mywickedshelby Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 I think the vendor should have been exposed immediately , all those in favor say I............ EDIT: For all those who have been following the vendor fraud thread, the vendor responsible according to Cobra Dee is Bangastang.com. Be guided accordingly.! (AND I STILL SAY I!)

TheKurgan Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Well he exposed the vendor so I give him credit for that. Using folks in this forum to scare the guy out was not cool though. I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snakebit Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Personally I see it differently. Cobra Dee asked for advice. He also offered to respond to anybody that sent a PM. I did so and he responded. Regrettably the subject was not B.S. A concern of two TS members that know the vendor, and have had numerous conversations and business dealings with him, was to be given an opportunity to contact him and try to help resolve the issue before posting the company name. The vendor has had quite a few customers on this forum and has had an excellent reputation for customer service prior to this. It was his prior reputation that bought the 24 hours, again with the hope that it could be worked out for ALL customers before it really hit the fan. Calls to his business phone go unanswered, e-mails are bounced back with 'office closed due to family emergency' and the hope was there could be resolution of some kind. The people that know him best have been unable to reach him and therefore Cobra Dee did provide the vendor name. Once again, he asked for advise and was asked for additional time to intercede by members that know the man and didn't understand how his business had taken this course.

If he wanted input from members that knew the man then he should of used PM. It would not of been hard to determine who those people were by reading old threads. The purpose of his thread was to intimidate the guy into refunding his money...along with using other people's support here.(which he knew he would get) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ati Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Just a heads up to everyone. If this guy BANGASTANG is in trouble and scamming money from credit cards or debit cards I caution any past customers who used their CC to pay for their purchase to watch their account for any fraudulent charges from him.

Shelbyite Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 i agree with wicked shelby 100 percent. this was botched from the start. from the guy posting to locking the forum after the guy mentioned that it was bangastang. he put that at the end of a long paragraph. if you legitamally have a problem with a vendor try to work it out first, but dont post like cobra dee did and get everybody fired up.

09alloy Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Not sure I agree with how this whole thing was handled....I think Dee might have jumped the gun. My painted radiator cover came in last week from Bangastang after waiting 7 weeks...the real kicker is, it was the wrong color!! I will give Hendrix credit in that he did refund my money for the paint and was very professional and handled the problem promptly. Not sure we can pass judgement at this point until Hendrix can tell his side of the story or at least defend himself...maybe there truly is a family emergency and this business and lively hood are being trashed while he deals with whatever personal issue he might have. The short of it is, wait for judgement until we have all the facts, never use a debit card and always have your parts painted locally!!! Have a grand weekend everyone!

Why are you still using my card knowing that you won't be able to deliver the goods?
