Maybe he didn't intend to scam, buy he has obviously made little effort not to scam everyone here.

There are several here that are giving him the benifit of the doubt and I'm sure if he had came along offering some explanation, and repayment many would be ok with that.

Otherwise, he may lose his job, risk prosecution and smearing of his name online, if his victims follow through.

I sure wouldn't let it go.

Re: Carbon Z28 Grille

Im not a favor of Wentzing people, but the kid has had a while now to come back and at least offer an explanation. Just an explanation would be enough of a sign of good faith for a lot of people... but he's just disappeared. That's wentzing territory when you have other people's money.

Re: Carbon Z28 Grille

I just now got a paypal message that he refunded my $100. There was no accompanying message. Would have preferred actually paying another 100 and getting the grille...oh well. Makes those of the people who got one more rare I guess

Re: Carbon Z28 Grille

Sounds like he has been checking in on this thread, to see how much the victims were going to do to try and get their money.
Twin turbo seems to be one of the few who wanted his money back and was trying to do something about it, and lo and behold, he got a refund.
I suggest others follow through as well.

Re: Carbon Z28 Grille

Well at least people that spoke up are getting money back finally.
Sorry for those who didnt get the grille.
I am like one of the only two people here that did get a grill, it is a nice piece and it sucks that matt couldnt get them done for all of us.

Yep, and possibly the email to his employer had something to do with it.
