NO, I do not think that bbms1000 and placecraft1 are the same person, but at the same time I do not think they are here to serve this site any good considering the way they are acting and I do not care who they are....If they want to continue the way they are acting then IMHO they should excuse themselves from here and blow back into where ever it is they came from or else become a productive part of this site and be welcomed by all

ALSO,
Some people have lodged in their mind that the mods and admins on this site are paid and that we are in charge of the ads.."WRONG"..If so, then the check must "BE IN THE MAIL" cause I have never gotten anything and neither have the rest of them...We try to help when someone has been scammed and as alot of you know we have gotten some peoples money back for them thru the proper useage of this site...but to some people you just cannot make it simple enough so they can understand..We give advise to the ones scammed and hope people will come here and ask about a seller before they send their hard earned money off to someone they have no idea who they really are...

IF YOU ARE GOING TO GIVE YOUR MONEY TO SOMEONE THEN YOU BETTER HAVE THE PRODUCT IN YOUR HAND AND BE SATISFIED WITH IT, OR KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THE SELLER IS HONEST..PERIOD..Now that is as simple as I can word it.....

I guess you are another one that only came here after the mail didn't come?

Your blaming us for your short commings now I see

You might want to stop typing for a bit and read the forum.Now quit showing others how much of a moron you are and call the police with your info that you have.

Oh thats right you don't know who you sent you money to.

Let me tell you some thing einstien
If the deal seems too good to be true,it probaly was.

I agree with the original poster - this site needs better control or a system to evaluate sellers easily. Buyers using this site should not have to dig through a listing and ask others to determine the seller is credible. I buy my parts else where instead of dealing with the cons this site breeds. This site has no control over sellers and that is why f'in scam artists & convicts flock to this site to rip people - wake up and take some owership of the issues this site has instead of point the finger back on people who use your site.

one more thing - who the hell would make an honor payment for a site that has a major short coming and does nothing to right itself? honor payment = joke

As bad as you think this site is then why are you coming here :?: Just to make trouble :!: Otherwise I see nothing of any value in your post...You got scammed somewhere and then you are wanting to blame this site for it....If you would pony up and pay a honest company instead of making the fools purchase then you would not have gotten scammed...It is simple and you still don't get it.....

vincef 12-01-2007 06:51 AM

I have every right to post here and express my true thoughts - not politically correct bulls^^. I used this site to make PURCHASES ONLY - never sold a thing so no need to make a honor payment.....

Additonally, I got f'ed on this site by a mo&&&rf'7n scam artist so I have every right to b&&ch up a d&&n storm about the "potential" this site gives to scam artists. I did the leg work and made several calls and talked to a engine buuilder on here as well as his references - all checked out and I was comfortable providing the engine builder a deposit to start the build.... guess what..... no motor and out a 4g deposit.

A lawsuit and threat of felony criminal charges from the local police got the *****er to pay back $2500 so far..... still waiting on the rest back and my patience is growing short with this h88 b9090rd.

So again , to summarize - because anyone can advertise and sell on this site, without mechanisms (i.e. think eBay) in place to prevent fraud, you get all kinds of shady sellers on this site.(((it even Nigerians that can't keep the flies out of their eyes comes to this site to weakly attempt to screw people... I am sure someone at somepoint fell for their scam.

Anyways, blah, blah, blah - I can b*&*h and complain, but really the main factor here is I will not use this site because of the people on it. The only one losing out is the people that makes profits on the site. They are not getting my money......

mopar1968 12-01-2007 07:28 AM

scammers
 
look folks what's done is done, lick your wounds and keep going, just ask before next purchase, believe me folks on here will let you know if the person is a scammer or not, they told me before!!!!!!!!!!

Vince
You have proved my point here in this thread.
http://www.racingjunk.com/profile/114383

This site gets all the freeloaders and Ebay rejects that couldn't cut the mustard.
And you know when a site is free it attracts these flys you spoke of earlier

So if you just come here to bash a little expect to get it back,but your like the rest of these freeloaders you all cry and do nothing about it,If you don't like it here,there are other sites for guys as yourself to "spawn" off from.

I'll be glad when RJ makes this place a PAY only site,that way I won't have to look at every other add that these people think Racing Junk owes them a place to sell their "Junk" for FREE

I agree RJ should step up to the plate here and finally make a stand,I see guys posting every day here selling that have been members since RJ opened the door,but you know what they always say when confronted,RJ says its a free site and they owe me a place to sell my stuff for free and you guys complaining are to "pay the bills" to keep this nice site up and going for us freeloaders.And there are alot of them here.So your barking up the wrong tree Vince.
But thanks again for stopping by and giving us your 2 cents as I value it.

But I can tell you Vince your an honest guy atleast you got a profile,some of these other guys don't even have one and "THINK" they are hiding,LMFAO they are priceless

Hey Matt did you get that profile done yet?

bjuice 12-01-2007 04:33 PM

ya i been checking everyday for Matts profile myself...

Brian

lotsof454sss 12-01-2007 04:33 PM

Vincef, Just so you know I am the one that did the edit job to your lunatic ranting...You do not need to show anyone on this site you can cuss, as it is childish behavior...Lets get right to it now...You came to this site and sent someone $4,000 as a deposit for an engine (NOT MOTOR) and you did not get what you bargained for and now you have gotten $2500 of your deposit back so you are only out a measley 1500 bucks and it is all the fault of Racing Junk and the members that this happened...So now you have the right to get on this site and conduct yourself in any manner that "YOU" see fit...Well I think perhaps you better back down some...You have rights, but not to do just whatever you want to do....

Just in case anyone missed this line in your post I will repost it for them....since you left no ones user id out, then I take it that you really do mean everyone, and lastly if you are not going to use this site because of all of us then GOODBYE BUB....THIS WAY OUT>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Exactly my thoughts,and you were saying Matt again?

Just trying to help your sales here Matt is all,a little more exposer so to speak :P

bbms1000 12-01-2007 06:55 PM

SCAMMERS and Micheal Anthony
 
8) I agree let bygones be bygones 8) everybody will have there day, like I said a long time ago when all this started, no one made me send the money, shame on me for being so trust worthy. I did just buy another set of heads from a guy in Georgia, his name is Gary Mcgill, seems to be very honest straight shooter, any comments?? :wink: I will not lose any more sleep over scums of the earth. I will move forward and try to look before I leap!!! I have talked to many honest people on this site and for years of buying never had any trouble, but there are always those who look to not have to work. If you are like myself you work hard for you money and do not like this to happen. I always said I am honest and this won't happpen but it did. It will just make me aware of the scum that is out there. I have been from east to west and north to south, these people will always be there. We all need to stick together as honest peple and when this happens lend a hand to put a stop to these kind. :idea: We can all help just put your heart and honesty forward. 8) Like they said he has been around for some time, shut him dowm. Thanks bbms1000

topsportsman1 12-01-2007 07:09 PM

I agree Matt with what you are saying.

Ok this guy you got the heads from did he have an add?
I haven't heard a bad word in this forum about the person you are dealing with either.

Just my 2 cents on this deal if that guy contacted you to sell you his heads
I'd want a "clean" bill of health from a machine shop before I bought them if they are used.

I know what you are saying Matt I do work hard for what I get too,
But to be on the safe side of this deal,I'd have them checked out and only but them COD if it were me.

There are some guys selling useless junk on here,get a second opinion from someone with a reputation such as a machine shop,just a heads up for you.

And like I always say,You pay for what you get.
And If the deal seem too good to be true it prolly is.

bbms1000 12-01-2007 07:47 PM

I have done my home work this time. He is very well known. 8) I will also add I talked to a guy last night on a set of heads that Micheal Anthony tried to scam two day's ago, tried to sell him a set of Bi Chief heads, yes the same guy :idea: Like I said before nobody made me send money, do your homework. It is frustrating to be honest some times.This guy just won't quit. I do not understand, how he thinks he is not going to get caught. If we all stick together his day is coming. :wink: Micheal beware the next time you make a purchase or sell, someone will be just around the corner. US :wink: We will all help set you strait!!! There is only one of you and thousands of US. Stop why you are ahead Get a job.!!!!! 8) 8) 8)

placecraft1 12-02-2007 05:46 PM

It maybe alot of work to check all the ads but when weeks go by and the same people are scamming over and over get them off the site and dont have there ads keep going on.

lotsof454sss 12-02-2007 05:50 PM

I have tried to be polite to you mostly but what does it take to tell you

WE DO NOT HAVE ANY CONTROL OVER THE ADS...THAT IS NOT WHAT THE MODS AND ADMINS DO...CALL RJ WITH YOUR COMPLAINT..

THIS WAY BACK IN >>>>>>>>>>>>> (wtf is that???? :lol: :lol: :lol: ) Anyway "BUB" you have a tendency to respond in a way that automatically puts people on this site who have got scammed in a position to "defend" themselves on why they got scammed.

The moderators suggestions, including yours, indicate you have to interrogate every seller on this site to the fullest extent because of the fraud and scammers. I think it makes this site untrustful and the sales and amount of honor payments will never reach fullest potential because of the fraud and reputation this site has - period.

You can continue to put people on the defensive, but regardless karma will win out and karma is a blessing. So when the day comes you make a purchase and get scammed - come on here to tell us about it and I will say........

"WE DO NOT HAVE ANY CONTROL OVER THE ADS...THAT IS NOT WHAT THE MODS AND ADMINS DO...CALL RJ WITH YOUR COMPLAINT."

OR....

"You got scammed somewhere and then you are wanting to blame this site for it....If you would pony up and pay a honest company instead of making the fools purchase then you would not have gotten scammed...It is simple and you still don't get it....."

OR.... you should have checked their references; any smart seller would do that....

You need to get "demoderated" and lose the privilege so someone else that can provide VALUABLE feedback and uphold the integrity of the site - not degrade it like the majority of you comments seem to do.....

Now as you so whole heartedly say...... GOODBYE BUB....THIS WAY OUT>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

peace out man.... done wasting my time....

bbms1000 12-03-2007 07:06 PM

When people are scammed they get upset, like I said before we can't all save the world but united we stand and devided we get no where. Listen everyone, we all enjoy the same things Horsepower and speed or we wouldn't be here on this site. !!!!! Stick together and enjoy the speed in life, everyone will crash someday, scammers will total 8) I have enjoyed many nights searching for something new or a different combo, It is in my blood and won't leave. My father just pasted away from cancer and at 74 he still enjoyed going fast and life right to the end. I baught a 67 chevelle because we built two when I was 16. When he got sick it was fast, I thaught we could enjoy that but it didn't happen, at least a few more trips to town or around just to hear the sound. Now all I have are memories of the shop, and Dad saying listen to me kid I won't steer you wrong. He never did. !!! I'll get over my being scammed and move on. Just like another motor, crank, rod, just rebuild and get smarter. Hope everyone on this site does the same. Have a Merry X-mas and believe me, alls those scammers out there don't sleep like I do at night. Work hard, Play Hard and be Honest. Thats what Dad always said.!!!!!!! 8) 8) Not like scammers He is with me everyday!!! 8) 8) 8) 8) :cry:

vincef 12-04-2007 07:40 PM

scorpio601 12-28-2007 05:58 PM

I read and re read all the things that yous have been bitching about on this post about racing junk not wanting to take resposibility for the guys that scammed yous. Heres a good question for yous...If you bought something from a person who put an add in a newspaper...and it turned out that you got scammed because it wasnt what the person who placed the add described it to be..Do you freak on the newspaper or the guy that sold it to you? The newspaper has no control over who is and who is not a scammer, just like racingjunk has no control..hell...for that matter, whats stopping someone who's been scamming people to come up with a whole new name and profile and start all over again?

If anyone has to worry about being scammed its me. I live in Northern Ontario Canada and I buy stuff off racingjunk due to the fact that good race parts are hard to come by for a decent price in Canada..So far i have purchased a complete race ready 514 BBf with powerglide off a guy in Nashville, A Jr. Dragster off another guy in Massachussetts, A spare tranny off another guy in New Orleans, A carb off a guy in Kentucky and other misc. stuff like MSD boxes, shifters, distributors Etc. The hard part for me is trusting someone that lives that far away from me...But..before i send them any big amout of money i get to know them a little, phone them a few times, find out where they work and stuff like that...When i purchased the engine i even phoned the bank that the guy dealt with and talked to the manager to see what kind of guy I was sending my money to...So far I have dealt with some good stand by there word kinda guys (except for one guy...but i learnt quick not to send my money to him)

Dont forget guys, I have to trust most of these people to crate these big items properly and have them shipped to me also. (ya i know...sucks to be me for living in Canada...ha ha ha)

But if/when i do get ripped off...I would never expect racingjunk to come to my rescue because it was not racingjunk that ripped me off.

One thing though that i would really like to see on racingjunk is a post that we can go to that lists in alphabetical order all the people that scammed honest racers...sometimes to find a person thats a scammer you have to go threw anywhere from 1 to 10 pages and read a ton of posts to see if the guy your attempting to purchase something off has scammed someone else...then if it turns out that person is not a scammer, then his name can be removed by racingjunk staff...OR...we should all be forced to use our real names...that way if your in doubt if the guy is for real...phone the phone company and see if theres a guy with a specific name living in a certain city/town with a phone number..Then before the person is allowed to post anything for sale, racingjunk can accually check out the guys info to see if he is for real...Of course there will always be a few that slimes there way threw the cracks...but this might stop alot of the scamming.

These are just a few ways of making it alot safer for the guys that get scammed...And yes...i do feel for the people that get scammed out of there hard earned pay to some low life dick weed that only knows how to rip off good folks.

Thanks for your time :>)
