Avoid Cinderbikes.com

[Brian]

They've been spamming me with their "Sale" info, yet they don't even list their site in the email. I looked it up, and it looks legit at first, but in the contact info, there is no phone number. What kind of bike shop doesn't list their phone number? I did a quick and dirty search, and couldn't verify their street address. Has anyone else heard of them, or been contacted by them?

Here's the text of their email:

It's a new variation of the "Jack's Bikes" (Or whatever name they happened to be using that day) scam. It looks like they have a different website layout, but some of the photos, and the MO, are exactly the same.

How dumb would they have to be to send that email to me?

How dumb would they have to be to send that email to me?

From another website:

"Broward County Property Appraiser site lists NO records for the address."

A definite scammer.
