Re: Members Alert!! Fraud cases in forum
Thanks bro steven for helping to bring up the matter.
Forum user X.P initially wanted to sell me his bodykit and eisenmann exhaust, claiming he can provide a 'combo' package. I was only interested in the exhaust, since i had planned to purchase the kit from either Js or SWC. However, when we met up for coffee the following week, X.P kept discouraging me from purchasing from either workshops, claiming that they were not original and not of 'standard'(workmanship not good). He offered a reasonable price, and even had 'proof of purchase' from M.A of his original aerokit. He kept bugging me on the purchase, and used excuses like ' shifting house, selling car soon, other buyers waiting for reply'. After a few days, i agreed. When i met X.P to pass him the deposit, he started to come out with more excuses like: 'my gf needs a new nescafe machine etc, can pass me 1k instead of 500?' and kept assuring me that he wouldnt 'run' me since i knew his nick,number,address etc. I didnt think much to it and out of goodwill, i passed him the 1k deposit.
A few days later, he found out that the exhaust could not fit my car model, and so he recommended me to purchase a new Eisenmann Exhaust from C workshop. I called all workshops to enquire on the price, and C workshop was the cheapest. So i went down to kakit bukit to this workshop. When i was there, sales assistant F told me Eisenmann Sports was LTA approved and paperwork everything is provided upon purchase. Only downside is that its self installation. He even made the approval steps sound so simple and easy. F even said that it will take 2-4 weeks to deliver, MAX 4 WEEKS. I ordered my Eisenmann Sports on the 19th march 2013. Till today, item yet to be received. I wanted to speak to the owner of the workshop but apparently Mr. Z is never around, and he doesnt pick up calls.
When i heard about bro hengster's case about 2 weeks back, i called C workshop immediately since both exhausts were purchased from the same place. Sales assistant F assured me mine was legal, but he told me that i have to pay an extra 150dollars for paperwork approval. I was rather unhappy, since these hidden costs only come about after the deposit is paid. Im trying to get a refund of my deposit back from C workshop now.
Back to Mr. fat (X.P), he passed me his CF diffuser, and handed over the kit to me and left. When i wanted to collect the kit from the workshop, i was slapped with an extra 350 dollars fee. Apparently X.P had not paid the dekitting fee, and told the workshop owner that i would help to foot the bill. Long story short, i went to his place, got back my money, and he agreed to compensate me with the existing replica kit that he sold to me.
The next day, i received a called from Hougang NPP, asking me of my involvement in a harassment case. This f*cker actually called the police to say that i went to his place to harass/blackmail him.
Morale of the Story: dont trust people that easily, even if they are fellow forummers or site sponsors. They can be site sponsors but that doesnt mean that they arent f*cked up. I hope my case will help serve as a strong reminder to other users to learn to make discerning choices in item purchasing. ( Go to the ones that the old timers recommend, they are usually more trustable)
And to the other victims who bought X.P 's other parts ie BBK, you should have found out by now that its not original as well.

Re: Members Alert!! Fraud cases in forum
Crooks are everywhere. Be it workshop or seller..... Have a seller who still owe me $100 for my deposit since 2011, have people that still owe me items I paid for. Have workshops that lure u in n slice u bit by bit. Ouch. But is all part of learning process. Sometimes people sell things that they dun even know because they bought it from someone else who smoke them.... It's never ending. Just gotta be careful. Is just how much we pay for the experience. Cheers.
