Default Been scammed...Honda GSR aka: Signal24 aka:BoostedSixthGen.. Alex Prochnow.. Read..

Well here is the deal. I bought some Progress Springs for my EG Hatch off of this guy. It's been almost 1 month now and still nothing. Haven't heard a pep from him. His e-mail doesn't work nor does he answer my IM's. He had a Vouch thread for himself and from the looks of it 6 people vouched for him. Well since 6 people already vouched for him, I trusted Alex and sent him a MO of $110 as we agreed. A week goes by and finally I hear from him saying he was out of town and had to take care of some family things. haha yeah right... Funny thing is I am not the only one that has been scammed by this 17 year old kid... 2 other people bought things from him and they have been waiting longer than I have. Another thing that caught my eye was he changed his screen name 3 times on here since I sent him the MO. Well to the people who vouched him, is it all bullshit???? I dunno.. All have to say about this kid is don't buy from **** from him. Well until myself and the others recieve or things, I will take his ******* name off these boards.

Alex Prochnow
53 Conventry Ln.
Aliso Viejo, Ca. 92656

here is the Vouch thread for him, lol...

(3:22 AM 8/16/2003) sPaRk'iT: Com'on Alex im going easy on you, why arent replying back to my IM's?.... all you have to do is, send me my muffler or my money back, everything will be cool!

(6:15 PM 8/17/2003) sPaRk'iT: i give you til Monday to answer me back, or your name is up.

(5:31 AM 8/21/2003) sPaRk'iT: now that im ****, your name is gonna be up, and you better watch out fool, i live in cali too, dont think that i cant do ****. Better yet send me my muffler, or **** is gonna happen, just watch.


this is how **** i am! he change his name so many times, dont buy stuff from this guy, and if anyone lives close by him and can help please tell that fool to send out our stuff, or make him to or something, if i was there ill beat the **** outta him! i just want my money back, or still if he just send me the muffler, everything will be cool.

Lets all get together and go to Aliso Viejo & show him what we think of low life scammers! I never bought anything from this dude but I am willing to join you guys to go visit him.

Scammers are worse than the cliff-hanger **** that won't fall into the damn bowl!!!

I am sure we can. Well I am going down to LA in 2-3 weeks with my little brother to get his Hondata tuned at some shop called Church(something). So when he sees me, my litte brother and my other at his front doorstep he better give me my springs or my money back. That is all i want. If it comes down to beating his ***, which I am hoping it won't, so be it...

Samehere Alex. Send me my Progress springs or my money back and I will delete everything that I posted about you and I will still vouch for you. The springs should've been sent out ASAP when you recieved the MO. That is how it works man. I will also keep everyone updated on what is going on.

Since you sent payment through the mail, and he was most likely going to send the products USPS, you can get in touch with the U.S. Postal Inspectors. I've been on the trail of a guy that scammed me, and sadly I didn't use the mail, but a detective I talked to said this is the best bet because they are national, in every city, so there isn't any deal about jurisdiction and what-not. They're apparently pretty serious, and good at this, since basically all they deal with is fraud of one form or another.

How do me and the 2 other guys that bought things from him have it wrong? It's been 3 weeks for me and I dunno how long the other 2 have been waiting. I sent Alex the MO for $110 as we agreed. 3 weeks have gone by and still I haven't recieved my Progress Springs for my EG hatch. Are you saying that I have it all wrong?
