    Hi,


    On my eternal search for my N+1 bike, I came across the site below
    http://www.discounted.bike/.

    Some of the prices look too good and that has made me nervous. I am wondering if anyone has used them before, they seem to take paypal which gives me some comfort.

    Any experiences that can be shared would be appreciated

    Cheers

    first thing that i spotted - the site claims it's 'Kraken Germany GMBH' and gives a +48 number at the top.
    49 is the german international dialling code. 49 is poland. minor enough, maybe their callcentre is outsourced to poland, but it wouldn't have cost much at all to get a german number for a supposedly german company.

    It's a con. Same crowd outlined here:

    Avoid like the plague.

    cool,

    thanks for the info, glad my gut feel is correct. the prices are set to be almost believable. Not a bad con job in fairness. I will move on so.

    Add something to your cart and go through to buy. They ask you for a picture of your passport and a copy of a recent bill. Holy **** that is dodgey, there's some identity theft for your troubles.

    Sounds like they're trying to appear like Bikediscount.de who are a very good online supplier - https://www.bike-discount.de/
