Nice website looks legit... until you see the prices.

£288 reduced to £62 for a Trek road bike???

Even at £288 I'd buy ten, I have no idea why scammers think this won't raise a red flag, at least make the prices somewhat realistic.
It’s what’s referred to, by the idiots that run these scams, as the “feckin eejit test”. Some use deals that can’t be right, and / or really bad spelling and grammar. Either way, anyone who responds, flags themselves as the “feckin eejit” and the rinse and repeat cycle begins.

I fell for the 'free watch' scam. I'm my defence i was on the toilet, had just woken up and the 'postage' cost was low enough that I didn't care.
In the long run it encouraged me to learn how to change my own watch strap, which saved me about the same amount.
