Think I've been had...

Hi Guys
On Facebook over this weekend was a banner ad for a 'Flash Sale' of Trek bikes from this company https://flash.bicycleflash.com
I placed the order and haven't heard anything since apart from getting an email confirming my order, the phone number listed is a US one that doesn't seem to exist, and my emails have not been responded to. I have a feeling I've been duped on this one.
Does anyone else know of this company or have experience of them?
Thanks

Thanks Guys - I was dumbass for sure, but with Covid I could imagine a flash sale like this being real.
When some shops were selling a year’s worth of bikes each month, there was absolutely no need for any manufacturer, distributor or retailer to offer any discounts at all. Oops.

Don't forget those free camper vans that are last years models, so cannot be sold and must be give away
This is from the same person who got all arsey about the proposed NHS track and trace apps and saying that people should delete his contact details rather than risk them sharing that info with the government

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.
Because (in the nicest possible way to the OP) it ensures that they only catch the very dumbest and greediest of the dumb and greedy. There's no point in appealing to people who are going to be suspicious, so they just go for those for who are unable to apply critical thinking no matter how quite literally incredible the prices are.Gassing Station | Pedal Powered | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
