Warning - Possible VERTEX fraud on EBay!
Hey all...just thought i'd give you a heads up.
This auction is prob a fake...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=36475
We sent a prospective customer some images of our kits and now he is posting them up on auction.
He does not have any of our kits. How do i know this...we are the VERTEX distributor for the USA.
So please do not buy into this...it's not backed by Speed Alliance.
Buyer beware please.
THank you all,
Chris

I saw that on Ebay yesterday. Looked fake right away. There is another guy trying to sell a knock off of the Do Luck kit as a real thing for like $600. He'll get some suckers too.

Hey there guys sorry for your loses. I did a little under cover work and this is what I came up. I'm not sure if this is real or not but its worth a try. I simply ask the seller on ebay, what if I wanted the whole kit and didn't have paypal. He then told me he will hook me up and gave me a bs price. And then here is the best part. He says I can send the money off of ebay to this address. I'm guessing this is him, so Chrono and others I hope this help. I attached what he emailed me:
u can send the money order to [removed at poster's request - IB Jason], no need to bid sonce u are buying
apackage deal. the ebay auction is just to put the kit out there and it
was only for the front bumper so ill be awaiting your check. lemme know
how much it will be and what package u want i.e. front & sides. ..etc..
thank u and please respond asap so that i can put your kit on hold.
I hope you guys can track this punk down!

my ***. post this **** for me. if that dumb mf that said i sound like a
***** or incompetent mf knew who i really was he wouldnt post ****, speed
alliance is raping people with this (we are the only importer ****) well

Anybody who responds by email talking about what a bad *** they are must be a little nervous. If he wasn't, there'd be no reason to talk all that $***. He must have some doubts.
Why in the world is the gov. shipping green berets to Japan anyway? And when did they allow soldiers to use military aircraft to ship stuff for a business back in the States? My B.S. detector is going off the charts.
