I'm VERY tempted to send his dad an email with the link for this thread /looking at mods - not a good idea?

I work at the fraud department at ANZ, he didn't have an ANZ account that you wired your money too did he?

I still think this definitely be taken further than just getting money back. But that's just my two cents.

Count me in on the action. I dont think that any violent acts/law breaking would represent SAU forum in a positive way nor would it really make up any difference of $7400.

I would seriously front to XXXXXXX if a group of us got together in force to request the money back from this 'Jordan' character.

If gookboi would be so kind as to scan and email a copy of his wire copy original and write out his story in a signed statement, the least we could do as SAU representatives is front 'Jordan' and ask his story.

If 'Jordan' denies all involvement, which is very likely, then we can take the evidence we have to the police in which we have all rights to do.

At the end of the day, it would be the right thing to do and would make a good point of saying that 'SAU does not condone fraudulant/illegal activities'..

What do you think?

It's a bit of a mob mentality that's starting to go on here. Fair enough he's made a mistake, either consciously or not, and now he's paying it back. People have been warned about his behaviour, and he's likely not to get much business until this matter gets forgotten. Case closed?

It's bad enough it happened in the first place, no need to start a lynch mob armed with tar and feathers to create a second mistake....

My point exactly. I still think that something should be done.

Maybe we could all donate a gold coin to SAU to allow for a debt collector to find this missing money.

Just remember Doughboy, if you were short $7400 i would expect you to sort legal advice. I think gookboi is either rich, helpess or crazy. I would definitely miss $7400 in cash.

My whole point is to make a statement. That statement being 'don't abuse your priveledges on the SAU forum'. Just preaching 'watch out for blah blah' is not stopping the problem, its sidestepping the problem. Taking action and showing other members that SAU are serious about fraudulent activities is very important.

I would like to continue purchasing and selling goods over these pages, hassle free!

Even some official SAU closure on this issue would be nice! It does directly effect the way that i will continue use the forum, that's for sure. Surely an issue that effects its members should be investigated and brought to closure, i don't call that 'tar and feathers action'.

Hang on, let me get this straight. One person has come forward regarding being "ripped off", plans are being made up to re-imburse and now you want to persue the matter further? I don't recall anyone carrying on wanting to incite a rebellion with (insert business name here) over Dicky's missing parts/money.

Furthermore, why is it acceptable to allow this thread to continue to probe a person, with full mention of their contact details, business address etc. when it is STRICLY VERBOTEN to have a similar thread in direct relation to a business? I can recall a ton of posts being deleted and edited because they involved negative comments towards a business before, why is it being overlooked now?

Mob mentality at it's finest.... or should I say lemmings?

beacuse the said person misused these forums and as a result was banned from here. In fact, there is a list of bad traders on this forum and he's already mentioned on there.

Also no-one is making comments about the business practices itself..people have mentioned where he works and that in light of the difficulties in contacting him, some suggested contacting him through the business.

It has been about 6 months since he had my money. And because i started posting, he got some what scared of what it might do to his fathers shop and wanted to pay me back.

We in no way wanted harm to come to the company. We referred to it as a contacting place to recieve his attention and it seemed to work nicely.

Chris, hold on just a second.

As it happens I know of at least two others on SAU who have been badly shafted by DESCR8, although not to the extent of $7400, who have yet to see this thread. In my opinion, until DESCR8 comes good on his promise and pays back g00kboi, and settles his issues with other members, the big issue is far from over.

One thing I do agree on is being very careful at this time and not jeopardising g00kbois immediate chance of being reimbursed. If and when this occurs, then and only then should any further action be considered.

Also regarding the business Vs. individual slandering, I see your point, however many of those who have been screwed by DESCR8 have documentation and evidence of conversations between themselves and Jordan, so there are no unfounded accusations flying, and no rumours as Jordan has admitted being at fault.

As far as im concerned, this thread is ok and its staying open to inform SAU's members of the progress of this situation.

I would however like to see it trimmed back and certain comments and threats being removed.

i reckon a good going over this thread censoring it is in order, with his contact details and business links edited out. However his name and shenanigans should be left on here to demonstrate exactly why he shouldn't be dealt with and also in order to help others taht he may have rorted.

It seems that Jordan went through with the transfer and just recieved the fax that says it has been sent.  

so if the mods can be kind enough to delete this thread. Jordan wants the thread to be erased.

Wait until it appears in your account.

    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment.
