WTF? I think we need some clarification, after all of that, and everything's just peachy-keen now?

Yes, you can trust both him and I, we had our differences, but we both got over it and are going on with our lives.

I've talked to MyFirst4G for a while now here and on AIM and nothing he has ever seen or did would lead me to believe he was any sort of criminal. If you have hard evidence then prove it if not then don't say he did something if you can't prove he did.

Thanks man, but everything has been sorted out between me and him, it was a misunderstanding but everything is good now.

I was screwed out of $1500 by a Ebay user called Typermugen for a Honda B16 engine swap last June or July. His name is Mike McClain and he is out of Monrovia, CA. I sent him a check to pay him, he cashes it, and I get the run-around from him up until November of last year. I no longer hear out of him and I never got my motor. I can't locate his new address anywhere since he had said he moved last August. He has dicked several other people on Ebay, but I can't get much current info about him from those other users since they paid with an online method. If anyone knows of this guy, please let me have whatever info that you may have about it. Thanks for your time and attention.

I was ripped off by Import Trenz! I bought a body kit in june and it took sooo long for it to get here! but when I got it I found that it wasn't the one I wanted! I mean the name of the kit was right I got the mugen rear bumper the combat sides and the blitz front! Not one of the parts were like they were in the picture! they were just the bumper. the mugen rear is supposed to fit right up to thre taillights and it onli goes where the bumper was, same with the front! the sides were pretty much the same but missing one of the air holes. I called them to complain and they said that if I want to return it I have to pay for the shipping as well I have to pay a 20% restocking fee! It says nowhere on their site that they may not be exactly as shown or anything! so now I have to take pictures of it and send it to them and maybe they will refund my money!! 3 months and $700 usd and this is what I have to put up with!

I bought some parts from [email protected] (http://www22.ivenue.com/shmotorsport) and received many of the wrong parts, unlike the ones I ordered. I have been emailing them and calling them for about 3 weeks now with no response at all.

The parts I got were of high quality, and the order was very prompt, I just got the wrong styles of all the parts I ordered.

I dont like to do this but FL people, stay away from Racing Works in the Central Florida area for engine work. They intsalled my friends turbo wrong, drilled a hole in the block and left the metal shaving in the block. Destryoed bearing, crankshaft and rods. He also paind to port and polish the head, guess what? Didn't happen.

I recently bought a CRX from CA and didn't want to drive it all the way to NC because it was mostly a race car w/ no climate control, radio or windshield wipers. So, I paid $850 to get it shipped here to American Auto Shipping. Everything went smoothly at 1st, set up pick up date for Aug. 15th and they charged my credit card. I called on the 15 to see if everthing went OK and they said that they will be picking it up from Aug 23rd-26th now...pissed at 1st, but since it was OK by the seller I bit my tongue. I called on the 26th to check up on them and the car still HAD NOT BEEN PICKED UP, they said they would call the trucking co. and find out why it hadn't been picked up yet....that was the last time I had spoke with any representative from them. I called everyday after that and got an answering service that gave me the runaround and kept me on hold for 20 minutes+, so finally i got fed up and contacted the Better Business Bureau. Turns out the company has had a lot of similiar complaints, and that it would take 3 weeks for them to process mine. I still call the shipping co. almost everyday, except now they don't even have an answering svc. so it rings forever, this might go to court. And all I want is my CAR!!! So, if you are planning on shipping a car DO NOT use American Auto Shipping.:finger:
Thanks

i havent been ripped off (YET!) but i may be, by Mark Gearhart out of temple terrace, fl. anybody got any info on this guy? i paid him for a h22 back at the end of july, i know him from another forum (accordclub.com) and even though the claim is that it takes 4-6 weeks for the motor to come its been 2 months and he says its just now gettin shipped out! i dunno what to think. im not saying that ive been ripped of....but id like to hear from someone else that has orderd motors from accordclub/jdmclub and either recieved there money from him for no motor or recieved an actual motor.

conversations are short and not very trusting between us so im having dificulty believing that my motor is actually on its way with no tracking # or no estimated time of arrival

Update on my problem.

Oops, there is no freakin update. He is still giving me the runaround. But now he goes by the name Eric Estrada on thepartstrader.com. E-mail [email protected]

sorry, i posted my complaints about Premier Motorsports in the Off-Topic section.

[mdnnccivicrcr]

well, it's taken six years but I finally got taken online... check this out I pay for an item over a week ago to the seller Redlinezone_com on eBay I'm just now getting a tracking number and it's still not showing the item even in transit... this guy is a rip-off. He's got people giving him positive feedback that sound like total bull$hit. "excellent communication" "Fast Shipping" that's exactly the opposite of what he is. It's taking at least a month for items to arrive (I talked with other buyers) which is totally bogus when an item that is clearly stated in his auction as "In Stock" I'm getting a tracking number when I should be getting the item on my doorstep. I could drive and pick it up faster than it's taking me to get him to ship it.

in short.....

DO NOT BUY FROM THAT FRAUD!!!
