Getting ripped off and what can be done!!

[Monty Mikho]

Hey guys/gals, although most everyone seems to be honest, we will sometimes run into some low life who wants your hard earned money. What can be done?

You can file a claim in the YB.com Negative seller/buyer feedback section to alert others on the board

You should also file a claim with www.ripoffreport.com (http://www.ripoffreport.com) to make the alert more widespread. Please read that board as it has a lot of useful information.

Last you can file a claim with www.ic3.gov (http://www.ic3.gov) who works with the FBI and National White Collar Crime Center. Claims can be files on behalf of someone or as a group if needed.

When buying or selling anything please collect as much information from the person on the other end as possible. Things like home address (No PO boxes), phone number, full name and also check in the feedback section and with other members on their experiences. This will save a lot of headaches!!!

YB.com will not stand for the bullshit that has happened in a couple of instances. I will provide all information to the authorities. The buck stops at YB.com and we will not back down to any low life scumbag!!!!!

Hell Yeah Monty!!!! This is what I'm talkin bout.

It just sucks that a few bad apples have to ruin shit for the majority of people looking for a deal or selling parts they no longer need. Again I believe the members here are more like family than just another site member. We will all work together to make shit like this stop!!! And people can bet their asses on that!!!

I say we take the scumbags to the track, strip 'em naked, and tie their ankles to the back of a Top Fueler. Then post the pics of what happens when you rip people off. That might get a point across.

Hey I got ripped off last week buy a chassis guy in the Ramona, CA. area. Spent $4,000 bucks and he gave me a 25.5 cage that wont even cert for 10.0 and didnt do half the work he said he was going to do. What work he did do looks like a 5th grader did it. Is this where I could post about him to let all know. Please let me know.

Oh and as you can probably figure he wont answer my phone calls or return any.

Go to the post negative/positive feedback section, its near the bottom. Got any pics of the cage maybe I can help you.

Yeah I have pics of it. Some of the things I cant show you like 22 welds unfinished and only 4 of them gusseted. Where would be a good place to send some pics. Im kind of lost right now because I spent an ass load of money with this guy and I was really hoping to get a bulk of the big projects done and now I think I went back a few steps, so any help at least advice would be GREATLY apperciated.

This is my first post on YB since I've just been lurking, reading and learning. Anyway, this might be helpful to some. I learned this about 10 years ago when I started doing business over the internet. If you can, always pay w/ a postal money order and send it certified. This protects you as the buyer because there is a record of sending it and if the seller signs there is a record of them receiving. Also, if shit goes south, since the post office is already involved in the fraud, they do not have to be subpoened. I hope this helps.

Later,

Once your black marked in a Forum as large and as popular as Yellowbullet's your screwed... word of mouth travels far.

We have no problem showing who the people who screw people are. We can just as easily hide the fact there are crooks out there. But hiding such things doesn't mean it doesn't exist. This has happened on a lot of other sites. The admins there didn't care to help the members out and hide the fact it did happen.. If we are black marked.. That is OK with me. Hope no one feels as anywhere is 100% safeguarded.

I think you misunderstood me. my "black marked" comment is directed to the crooks and scam artists out there trying to rip people off. I am not referring to Yellowbullet. You guys have a great site and I enjoy browsing your forums.:)

Sorry dude I totally misunderstood. I honestly wish one of the guys getting ripped off files a claim. Would be nice to get that phucker off the streets and also off our tracks!!
