Scammer Alerts

07/17/2008:  I started this new Scammer alert page and sent a mass email in honor of a very unscrupulous person in our midst.  His name is Scott McKinney of SMM Performance Parts in Indiana (www.SMMPerformance.com).  He was a dealer of ours for a very brief time (3 orders) and decided to chargeback a $578.78 order and keep the parts.  I found out yesterday the card he used has been reported as stolen by the cardholder who lives in DE.  I have provided just a few links to the forum threads devoted to this guy.    What a gem.  We have filed criminal charges but also wanted to warn others to beware.  Please do not confuse this Scott McKinney from INDIANA with the one from OHIO.  They are two different people.

Thank you for your time, 

07/21/2008:  Mr. McKinney was arrested today on a class C felony.  His bike and brand new motor were confiscated!  Last I heard he's there with no bond and the authorities are putting together a plethora of other charges!

07/21/2008:  What's up with the scammers?  We just got hit again.  Close one door and another opens!  This time it was a COD cash order.  We received the USPS money orders from UPS today and found that they have already been endorsed/cashed.  The scammer used white out to cover the original payee name and wrote in ours.  This guy is from Columbus, GA and probably rides a GSXR 1000 and will be installing one of our new Spyder Nitrous Kits and an Automatic Air Shifter.  He used the name Robert Jones but I doubt that really is his name.  The name on the money orders is David Jordan.  I guess we'll have to quit accepting CODs now.

Scammers Suck!
