Hi guys, looking at front suspension. I really like the look of the Ohlins front forks installed on the ugs.

Must be a scam

 

[J.Davis]

Too cheap to be legit, I reckon. Maybe chinese knockoffs?

 

[TimC]

That has to be a scam. For one thing, I don't think even Chinese knockoffs could be made that cheap without being made out of cardboard.

Also, who puts emojis in the text of a product listing online? And a 38% "random discount"?!

 

[Baloo]

What the heck is a "retro fork"?

 

[Chris.]

100% a scam; seen those chinese sites before offering stuff for too cheap.
You can get a webshop online in like an hour.. hosting + building.

Check your virus scanner, @Louis Urban GS.
Had a (german) warning by opening the site. Some malware or trojan.

 

[Louis Urban GS]

Yeah as suspected. If something is too good to be true it's almost always is a scam. Has anyone one here got the Ohlins retro forks on the urban GS. I did search around

 

[BaldyDave]

Personally I'd stay WAY clear of this, almost certainly a scam IMO.

Most of these virus scanners block those kinda sites; because they are not "known' by google even..

Obviously a fake site. Their listed address is a house in Vero Beach, FL. Their email address is a gmail account, also used by a Chinese site as their domain contact email. Looking at the code for the site there are hundreds of underlying links for Twitter. There is no phone number on their web site.

I'd scrub this web site out of my cache history and look for any malicious cookies it has left behind.

 

[The Hack]

As others have said, it's a scam.
The website was only created on 19th Dec 2022 on a web server in China

 

[GapRunr]

When I checked it came up as a server at Cloudflare in San Francisco, but the domain owner and technical contact are both listed in China.

I suspect they will make a few thousand bucks off of unsuspecting consumers and then disappear. This isn't the only scam they are running right now. Their code is setup to simply input logos and images with the same Wordpress template. In some of their policies they have forgotten to update their template information. Check out Big Agnes Brand Products Up to 40% Off at bigagnesstore.com for Blankets & Beach Towels,Hiking & Camping Essentials,Kids' Gear,Sleeping. . Exact same page but with mattress pads instead of shocks.

I'm surprised anyone is even asking if it's a scam , of course it's a farking scam. New Ohlins forks for a hundred dollars?🤣💩

 

[Tim 2154]

I mean the domain name itself just screams scam and it’s all downhill from there if you dig deeper.

I'm confident they're legit so I ordered three of everything and gave them my SSN just to make sure they ship to the right address. When I get the stuff in, I'll resell for a small markup. Y'all be ready. Just in case it all goes South, I'll be ready for a gofundme assist to make next month's mortgage.

Sounds great, when they land I'll pay you $200 for a set, whammy, doubled your dollars right there.😁

We need Kitboga to make thes scammers rage 😉

 

[Box3rCup]

Scammy as 💩
A definite NOPE...
to boot, here's the street view of their location

 

[Bobber101]

I bought Ohlins cartridges and springs for the front forks on my Triumph from this UK company. Home - Kais Ohlins
For my R9T I went with Nitron for front and rear as I like their stuff and its made in England. Having fitted a Nitron shock to the back of the Triumph I wasn't disappointed. Nitron Shocks

BTW...
I forgot to mention that you may want to be on Wunderlich's e-mailing list; reason I say that is becuz a couple years ago I received/responded to their e-mail announcing they had a special sale on Öhlin fork inserts, forks and rear mono-shock... for 33% off of list! Needless to say, I didn't waste a second ordering them which saved me well over $1,000.00 USD...jus' sayin'
