Online retailers trusted/scammers


vs


note the APex imnage of the grey cannondale has a "Bike Taller" bottle, like the above link


this one is an R&D cycles photo too

Would be cautious, suburb listed is on the dodgy side of town. Address when put into maps is just a row of houses, if too good too be true..

I kind of want to call now.. maybe it's part of the new generation of AI scam sites? How hard could it be to get a real fake ABN/etc?
 
Ahh nice, the other day was only 5star reviews, from people i couldn't googlestalk :)

"Timothy Moreno"s FB page is also stolen photos
yeah interesting. I looked up reviews back when I first saw the store and they were all good but only a few of them. Interesting those 1 star reviews have all popped up since.
 
I hope the website stays up until the weekend as I'ma going to try my luck for price matching a shiny new Garmin.

Went to HN and they didn't have the model I wanted in stock, then JB Hi-Fi but they wouldn't price match as Apex Sport Bikes was blocked and they couldn,'t review so off to Rebel...checked phone then logged on and all was good, even signed up as a member and got a 10% store credit. pretty happy with the whole process.

well done...
APex site looks like it might have been nuked.. https://apexsportsbikes.net/ (but the page source still has some of the original code, including the russian line)
His "personal" and store FB profiles have also been deleted/hidden

Perhaps we should buy a domain and build our own store front with decent prices just so we can point to it for price matching purposes ;)

Keep an eye on ABN and see if any new names pop up?
(just digging for fun..)
some shopify site data here, including the contact Ph# (fake?) 6146826799
which is different to the number on trust pilot +61468267998
They actually bothered to reply to reviews on Trust pilot!

Some fortuitous timing in the end, cheers for the tip.

JB's software must've been onto something when it blocked that specific site out, I hope the poor buggers at Rebel don't get hauled over the coals for price matching, although the kid that served me called his manager to approve as the saving was over $900 in the end.
