He was supposed to fly to LA and buy the car already and have it delivered to me in the Seattle area.

I wired him the money a month ago, he's been in LA for over 2 weeks and I keep getting the run around.

Anybody else a victim of his shady practices?

Being a "friend" I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt to make this right. He did sign a contract and gave me an invoice and bill of sale so I have that.
money or material things should never be placed between friends unless you can consider it lost. people will fuck you over due to their stupidity and/or greed. we live life for ourselves, not for each other - we haven't evolved to that stage yet. but don't take shit from anybody, don't listen to that "eye for an eye..." crap, show him what rukus means

He sent me supposed pics of the car. Looks like a Canadian spec but is supposedly in LA. Does anybody recognize this showroom? I have a feeling he had one of his goons in BC go to a dealer and snap these pics.

LAWL.

His so called shop is in a sketchy East Van area too...

Intake / Exhaust Work
Exhaust install — $45 and up
Header install — $45 and up
Cold air intake install for RSX — $150 <-- Wut?

Electronics
Hondata install — $75
Apexi install (VAFC, RevSpeed, etc) — $55
Defi Gauge install — $100 and up <-- How is this more expensive than installing a AFC/RSM? It's just as easy.
LOLOLOL defi gauge install...

jmvdesign 09-09-2010 11:29 AM

q0192837465 09-09-2010 11:46 AM
wow, good luck man. I hate scammers. Hope u didnt go into debt to buy this car cuz otherwise it'll really suck

Peturbo 09-09-2010 12:30 PM
this guy is a scammer. I "knew" him personally. That shop is not even his, its somebody elses shop that he used to hang around claiming he runs it.
That picture posted was from 2 years ago, they have since moved out and cut ties with anthony cause he scmmed them out of money also.
I've heard of him scamming anything from $10 to $3000, but this is just fucked up....
i seriously don't know how this dude is still going.
He does not have a buisness licence or any of that shit, it's all lies to lure you in.
Hopefully you track him down.

post your story on 4chan, im sure he will be tracked down and be sent thousands of pizzas to his home within a week

jtanner_ 09-09-2010 12:37 PM
Best of luck with your situation... This has potential to be a memorable thread... Hopefully justice will be served.

1exotic 09-09-2010 12:39 PM
tell him, deliver my car by this time and date or I'm going to fucking sue you.

don't be nice to him, that's now how a business deal should go down (you give him 40g and he doesn't give a fuck).

yup. I think even his gf/fiance and his kid seriously believe he's legitly in the automotive buisness.

Normally I don't like posting peoples pictures, but this guy is a scammer. People need to know so they can avoid him.
This is his facebook.

^wow been posted on hall of shame many times

StylinRed 09-09-2010 01:18 PM
really?? i think it looks pretty sweet :/ (guess im biased cuz of the celica lights)



on a serious note though i hope you have your payment etc documented to him, i know you said you have a contract signed up

you should take him to court immediately it wouldn't affect the outcome because the suit can be canceled if you have delivery

but it can be a painstakingly long process; it isn't always but just so you know.

it makes far more sense and would hurt a lot more than say beating him up (especially if you get a lien on him etc ruin his credit yada yada he would be screwed for a loooong time)

jasonturbo 09-09-2010 02:06 PM
40k... sooo how many fingers do you get to cut off to settle the score on a 40k debt?

punkwax 09-09-2010 02:24 PM
8. Leave the thumbs.

hchang 09-09-2010 02:28 PM
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

I guess all of his friends think alike.
