Default *READ* dont buy from blownvtec/dark customs

i paid 400 bux to blownvtec for some ---- almost a month ago now...havent gotten it and for the last week he hasnt answered PM's or emails.

i know there is another guy that sent around 360 to blownvtec and hasnt received anything he was supposed to.

i msg'd dark realm customs, and he said he's personal friends with blownvtec and that he was at his house...i was getting responses from dark realm within a few hours for PM's and never from blownvtec, and any questions that i asked dark realm about things going on w/ blownvtec he answered, things he wouldnt have know without knowing him....sounds odd doesnt it? unless anyone can vouch for dark realm saying they bought/received something from them, dont send them any money. i think dark realm is another name blownvtec made to scam people. just figured i would warn anyone so they wont get screwed.

I knew this was coming. They are both on the same IP. I have chatted with several people that are waiting for parts from him.

I think a ban is in order unless some miracle explanation comes up.

yeah, im just glad i sent my money over paypal. at least that gives me a little leeway in getting it back. im hoping that his paypal account gets locked and that forces him to do something....because i've already filed a complaint.

It's a sad thing these days. You have to be careful when you spot a classified with less than say 50 posts. I think most of our members are good guys though.
.....on the other hand, places like hondatech wont let new members into classifieds, even if they are honest, and that sucks too. I guess we're just gonna have to start handing out beatdowns!

----, I thought this might ------- happen, I haven't heard from dark realm since august 6th. Dark Realm said he was sending my stuff because blownVTEC was busy doing some work for him.

I'm the person who sent him $363 for rear disc brakes, door poppers, and corner lights.

I had jeff check on the ip and he said they were the same, that's what dr. boost was reffering to.

the address blownVTEC gave me:
David Faust
579 CR 1409
Mooreville, MS 38857

I don't know if that's a PO Box or a physical address, do any of you know which it is?

according to mapquest that is 20.5 hours (1250 miles) from me, not exactly a weekend drive (I live in Las Cruces, NM) but I'm so ------- pissed off I'd miss a little bit of school for it.

Is anybody else closer?

will anybody else who has not received stuff please step forward. I am going to pursue a law suit of some kind against him for fraud, I think that the combined amount we have sent is quite alot, so far we are at $763.

I'll see what the FBI can do for us, 2 of my friends' dads work for them.

well let's see how much we sent him, hopefully in a class action law suit we can get him for big jail time and our money back. I know of 1 other person that is waiting on stuff, I'm not going to say who it is just incase they don't want me saying, I dont' think they sent money, it was a trade.

Well, I had just sent him a money order for $90 last week even before this post was started. It's still early in the sale, so I'm pretty sure he hasn't even received the m.o.
But we'll see what happens. Sorry to hear this about you guy's. Hope I'm not another one.
