to look into these aligations on bikehub, just now it is not a scam site?
