UPDATE:

I belong to several forums and some I post/frequent more often than others. One of the members of another forum who is local to Chrome_Rust called and guess what!!! He ANSWERED THE PHONE.

Charles gave a long story indicating he had to move twice (in three weeks!) and his wife is now bed ridden due to her pregnancy. He also said my harness was almost completed minus the EV6 style connectors and would call me after their conversation....yeah right. NO phone call, No text, No PM.


So, any members local to Chrome_Rust and/or know of another forum he posts on, please link this thread there and let the next guy know before he deals with this piece of sh*t.

Next week, his local authorities are going to be contacted. I'll keep this thread updated and appreciate the bumps to the top!

Also,

Thanks for allowing this thread to remain in the conversions-hybrids section.

I believe this is where most have gotten screwed by this guy and as a result was appropriate to make the thread here.

THANK YOU MODERATORS!

Yeah and the way he operates is through pm's.

His story sounds a lot like the one when "his wife" told me he was in a bad wreck and was in ICU. Was all a lie, and it was him emailing me the whole time.

before i banned Him on Hybrid Pony, i disabled his PM's after TXfireman1972 who is a moderator on my site warned me about this clown and how he operates under the radar through PM's. after chrome rust told me he was going to be an active member and "please dont ban" me i realized he had no intentions to participate other than to attempt to spread his shitty work around my forum. he was banned and then decided to tell me on my LSX mustang FB page that he didnt need the forum anyways becuase he had more important things to do...i guess he meant ripping people off...

if all he is waiting on is injector plugs then he is simply blowing you off..i ordered mine online, had them in 4 days and it took literally 20 minutes to solder and heat shrink them...

i would post this up on yellow bullet. i dealt with a scammer on corral and put it on yellow bullet and got positive results..

Ok, I'll do that this week. Thanks for posting in this thread with the above info.

Yeah, I know the line he fed to the fellow Ohio member was BS...just throwing it out there for everyone to see.

Not a peep from him...

This bastard got me for 348 dollars. That's including the moneygram fee.
I bought a junk yard harness and his rewire fee.
I knew a guy local in Indiana that had a harness from chalie. Said it worked.
But then this POS never sends my a harness and can not get ahold of him.
I am trying to seek legal action. But its very hard living in another state.
My local police say i have to make a police report were this ****** lives.
Called findlay ohio police, and they told me we are not going to go look for a guy that ripped you off online.
I have since then contacted a lawyer in ohio.
At this point i just want him in jail for theft.
