Ascertaining whether a company is legit or dodgey? - Perth-WRX.com

There is a company in Jakarta that I want to find out if it is legit or just another internet rort. I am of the opinion that "if it sounds too good to be true, it is".............. but

Does anyone know any way of finding out the info I need?

Cheers
Dan.

Is this for a purchase of product or investment, bit vague mate.

Could start with a name at least.

It's a company that apparently sell high end road / triathlon bicycles. All I have is a name of "International Bicycle".

Link is Specialized S-Works Amira 2011 Bike - INTERNATIONAL BICYCLE

And also this: International Bicycle

If they are legit, I'm getting this bike as it's the lowest I have found in all my research so far. I just don't want to get burned....... and broke.

Check Scamnet and Department of fair trading - DOCEP

ScamNet - CP ScamNet Home

Consumer Protection - Department of Commerce

I have just emailed them in the past - they will let you know if there are any known issues.

Had a quick look and the worrying thing there doesn't appear to be any way of contacting the company. No phone number, address etc. If you can't speak to anyone, I'd skip it. I buy my bike stuff from the Uk/US much cheaper than Australia.

There is similar bikes available through a couple of legit Taiwanese companies and they have CF frames with all the leading parts etc for nearly half of what the big brands charge, also factories like these are the ones who are actually contracted to make the big brand bikes.

I'm on my way out the door and cant remember the name but I'll see if I can dig it up when I get back.
