Warning!
 
Hello,

I just wanted to let every one know bikeshacksonline.com is a FRAUD! DO NOT buy from them!

A guy I know got caught in it. He dished out 500 dollars for a bike and never saw hide nor hair of it. The same person/people are running several fraudulent/fake online stores. I mainly just wanted to get the word out and warn my fellow cyclists.

If anyone has a means to spread the word about this, I would greatly appreciate you doing so in whatever fashion you can. I figured that this was a good place to start.

Best regards.

Well, dang. They even have the "Internet Authorized Retailer" badge.

Srsly, though, thanks for the heads up.

Didn't "the guy" use a credit card? Then the card company could handle the mess.

I looked it up and the first hit spells it like this: "BikesHackOnLine." Appropriate.

They claim to sell a Surly LHT (no way to choose size) for $650. I don't think Surly allows dealers to sell online.

A bit of googling turns up this post.

the fact that they won't take Paypal, only western union, that's a red flag.

+1. Anyone with any online shopping experience would immediately recognize this site as a fraud.
