A chap at work said he ordered some forks here really cheap a week ago: www.snow-solutions.co.uk

Seems too good to be true for a lot of stuff price-wise, and whole layout looks odd with no proper contact details etc. Presume a scam site? I suspect the forks will never turn up.

It’s insecure and looks dodgy as they come! I wouldn’t touch them!

Wow, that’s about the least legitimate site I’ve seen in many a year.

What on earth compelled your mate to send them his dough?

Wow. I hope the guy at your work isn't in charge of anything. Like getting himself dressed. Even that would seem risky for someone with that level of judgement.

I like how there is another site on the same server which sounds more to do with bikes (getbikefit) but is a bathroom furniture site instead. With roughly the same levels of care and attention paid to it as the bike variant.
Chances of those forks turning up makes the odds for Sick customers look good.

Hmm, what gave you the impression it might be a little dodgy?

Is it the extremely high resolution image used in the main banner?

Or maybe the 'About us' section who goes into incredible detail about the founders of the company, their goals and beliefs, and so-on?

It might just be a very poorly created site re-selling cheap Chinese tat, or he might never see the money again. Who knows 😀

Whois gives a registered date of November 2018, so the website is a few months old, at least...

At least he's only been done for £7. For now.
