Just a heads up people.
I have been dealing with a "member" on RJ since Oct 2011 on a TCI converter and B&M Pro Stick shifter. I sent him a money order(big mistake on my part) because he said he wasn't set up for Paypal. Well,the red flags should have been flying right there but silly me have trust in people and have never had a problem dealing with the fine people here on RJ. Evertime I messaged this so called member I got the runaround and he was skirting my questions saying the parts were shipped and that he had tracking numbers to prove it. Kinda funny but everytime I asked for the tracking numbers he came up with yet another excuse. He even tried to say that the parts were on their way but for some reason the mailing address was torn off and the shifter was sent back to him. Supposedly he said he resent the shifter to me but no parts arrived,not even a tracking number that I requested.

So people,beware if you have any dealings with a member from Markham Texas who goes under the username GARAYRACING. His name is JOE GARAY and if you know him,you know a bad person. If you don't know him,keep it that way. It will save you grief and money.

I sent him a message with the link to this thread, lets sit back and see the drama unfold.. :roll:

Harbone

Well I see him looking in here at 7:50am, wonder if he will reply?

Harbone

I have not hear anything about him on RJ but he is banned on the NastyZ28 forum for some reason

Here is a link where he ripped someone off on another forum
http://www.camaros.net/forums/archiv.../t-185116.html

Well isn't that something.He has been ripping people off all over and he should be stopped but I have no idea how to find someone from a box number.
I wonder if the people on his friends list knows what kind of person he is?
I just hope he gets caught and someone teaches him a lesson.

Julianthe3rd, thanks for sending him the link as it should be interesting to see if he has anything to say.

harbone66,he is a classic con from the camaro forum,thanks for posting that info.

There is a guy on the forum that says he bought some stuff from you and you never shipped it? After a little research it seems you have a reputation on some other forums for doing the same thing!
I suggest you ship the man his parts...

they have been shipped


Have you heard anything from him?

i have the parts they came back again..i have tried to ship out of country and i will never do it again...here is our emails ,i am not hiding
Another week has gone by and still no parts. Surprise,surprise. You say you are losing parts,well you have tracking numbers for the post office to find them. Or,my bet is there never was any tracking numbers because there was never any parts sent.
I guess we will see what happens in the next couple weeks if you refund me or not. My feeling is you won't.

A few more messages before that you said if the converter didn't show up in two weeks you would refund that,it's been over a month. I bet you never asked the post office why they can't find these parts.

When I got your message on Dec 29th you told me you were going to get a tracking number on the shipment,did you get one? If so,you should be able to tell where the package is. I still think I am getting the run around and will never see these parts or the hard earned money that I likely won't see back either. It's a little tough being open minded about this deal seeing as the only one that came out ahead was you.

I wonder if the wrong address was put on the packages or to heavy. Anyway let me know what you find out because I would sure like to get my parts or if nothing else a refund. This has been going on way to long already.

I'm sure you would even like to know how well they are doing getting across the states and into Canada. If so,you can message the tracking numbers when you let me know they are on the way.
