The scam of selling a bike that doesn't exist has taken a new and sinister twist. Below are two websites; the first is of a genuine UK dealer called Colin Collins, the second is a scam.
http://www.colincollins.co.uk/bikes/index.html
http://www.motor-maniax.com/bikes/index.html
Despite purporting to be based in Cornwall, "Motor Maniax" advertise all their bikes in US dollars and at ludicrously low prices. According to Penzance Police there is no such address as the one listed on their site and the post code refers to a public weigh-bridge. It is becoming increasingly clear that Motor Maniax have ripped off Colin Collins website in order to try and con people into thinking that they are dealing with a genuine company. The final knife twist is that these fraudsters are now starting to post on forums like ours saying things like. "I got my bike really cheap from here... blah blah.".
Please be careful out there, these scams are getting more sophisticated every day and I would hate for anyone to get caught.
