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.

Why does racingjunk keep allowing them to keep posting ads?
Maybe they should monitor it a little better.

How does Racing Junk make anyone send money??? You choose to send your money to a scammer. Now that it is all said in done, you want to complain here. Post the ad info. Tell us who the scammer is. Where did you send your money? Next time be a little more proactive to avoid scams.

You should have come here before you sent the money, not after. Did someone from rj come to you with a gun and demand you sent a ghost some money. Do your home work, first!

I agree with the above except for the fact of calling the guy a moron. He might be but the administrator shouldn't call names. The internet is the greatest and also the worst place to shop. Its all on the honor system. Do your homework before you make a deal. If someone seems the least bit shady stay away. I do think there should be a little more done to protect the uninformed. Maybe put a sticky at the top of every for sale page with the basic warnings. I will not buy anything without looking at it first. Luckily for me the car I was interested in was close enough to go look at. Lets just say the pictures did it a world of good. I would have been so disappointed if that car was delivered to me.

There are stickies all over the place and pages of posts warning others of these scammers. The problem is that no one reads them until after the fact and then it's too late. How many guys do you see where their first post ever on the forum is a complaint that they got scammed. That first post could have easily been a question about whether anyone has done business with so and so. Then they would have gotten informed BEFORE they got scammed.
Also, those of us here in the forum have no control over the placement of ads. That is an open system where anyone can place an ad. Do your homework guys. It's called due dilligence. You owe it to yourselves. Get references. Use COD or an escrow service if you don't know who you are dealing with.
Now you can mark my word that someone will come on here having never read what I just posted and make his first post that says, "I GOT SCAMMED!!!"

I see your point about most peoples first post on here being a I Got Scammed Post...But...I have made a few posts on this site myself...and I have never posted a I Got Scammed Post...What I have posted is the names of the people that I have had great dealings with...maybe more people should be posting about the good guys and not always about the bad guys.

I've been on this site for a while now and never knew this part of it existed until recently. That is why I said put a sticky at the top of each category with warnings. I make an honor payment when I sell something in addition to monthly dues. I have noticed alot of people that I've bought from don't make an honor payment afterwards. Also all of my friends that surf this site don't even know this section exists. I'm also a member of corral.net and scammers run rampant on there also but if you appear to be shady they will kick you off in a minute. I believe in zero tolerance.

:shock: I can't believe the site addministrator called me a MORON ??? I am sorry but this is your site to run, I have baught lots of parts off your site, Again maybe I am just to honest of a person. Sorry we are not in it all for the money, I have had a lot of enjoying buying moments and a very few selling, but I am a man of my word!! thats all i am asking is for someone to watch these scamming people. We as racers, hotrodders or just the enthuesiest should all stick together and help each other out. If you live in an area where someone has been scammed, step forward and take some of our presious time and help out. I think alot of this would stop if these jerks knew we would all stick together to make this a better , safer place to have some H.P. fun, race, win, lose, build bigger faster or whatever your budget will allow. This is what it has always been about. 8) I will talk with anybody on the site about how it can be made a safer funner place for all, any other suggestions I think we should all send them to our administrator's. :wink: Thanks Matt

I can't believe you put words in my mouth,You said I said it was alright to take another mans money
Gee thanks for taking reading classes,you made one hell of an appearance here for some thats been on the site since 2004~ hint-hint
Try coming in here before you send the mail not after.
But you did make quite a fool of yourself you must be taking your medication now huh?
Like I said before stop typing and start reading before you fire up the ole keyboard
Some guys need to think before they type and your one of them
and you know what,I call a spade a spade and you was being a moron.
Oh and yeah how come you have no profile so I can check you out,I'd like to see just how honest a guy you really are.

Come on Matt post up a link to one of your add's I'd like to looker over

Make it easy on yourself cause I'll be watching for you,but with that said anyone that has been on this site since 2004 and and sends Micheal Anthony money on Noverber 17 2007 must not have been paying attention to the forum.

Matt don't take this the wrong way now,
I am here to help people as yourself,I am on your side of the things,I am no scammer I pay my CRJ fees,I pay my honor payments every time I have sold some thing on Racing Junk.
Infact I got 22 honor payments, how many do you have my friend? This is not a trick question either. I have proof,do you?
I just Help run the forum here to help educate people from being scammed,
Like I said I cannot predict the future but I can help make someone future a little brighter here,Do you understand any of this?
I'll tell you what Matt,I'll make a poll here if you'd like on Micheal Anthony and it will have 2 questions on it a yes and a no
Who would send their hard earned money to Micheal Anthony here in the forum
I bet I get 100% NO answers here in the forum.Reading the forum helps but if you don't read it as yourself did in the past your going to get taken.
Do you want me to make the POLL Matt so you can Vote now?
Now quit pointing all 3 fingers at me I am trying to help you here.And don't call me some thing that I am not.
Do you want me to call you a moron again?Think before you type
Now get me the info I wanted,PROFILE
Show all these people how honest you really are,hurry up and make it Matt,I am still waiting

I have only tried to put across how important it is to help fellow racers out in time of need, Racejunk just seems to want to argue or think your slamming them, I am tired and going to bed, put this all in your bank!!! If you read this and for a minute think I have scammed anyone, hurt anyone or been dishonest to anyone let me or racejunk know, have not had any bad reply's on my end?????????????? Matt

And besides that you can't read you just type and tell everyone what type of guy you are

He is not a bad person, I have known matt for 25 years ( wow I am getting old ) but he is not a disohnest person by no means just got scammed by some assclown on here like alot of other people have. I would think that somehow racejunk could keep them from posting ad's on here I dont know but maybe they can not. If you can not then it maybe something you may want to look into. I do post ad's on here but I end up selling it on other sites and before I delete it from here I have posted that first. These post on here are suppose to be for helping each other out not arguing back and forth.
Just my $.02
ps I dont have a profile either does that make me a disohnest person?

Matt I am a straight shooter I just tell it like it is.
Oh so your going to threaten me too now Matt I am scared,I never once said you was dishonest.Not once,but I do think your hiding some thing.
But I see you had to come up with more original name slinging so it must be getting more closer to the truth what you really are.
But I can tell you Matt I have been taken by a scammer here for 15K dollars and I never came in here screaming like you did or do.
I just looked in the mirror because I didn't have no one to blame but my self,Yes I got took and never got it back,but I'll tell you one thing my friend,they will never do it to me again,I am alot wiser now.
So your barking up the wrong tree my friend I am only here to help,and this is the first time i ever said any thing about me getting scammed.But I learned from it.
We learn from out mistakes and try to pass it on to others,thats what its all about.

And I won't cowl down to you either,I'll just help keep bring you back here to read whats going on here in the REAL every day life happenings.
Keep coming back and keeping up on whats going on.
Now go take you MIDOL and come back in the morning.
Oh and the x-wife thing,I don't blame her for leaving your dead a$$ either,you probaly threaten her once too many times. Maybe you bought her some new glasses and she realized what an ugly uneducated moron you really are

Why does racingjunk keep allowing them to keep posting ads?
Maybe they should monitor it a little better.
do you know how many people post on RJ? do you know how much man power it would take to keep up with every ad posted? people can change there usernames as easy as logging on. there is noway to keep up with one person with the odds stacked against you like this.your best defense is to come in here and look in the scammer section for the good as well as the bad people.

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.....

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.

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......

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?

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>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

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......

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

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.

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)

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>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

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:

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 :>)
