I received an email from them announcing that they are back in business. When I clicked on the shop now button I got a page from Microsoft saying that the site has been reported as unsafe due to phishing. Does this mean that someone bought up their domain name and customer list simply as a means to scam?

I believe Cambria Bike bought the website and domain name.

You are probably seeing odd https returns while some server migration is happening.

Saying Planet Cyclery is back in business may be a bit generous. Cambria bike bought the IP of the now defunct Planet Cyclery, including the web domain name planetcyclery.com and customer lists (email addresses, etc.), but no other assets. It appears that Cambria bike has set up web pages behind the planetcyclery.com domain name that looks very similar to the cambriabike.com web pages, but with Planet Cyclery logos instead of Cambria bike logos. The product selection between the web pages looks similar as well.

I’m still buying a tire fire $25 off.

You're right! It looks like every product you access if from the Cambria catalog.
