Notice any similarities in the sites below? I just did a google on "SPECIAL
PRICES - LIQUIDATION OF 2006 STOCK"

http://users2.nofeehost.com/jeromesbikes/
http://www.morgansbikes.com/
http://www.edmundbikesonline.com/faq.html (at least they're not just
scamming the US!)

Hard to believe anyone falls for these scams. Even harder to believe that
they resurface, unchanged, over and over and over. It can't be all that hard
for someone to track, and these guys are nothing if not prolific.
