I recently thought I was getting the deal of a lifetime on a supposed Quartersport h2b adapter kit from member TribusRacing..... I sent him payment of $525 to his paypal address: matcothomas@aol.com which is a different then listed on his profile here on honda-tech. The one listed here is Tribusracing@aol.com, neither of which I have ever seen online.

Well, unfortunately for me I felt uneasy about this sale and started doing a little research. The name of which I sent the paypal money to was to a Don Ince, who I searched on Google. Turns out a guy using the same name on another account on hondaswap.com was scamming people.

So I decided to search on his archived topics he created on HondaTech and find out he was selling a 'h2b' kit for the same price with the same story as to how he came across it.

This is what he posted on those threads:



Obviously nothing near to a Brand New Quarter Sport H2B adapter kit like he claimed...

In his new thread, the one that I noticed this is the picture he posted:



I asked him if he only had the plate or the whole kit over PM's:

(1:20 AM 2/20/2006) TribusRacing: new, quarter motorsports I belive, I didnt know hybrid racing even made one. Paypal addy is matcothomas@aol.com
(1:22 AM 2/20/2006) amy del sol: it didn't come with a box? Sorry, i just wanna make sure of what i'm getting, I heard hybrid racing was coming up with one also and I dont wanna get some cheap knock off stuff
(1:26 AM 2/20/2006) TribusRacing: I bought this from a guy that bought it brand new from Quarter MotorSports, that is why when you said Hybrid Racing, I didnt know what you were talking about. He bought it for 1000 dollars, he ran out of money on his project so I bought it from him for 800, Now I ran out of money and I need to dump it off so someone is going to get this for half off


TribusRacing, if you read this just refund my money on paypal. I already filed a dispute. Please don't even bother sending out some hacked up junk and calling it a kit.

they are not even called quarter motorsports...they're called quartersports drag or something...i tried buying that kit from him almost a year ago when he first posted it...he didnt even know who the hell quartersports was when i was asking him about it... for a scammer.

 

Yea, he hasn't answered me, I just want paypal to get me my money back that's all ..

and I learned my lessson, I will be buying mine from these guys:

http://www.quartersportsdrag.com/

I feel so ****** dumb right now

yupppppppppppp...

 

pm'd

 

thanks

 

no good amy! Sorry to hear about that. Hope you get your money!

Death to theives and scammers!

 

i live in washington...maybe that's why he didnt really wanna deal with me...because he kept insisting that he'll just ship it...anyways, hope you get your money back.

 

yeah he's been tryin to sell a lot of stuff here locally. didn't seem like a bad guy, but you never really know. i'm sure he'll get back to you? i haven't seen him post in the nw f/s section lately though. sometimes on craigs....

 

i just want my money back so i can go and buy one from some standup guys

 

amy,
good luck with paypal. i just got done filing a disputed claim because i was sent a head that was advertised as "brand new" and when i received it i got a used head.
paypal basically said that since it wasnt a problem with the product not being shipped to me or damaged goods that was shipped to me they cant do anything about it. they said if i bought it through ebay (which i didnt) that im supposed to take it up with ebay. otherwise resolve it with the seller. i think your **** outta luck on this one.

 

don't even try to file a claim with paypal they're not gonna help. just call ur credit card company/bank and tell them wat happen. it will get resolve a whole lot faster.

 

damn, i hate ****** that try to scam, luckily you went through paypal, and have a good chance of getting your money back, now i know where to get this kit from new so i can do this swap in the future once my b gets boring , i've won all of the disputes from paypal (5 all together) not sure why so many probs

 

Yea luckily my paypal account is through a Visa so they're usually pretty good about getting stuff back.... My boyfriend had some issues with some tool selling CF hoods that never ever came

 

well he just IMed me saying he's refunding my money...

 

glad to hear you're getting your dough back...i remember we had just talked about you getting this kit.

 

I hope to hear he's refunded you, soon..

 

good to hear that amy.

i told paypal i was going to cancel my account after this incident but ill keep paypal and when i purchase something ill have put it to my credit card. credit card companies are good at protecting their customers by taking the funds back.

 

glad your getting a refund

 

 

Did he refund the dough?

 

good ****
