I recently bought some 18degree stuff off DiamondK11. I sent him a certified check and he was supposed to send the stuff the next day. That was over a week ago and haven't heard from him since. He will not anwer his calls and won't return mine. He copies pictures from other sites and sells the stuff as his own. He will call you and tell you all about the stuff, then disapear when he gets his money. He has three other items for sale on this site now, don't do business with this guy. He is scamming all us racers. Be careful.

This is the trouble with making complaints like this,not enough info is supplyed.
I did a little research on this guy in 2 minutes and his profile says he is from Newark,NJ and his phone number says he is in West Palm Beach, Florida,as well in his adds state the same.He also is a fairly new member.
Some times the deals people post are too good to be true,people need to do their home work,Its too late to come here and complain when the mail doesn't come.
Beware,and come ask questions in the forum before you send people your hard earned money,not after the fact,sorry,hope you get your money or parts
Maybe you can post up more info to the seller besides a handle name and where you sent the money to.
Looking at the add he posted along with his profile,I would stay far away from this guy. There is alot of new CRJ members and seems to be only a drop in the hat for a member like this to invest 49.95 for a membership and rip good people off 1000's of dollars.
Here is the link.

Michael Anthony

This is really sad!! This guy just keeps on ripping off people and the USPS postal inspector is supposedly going to make an arrest any day as he told me and they are watching his every move supposedly but this keeps on happening! I am just furious about it! I think I will call Mr Lamb for an update of B.S. about how they are "On top of it".
Here is what you should do:
Contact the IC3 internet fraud division and file a report with them, you can do that online. (Although i dont know what good it does)
Next, contact Postal inspector James Lamb 516 228 7678 and give him your story. WE NEED TO BUST THIS CROOK SOB!! Sorry you got ripped but I hope you learned something from it, I know I did.

I have been doing some searching on Google this morning and this is what I have up with. The address I sent the money to belongs to a company named My Car Carrier it is an auto transport company. I have called and also sent an email to there contact email address on there website. The person that signed for the money I sent was a J. Santiago. I called and it went straight to a voice mailbox for a guy name John, maybe this is the same person. I will see about filling a report. I will also keep calling this new number until they either answer or call me back.

I can't believe as much stuff Racejunk sells on here they can't do anything about these scum bags, Micheal Anthony is going to get caught. :evil: This is not right when racejunk knows of these people and don't do a thing about it.

He won't answer that number. It's the same number he gave me, but he hasn't got the guts to answer it. He told me his name is Michael Aviles, but again, he's too chicken to give his real name and talk to anybody like a man. I'll find him.....................rest assured.

Guys, you need to be careful here. In every State in the Union if you threaten bodily harm to someone you can be found guilty of assault. I have removed offending statements from the above post which was in conflict with RJ's terms and conditions for posting.

He got me for $1200 last week. He was suppposed to send me a new Richmond 6 speed trans COD but after checking with UPS (supposedly) he said it would delay his receipt of funds for too long, so I went ahead and sent him a $1200 deposit, with the balance to be paid COD upon receipt of the trans.
This guy HAS to be stopped. My local Law Enforcement agency has all the details on my failed transaction and they are working on it. I will share any information I have for anything anyone else has.

I have to Appollagize for my actions, these kind of people steam me. I am old school and some of these people need a good Kicking. I have never been scammed before , I am an honest hard working person and know what it is to earn money. Maybe we need to turn these people around and find them a job. I would never dream of scamming someone out of money, maybe I am just to trust worthy. It is the way I was raised, work Hard and be honest. So again I have to appollagize for my actions to everyone on this site because it has braught me plenty of pleasure and deals as well as sales. Sorry again for my tempor. 8)

As I said on another post, He has been arrested, charged and released on bail. The postal inspector said it could take months to finally get him in jail. Until then he is still out there so be careful.

Just received this message from the US Postal Inspector........
"Michael Aviles was arrested on Jan 12 in Fort Lauderdale for grand theft
auto. He is still sitting in jail. We're waiting for the state attorney
in Florida to present charges against him and then we'll have our turn."
Maybe justice WILL prevail!!!!! :D :!:
