And last, but not least, I guess at one point he wasn't such a scammer: http://www.itsmyscion.com/post/613

Oh... and there is no "they" it's just some ******* 20 year old "making" these damn things.

Yea. I don't even want product at this point. Just my damn money.

Here are other forums where he has taken orders, and not filled them (topics linked):

http://www.newtiburon.com/forums/sho...=142801&page=2

http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=157931

http://www.mitsubishi-forums.com/ind...c=38493&st=100

Does he really expect to fill all these orders?

Surely he would complete the orders of people who HAVE ALREADY SENT HIM MONEY, before he tries to take more orders?

This guy is either an INTOLERABLY poor businessman, or a thief.

On one forum, someone placed an order in JULY and STILL has not received anything.

Oh, and these are NOT "custom molded bla bla ******* bla" that he claims



It's just the damn push plugs that go in your interior panels, painted, and then you glue the ******* things on. No thanks.

I want money. That's it. Period.

I have copypasta'd this:

WARNING SCAMMER ALERT

THIS GUY HAS BEEN POSTING THESE THREADS ON LOTS OF CAR WEBSITES, TAKING LOTS OF ORDERS AND GETTING LOTS OF MONEY, AND BARELY SENDING OUT ANYTHING, AND HAS BEEN DOING IT FOR MONTHS NOW.

HE IS STILL CONTINUING TO TAKE ORDERS AND TAKE PEOPLE'S MONEY, RATHER THAN COMPLETE ORDERS FOR THE MONEY HE HAS ALREADY RECEIVED


I found this forum and this thread through trying to Google information about this guy.

I come here from Cobaltss.net, where this guy started a thread exactly like this one on 08/22/08.

I sent him around the area of $45 on 10/14/08, and made a mistake on the order form, so I e-mailed his customer service e-mail AND sent him a personal PM minutes after I placed the order. I have NOT received ANY word back, have not received any refund for the order I wanted to cancel, and have not received anything that I did order.

Most other members on our forum are growing angry and suspicious, most have not received anything at all, nor any customer service replies except for excuses, and one of the only people who DID receive something received the WRONG COLOR. The member who received the wrong color reported that instead of the Sunburst Metallic Orange he ordered, they appeared to be spray-painted with a generic orange.

I wanted to give this guy the benefit of the doubt, but it's hard when he's giving everyone on Cobaltss.net excuses about why he hasn't completed our orders, yet he is taking orders on this website as late as TODAY.

Surely a legit businessman would complete the orders that he's already gotten, especially for people WHO HAVE ALREADY PAID HIM, before he tries to get more orders?

I see a very LONG list of Camaro owners who want to send this guy money, all with different and unique colors, and I seriously doubt this guy is going to deliver. I might think differently if he completed all his Cobaltss.net orders before trying to shovel MORE **** on his plate, but this sounds like a two-bit scheme to me.

Here is the thread on Cobaltss.net in which people are becoming suspicious and angry:

https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/showthread.php?t=140454

He has yet to provide any answers to anyone on our website, answers to the people WHO HAVE ALREADY PAID HIM. He finds it a higher priority to GET MORE PEOPLE TO SEND HIM MONEY, than to COMPLETE ORDERS THAT HAVE ALREADY PAID HIM?

I encourage everyone to NOT deal with this guy. He is either a scammer or a poor, seemingly dishonest businessman.

I will be filing a paypal dispute tomorrow.

Other forums where he has taken a lot of orders, and not filled them (topics linked):

http://www.mitsubishi-forums.com/ind...c=38493&st=100

to Scionlife, NewTiburon and Camaro5. I tried to post it on RX8Club and Mitsu-forums, but their registration system is fucked up.

I've been talking with him. I ordered a set and it's been almost a month. I told him that if I don't receive a tracking number by this Friday, I'm filing a claim through PayPal to get my money back. He has promised me a tracking number by today and I've received nothing. I'm very upset, but at least he's responding to me. He says it's the post office screwing things up...but I don't know. I just know that if I don't receive a tracking number for my order by the end of the week, I'm getting my money back. It just seems like it's excuse after excuse to me...but I really don't know.

People on ScionLife have been waiting 8 months.

When people are waiting 8 MONTHS, you don't CONTINUE TAKING ORDERS YOU CAN'T FILL, you concentrate on filling the orders you've already gotten.

This guy is BULLSHIT, AND I AM PISSED OFF.

Don't trust him, don't listen to him, this is a typical online scam. They take your money, make excuses so you have faith in them, then after the 45 days expire, they take your money and run.

File a dispute right now. If you get the plugs, then cancel the dispute. Simple as that.

Oh, and since this guy is obviously never going to come though on this, i decided to look up some DIY spoiler plugs. They're SUPER easy to make, here:

Go to lowes, home depot, whatever, and find 1” nylon hole plug (On the package says made by hillman 1″ nylon hole plugs black. comes in quantity of 2 and costs like $1.39 for the pack. can be found in the drawers next to the nuts and bolts in the hardware section)

Paint said plug. Apply on car with clear silicon. Done.

Pisses me off. I really wanted trunk keyhole plugs, but I payed for door keyhole plugs, because I wanted to help the guy out. Do him a ******* favor.

Goddamn it...

Yeah...he just sent me your tracking number for "proof" that he's doing stuff. I told him once I receive my correct order, I'll cancel the dispute.

Unfortunately ikona312i is not a supporting vendor, therefor cannot advertise on the forum. Anyone that purchased items from them needs to handle there disputes via there payment method.

Furthermore ikona312i your entire signature is in violation of the forum rules and needs to be removed immediately.
