Well, American Express is reviewing the issues as well as MAKING PayPal look into it. (I love my Amex card for so many reasons and this being one of them). The person from Amex said that if it's decided in my favor, they will refund me the money and go after the seller themselves ( I bet they have a crap load of lawyers just sitting around waiting for stuff like this). I was also told that since PayPal is being forced to look into the issue and if they (PayPal) decides in my favor, they will try and recover the money for Amex. If the funds are not there, the account will be suspended.

I've spoke to someone from the Internet Crime Complaint Center and was told they are looking into the issue and thanked me for all the documentation I gave them. I was told it takes time because of all the other cases they are currently investigating.


I do have a few other things in the works, but would rather not mention them at this time.

I received a PM saying that Dru (xplicitperformance) was removed as a mod over on westsidemustangs for deleting the post about this issue over there.

I second that. No reason for this guy to be in our community...... Can we get a response from the mods?

if you put an "unauthorized signature" you will get a faster mod interaction, don’t want to **** off the sponsors, but someone here truly ripping people off is allowed to roam free! what gives !!

The mods have never cared about this section. The last time a mod visited this board he was simply posting rules for everyone who was helping to follow.

I'll report my own post as Spam. Maybe a mod will pay attention. Instaban?

I am glad someone called this guy out, I am new to texas and was looking for new mechanics good thing people like this get weeded out on the thread.

One thing I noticed about his site that I notice about alot of other SCAMMER sites, is they always seem to be UNDER construction. be weary of a website that says this, also a business that cannot produce pictures of the part they are selling is shady for sure.

Case in point, RevXtreme sold me a race built rear end they were traded from a customer, that had no idea what it was built with, but did tell me the gera size, and provided pictures when I asked and were very helpful. They also sold it to me for a very resonable price since they were unsure of its build properties I got a great deal. I am sure that even if there was a issue they would of found a way to make up for it. That is how business is done.

This guy never had intentions of paying you the money, I am sure he figured after two months you had installed it and were none the wiser, He also figured you would not take it this far, because most do not, so that is why he said if you can prove it he would refund you the money, probably figuring you would drop it there.

This guy is a piece of crap, and if I find out what GARAGE he works out of I will have some signs posted up, also I will destroy is reputation in the miltary community and on every car forum I can

Unfortunetly what he will do is what most of these scammers do, have another temporary website made on a new server under a new name and continue doing the same shady things.

What? How about because he's a douche that rips everybody off for being a reason?!? Seriously though, for 3k, I would be knocking his door down, no doubt about it. I haven't checked lately but i'm sure he's still a member on this site. Since the mods haven't responded to our posts about having him banned, I assume he's still an outstanding citizen....

Sorry to hear about your issue! I would post everything in its entirety here (in another thread) as well as post your issues on westsidemustangs.com and Htownracing.com. Those sites seem to be somewhat local to him and could help you with getting your money back.

I agree with Martin. If it had been 3K I had been ripped off, I'd be flying out there to get my money in person.

Shoot me a PM and I'll give you all the info I have on him.

I got your other message and have no issue making a statement on your behalf if you decide to persue legal action, but I'm going to need the same thing from you. I'd like you to snail mail me a letter stating (in detail) that you were riped off by Xplicitperformance with your signature and I will do the same for you. By you doing this for me will help me in my case with him as I will fax your letter to the agencies I've been dealing with as well as help me if I take legal action.

Edit: I'm going to need you to do the thing I asked in the PM before I do anything.

So why hasn't someone gone down to Texas and take $410 worth of teeth? Or in the other guys case, $3000. Diplomacy can only go so far.

Good luck to the OP.
