[bike] warning about internet bike vendor scam

[Ashley Carruthers]

Greetings Bilbys,
 
just wanted to give you the heads up on an internet bike vendor scam
I've become aware of recently. the site is www.lcbikes.com
<http://www.lcbikes.com/>  or lambert camden bikes.
 
 I was looking into buying something off them but then got suss and
checked it out, and it turns out it is indeed a fraud, but a very
professional one. they have too good to be true deals on some older
models of road and mtbs. more info:

As I wasn't actually defrauded by them the authorities won't do
anything, so I'm just trying to put it out there to as many cyclists as
I can.
 
cheers,
Ashley
