Question: I'm looking at a [bike for sale](https://www.likessale.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=1&path=1_2) on Likessale. It seems way too good to be true, based on a [Google search](https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS713US714&biw=1920&bih=969&tbm=shop&ei=yu1EXKutG4bI_QaqyYSQBA&q=Diamond%20Release%205%20C&oq=Diamond%20Release%205%20C&gs_l=psy-ab.3...5260.6700.0.7517.8.7.0.0.0.0.186.594.2j3.5.0....0...1c.1.64.psy-ab..4.1.104...0i13k1.0.AfXZDxKv7aQ#spd=13111342335810783757) for prices for the same bike. Has anyone bought a bike here or can verify whether or not this is a scam?

I looked up [likessale.com on WHOIS](https://whois.icann.org/en/lookup?name=likessale.com), and it appeared to be registered only a week ago. It seems fishy that there are reviews from before that.

Answer: 
I'm confident to call it a scam. 

The same bike is on Amazon for $2162 to $3856 USD.

[https://www.amazon.com/Diamondback-Bicycles-Podium-Vitesse-Carbon/dp/B01HHQ1BWA/ref=pd\_lpo\_sbs\_200\_t\_1](https://rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/B01HHQ1BWA)

Manufacturer gives it a MSRP of $3700 USD.  

To expect to pay 5% of that price is **MASSIVELY suspicious**.

Also notice the site lists MTB-style frame sizes (Small-15.5/Medium-17/Large-19/XL-21), where the bike is built in metric sizes (XS 50; S 52; M 54; L 56; XL 58cm)

I see the word "diamondback" never appears on the remote web site at all in text - it only appears on the bike photos which appear to be lifted from standard advertising materials.

**TL;DR** Yes its a scam. Send your money at your risk. If you ever do get a bike delivered, it will be an inferior knockoff product. 

Just don't.
Don't give money to likesale.com.

I made a purchase on 18 January 2019 and I should've done some research before. I also wondered how they could have reviews posted from september when the site is only a week old.

I've emailed the website and even sent an email to the owner email address provided through the domain info. Haven't received any info, and will post any new info I find out.

I'm pissed and have to decided to spend some time giving this particular scam as much hell as I can.
