Hi guys I bought a few bits of him in the past that was ok. However frank developed some internals desperately needed for the shimano techs 10000 xt's however after payment he has disappeared and will not respond to messages. Looking to spread the word that people should steer clear.

There is a limited audience on the forums these days.
If this guy is a genuine rip off merchant then spread the word far and wide and reach the masses.
Facebook, instagram, twitter, etc.

He ****ed me about for over a year painting my tournies. Seems I was one of the lucky ones in the fact I got them back, plenty of people have gone through small claims court and done him over the years for failure to send items at all.

Hello guys,
just a quick update: never got my tripods nor my money. After a few times where he repeatedly reiterated that I would get what I ordered, the guy simply stopped responding.

Send a letter before claim and I'm sure it'll be sorted. The threat of court action to recover your items will give him a scare. Especially if everyone in your situation does it (which seems like a few of you). It's a case you will always win because they've failed to provide a service you've paid for so even if it did go to court you'd be winning + having your costs paid too.

How on earth is this con-artist not in prison, yet alone still in business?

No idea mate. I have spoken to the authorities and a claim of fraudulent business transaction has been opened.

Hello, I also have problems with this gentleman. I asked him to renovate and repaint the reels of my now deceased father. He indicated that it is not a problem, but it has now been 1.5 years and I have not received any response to emails, telephone calls or WhatsApp. I have now hired a lawyer and also filed a police report and will continue to the bitter end as long as I get the reels back including all costs incurred. I have been very patient and polite, but now there really has to be a solution. Hope you all had not have the same experience.
