User 6speed is a thief that should be banned

GdB · Jul 18, 2008

Who's the admin on this site? I need to get 6speed banned for ripping off buyers.

All the sudden hes is in complete denial over the $950 he owes me for the tranny. He denied ever talking to me over the phone. He denied everthing to the Better Business Bureau. A complete liar!

MORE DIRT on Percy from another site he posts at:

"I haven't had a serious violation in some time, but have had quite a few in the past, and know how the system works.

I once spent the night on jail because I didn't pay parking tickets, they suspended my registration, and I was driving the vehicle w/ a suspended lic. due failure to pay a small fine... that sucked... but I got off pretty easy due to me following the above.."

Dear Percy oaks:

Is there some reason you have not sent my refund payment?

Per our agreement (see next page), you agreed to send me a transmission and other parts for $950 shipped. I sent payment in 2 checks which you cashed (see next page).

Since then, you agreed to send a full refund.

Failure to send a full check or PayPal refund by March 29 will result in further action, including notification of local authorities and involvement of a collection agency.

PLEASE PAYPAL $950 REFUND TO: XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Sincerely,
XXXXXXXXXX

If money changed hands (he cashed the cheques) I would file a complaint of fraud with the Buffalo commercial crimes squad. My guess is you aren't going to get your money back, but at least you could keep anyone else from getting screwed over.

Good luck.

I feel for you man... I HATE people like this.

Abacus · Jul 20, 2008

This is why I always do transactions via the USPS, if he scams you, they get involved, then it's a Federal matter. It's saved me more than once when dealing with Ebay'ers.

The USPS has teeth...

Not only that... I NEVER send checks, orders, or use money transfer... I ONLY use Paypal or credit card. At least both offers some sort of protection. If they don't accept Paypal or credit... I don't do business with them.

BKmetz · Jul 20, 2008

What you need is 6speed to resolve this issue. Getting him banned might make you feel like you accomplished something, but the reality is that it would be a very hollow victory.

6speed, you are in the court of public opinion here. The alligations are very damaging. This is your chance to speak your side and recover your credibility and reputation. What say you?

I think he said thanks for the money, gotta run.

k45 · Jul 21, 2008

That Ic3 site is a joke. they do not do jack. I got scamed BAD a few yrs back on ebay (I still think ebay should be responsible) The guy posted the same thing again but change all the info but used the same pics. turned him in and they shut him down I think. Hope it works out. I will say the more stuff you have in writign the stronger your case. Good Luck

1) Paypal 'protection' is a joke. 100% Utter Joke don't rely on it more than you'd rely on 6speed to deliver your turbos.

2) Do we need to go all Dr. Boost on this guy?

GdB · Jul 22, 2008

Darkscout,

Thanks for your offer to go doctor boost, but he gets one more week.

After sending him an email with the arsenal of options listed, and the same day presenting evidence to a BBB (Better Business Bureau) rep. in his area, yesterday he sent me a text message which I take as a check is in the mail.

I forwarded the message to my email from my verizon cell phone:

from 562xxxxxxx@vtext.com
to xxxxxxxxxxx@gmail.com
date Mon, Jul 21, 2008 at 8:02 PM
subject Got to the bottom of

"Got to the bottom of this. You will receive repayment by this time next week."

However, he will still owe Losha $250 for an undelivered door. I'll leave that up to Losha to ask for assistance.

Thanks All!

That was not spam, it was a warning about a thief in your neighborhood.

None of you Buffalo folks care about this theft anyway. I found that out when I quitely asked for a little local assistance on your buffalo thread.

So to correct your statement, I annoyed a lot of people who could have helped me, BUT NEVER BOTHERED TO AFTER I ALREADY ASKED THEM BECAUSE THEY DON'T CARE! And the reason I annoyed them is not for posting (not spam), but because they are embarrased to have this guy in thier neighborhood.

yea well everyone from buffalo knows who is a scammer and who isnt, thus we dont deal with those who have less than reputable reviews. you got burned which def sucks but you then annoyed everyone who knew better than deal with percy. you wernt helping us out or doing us a favor in any way. as a matter of fact i cant even remember the last time he posted on ditb. if you have so much info on him just go see him in person instead of annoying people who had nothing to do with it... thats what i would do...

I assure you that this was the first time that myself or 99% of the other members have heard about your situation.

Today, in fact was the first time I have seen the Buffalo thread on here. One post would have been enough. From what I understand, the head admin has already contacted you about the duplicate posts, and it has been resolved.

I'm sure people care about your situation, but what are you expecting us to do exactly? Go over to his garage and beat him up for the money? Like others have said, contact the proper authorities for internet fraud and let them sort it out.

Funny... I specifically do NOT use Paypal, ever, for anything, for these same reasons. History has shown they will not lift a finger to help, and have screwed MANY people. paypalsucks.com

USPS on the other hand, has the power to serve warrants, make arrests, etc. They take mail fraud VERY seriously. You send someone a USPS Money Order and they cash it but don't deliver? The office of the USPS inspector general will get medieval on their posterior. *FAR* better than any of the false "protections" that paypal claims to offer.

I used USPS, so your good advice is my next move.

I have had 100% success with refunds from Paypal/Ebay transactions.

I posted before in the tdiclub thread for buffalo members, asking for some help.

What I was thinking was just a knock on his door if you are in the area, and a friendly persuasive conversation. A real face (or surogate) might make a difference in talking some sense into Percy. He does not seem violent or unreasonable when you talk to him. The worst I got was the last telephone conversation, he tried to deny ever talking to me before (Before I first paid him I had a nice conversation with him on the phone). I mentioned the letter, check copies, etc. Then he text messaged me another day admitting...

I understand if knowone wants to take that step, I just thought I'd ask since I'm ~3000 miles away.
