EDITTED: Shortened, tried taking out cheap shots and sticking to facts; same story line.

First and foremost, this is nothing personal against the Beyond member who (I feel) took advantage of me, I'm just upset of what he did, thinking he can get away with it.

Continuing from here http://forums.beyond.ca/showthread.php?s=&postid=2421995#post2421995

So after Rage's sanction and his past example that it's ok to admit weakness for niceness and get suckered sometimes (i.e. certain misunderstanding with a sporting fitness promotion) I think I owe my time to write this ensuring Beyond isn't encouraged as a breeding ground for scammers and matchstick-boys pulling in 6-figures already.

Sorry, this version will be a little long, just trying to provide more details of the situation from my side.

Story:

- In Summer, 2007 Beyond member: Black_Radiation (Jordan) contacted me with some body damage on his 2004-2005 Dodge Ram pick-up (side swipe in rear right boxside by taillamp, and numberous creases on top of left front fender)

- For those who might not know, my main income job in my automotive industry isn't coming from Beyond.ca. Though I really appreicates the business and respect from here (hope my feedbacks and reviews shows), but the mere fact of reality is that my primary income is what supports my time and efforts being on Beyond. It is nice however to meet some great Beyonders and see their whips, but Beyond income just suppliments some extra cash for my porno rentals, gas, couple of ding-dongs and Spam and noodles while I'm home; BUT I do give it my best on every Beyond repair and ensure the Beyonder leaves with happy endings.

- ^^^ So I pretty much told Jordan (Black_Radiation) this and everyone else when I'm busy, but maybe just his charm or sweet talk, he replied by saying: "I'm the head stereo/audio installer at Future Shop Deerfoot Meadows, well maybe you can squeeze me in and stop by the shop during business time when you're in town." (I'm a real sucker in this "circle of trust, we're all in the automotive business crap, help each other out")

- I finished up a site in Northern Alberta and was getting sent towards Eastern Canada, was just stopping in town for 3-4 days. On Friday, August 24, 2007 I got into Calgary traffic at 4-5pm, Deerfoot Meadows was on the way home but traffic was tighter than an '08 noob about to get pwned, so I thought "take care of a fellow Beyond-man, let's stop into Future Shop Deerfoot Meadows and just look at the body damage Jordan was talking about"

- Without a doubt, the right rear boxside was suppose to be a bodyshop (needed repaint), but the body panel was pushed in (taillamp cracked from the swipe) Told him this. Maybe I'm just a sucker for punishment or just his puppy dog eyes, told him if I was going to charge him, WITH THE UNDERSTANDING he's paying my PDR services for "push for paint" where I level out the dented panel (not factory finish like ideal PDR), so all he has to pay is a bodyshop or spot repair place to repaint the panel.

- I was only going to charge him $400 for the collision and the PDR fixable dents (price wise, please realize this is a bodyshop job, not your average text-book door dings "save money with PDR") ... based on OUR calculations, he'll still come up ahead ($400 to me to level collision, and then $300-500 towards bodyshop for paint). Had he did this completely through bodyshop, it could (I don't know) had cost him $1200- $1500 (pending if boxside replace, or if bodyman will spend the time bondo-ing and leveling those ridges flat)

- That was the deal (I THOUGHT) we struck, on top of me telling him: "I dunno when I can do it though, this is a busy 2007 hail season, go to head back out in a few days"

- Again, maybe the puppy dog eyes, etc... Jordan initials and suggested if I could do it tomorrow, Saturday (since I'm going out till whenever in 2 days)

- AT HIS SUGGESTION: He suggested to trade my $400 service for a supplied and installation of an alarm/remote starter on my vehicle. I was going to sell the truck I drove, but I'm a pretty easy going guy so I agreed to his "whatever brand, wherever you got it, just install it for the deal" but I'll take a rain check from your end. AT HIS SUGGESTION: He says: "And we can exchange Beyond feedback afterwards, baby cakes" (well he didn't say baby cakes)

- Here's my first evidence on morning of Saturday, August 25, 2007 our phone conversation @ 10:25am confirming we're going to meet at "HIS head installer SHOP" @ FS Deerfoot Meadows at noon time.
http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r95/Tomcompany/jordanscams4.jpg

- Didn't have the camera handy to snap repair photos (this is probably why he thinks he's going to ignore me, since I'll be upfront, there's no legal standing on my part)... just because our trucks are packed during travel, I really don't take photos of EVERY single repair I do, lol... Plus I didn't think I'd get suckered completely like this, espeically someone in the automotive field. :(
http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r95/Tomcompany/100_1563.jpg

- My material witnesses are: (1) Bryan, another F.S. installer that day. (2) Amy, electronics manager I was told, she now works at Shawnessy Future Shop, I think manager at the CD racks. (3) Another young dude manager who drove a lowered 2003-2005 Mazda 3 sedan, charcoal color wanting me to fix his hood and side door dents. (4) And other employees who came out back that day, seems like anyone under the age of 20 are managers at Future Shop able to give "deals" though...

- Finished the repair with every eye witness' satisfaction/commpliments (i.e. wow looked better than before, thanks for showing us WHILE YOU WORKED, etc...)

- Then I set sail to my main income job

Evidence of me "feeling" getting screwed

- Contacted Jordan 4-5 days before October, 2007 thanksgiving weekend (I deleted that PM :( mine always floods), seeing if he could finish his end of the bargain on the supply install alarm/R.S. on my winter beater.

- ^^^ To which he said he was too busy for me, I needed to contact him 2 weeks in advance. Ok, no big deal, I'm busy myself and only in Calgary 4-5 days, and already I might not had given enough notice... so I swallowed that.

- I smartened up in November (contacting for free time 2 weeks advance during my year-end break)... Here's my evidence (you can see my initial PM and his response):
http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r95/Tomcompany/jordanscams1.jpg

- So I gave him 2 weeks (after above ^^) and contacted him again, by now it's kind of setting in what's going on... His reasoning now is that he no longer works at F.S. and needed more time to complete the deal (I lost another PM where I responded with, you can do it at my house I got a garage heater and I can pull all trim panels in advance for you, just need your expertise to hook it up)
http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r95/Tomcompany/jordanscams2.jpg

^^^ And the "spool of cable" he's talking about, it really is fucking sentimental to me, I bought that @ crappy tire $19.99 from $27.99 after losing my life savings in 2001 (stock market, had enough to purchase 2-3 Hummer H1 alpha, CASH), and that I bought that extension with my $6/hour job washing dishes during college :( (before getting back into PDR)... thanks for offering to drop it off before you took off from F.S. man :thumbsup:
http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r95/Tomcompany/100_1852.jpg

Also thanks for "I'll take care of you" (last part from his response ^^^)

- Finally last/latest PM with him in February (left him alone, cause I had to head out of town after Christmas anyways)
http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r95/Tomcompany/jordanscams3.jpg

These are just my side of PM evidence, (in case he's going to play dumb "what deal?"), is that he never denied we never struck any deals, but just kept on putting me off forever and forever without any solid dates or solutions; hoping I'll trail off and forget about it or take it like a man.

After the above February "he's busy, check schedule", he still posts on Beyond trying to trade his stereo/audio install for some :poosie: (dated March, 08)
http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r95/Tomcompany/jordanscam-1.jpg


As well as advertising for his services (after the February's "I'm too busy for YOUR free install agreement" ) Now as far as we know, Jordan = Black_Radiation (unless sorry, there's another Jordan that works at autotemp)

EDITTED: Shortened, took out part about the whole "feedback" system/ he had 48 hours to respond "or else" , etc... that got confusing

- I really can't morally give him positive feedback

- (Inital before editted post stated I'd give him a neutral for either paying me $400 since I already installed my own alarm/starter... or JOKELY professionally re-dent his truck, only taking my dent repair service areas back)

- Ended up giving him a negative from his first response to this thread... (just because from that first response didn't seem like he was going to do anything constructive; so that was appropriate right after reading that post)... Currently, Jordan has agreed to making things right.

- I know Jordan might have some friends here, and again, this is nothing personal against him... just a little disaapointed by his actions; espeically when there really isn't a lot of dent guys in Canada. (NOT boosting myself, you can tell me I suck if you like)

- I personally PMed Jordan after making THIS thread so we this isn't a witch hunt. He did call me, as well as responding here, as well as going to make things right.

This thread was made on Beyond because this once was private matter couldn't be resolved between myself and Jordan. I personally failed and gave up and found closure to not seem anything from Jordan (when he was giving me the run-around with install, I found closure in parting with the money $400)... but when I installed my own starter; I had closure of not needing him for the install deal anymore.

On top of me feeling people on Beyond should have more responsiblity in the marketplace between Beyonders... I felt Jordan owed the Beyond crowd an explaination. (since I'm no longer privately seeking anything from Jordan for myself.)

Here are some of my install pics for fun, and to prove I wasn't about the money, purposely buying my own Compustar R.S. and installing it myself... I only have grade 10 and 11 high school electronics course (didn't do too well), mechanic 3rd-yr. apprenticeship, bodyshop bitch-boy, detailer/lot-boy, dent guy experience but I still managed to do the damn thing myself. Which is what sadens me thinking for someone that does this professionally on a daily bases, how freakin' hard is it to just squeeze 2-3 hours of his/her time to complete this task? Not just that, but an agreement deal for which he already got paid for. (I already fixed his vehicle, paying him with my service)

Also ended up installing my own stereo (Jordan told me he would do it during the alarm/starter install)

Stereo install in March, 08, done before the Remote Starter (thinking I still had hope in people's trust that Jordan will come through)
http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r95/Tomcompany/100_1567.jpg http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r95/Tomcompany/100_1565.jpg
http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r95/Tomcompany/100_1570.jpg http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r95/Tomcompany/100_1571.jpg



Remote Starter, and yes, I really didn't professionally know WTF I was doing, lol... just basic automotive concept :(
http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r95/Tomcompany/100_1834.jpg http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r95/Tomcompany/100_1841.jpg
http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r95/Tomcompany/100_1850.jpg http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r95/Tomcompany/100_1833.jpg
http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r95/Tomcompany/100_1840.jpg http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r95/Tomcompany/100_1854.jpg
http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r95/Tomcompany/100_1851.jpg http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r95/Tomcompany/100_1848.jpg



Lastly, please also give Jordan a chance to explain his side, to give him credit, I didn't give him an official "this is your last warning to complete the deal or else I'll tell"... I didn't wanted to do that because that'll feel weird during the install, plus, I didn't want mystery electronic glitches from wires not being diode or resistanced, for "some reason"

EDIT: Sorry for giving the wrong impression... in terms of his offering to exchange my services for alarm/R.S. it was NOT stated that it was coming from Future Shop (i.e. theft)... I NEVER mentioned he claims to give me free Future Shop items, please reference if I accidently come off that way, never thought it would get interpreted it that way, could be an old unit he owned... I was nice enough to not really care, just any alarm/R.S. on my beater... and that's what doesn't make sense to me why he's putting it off

There's nothing worse than scammers, especially on a car forum like this. It's sad when you can't even trust someone with 800 posts and a 3 year member on the site.

If it doesn't get resolved asap I'd just call future shop, ask to speak to the manager, and ask if it would be convenient to come by on saturday for your install.

Mention you couldn't get ahold of Jordan but he said he would use his position as the head cheese there to arrange a complimentary supply/install for some work you did on his personal vehicle and saturday is the only day you can make it in.

I guess we'll have to see what Jordan has to say for himself, if he even wants to try and tackle this probelm.

i vote for to redent his car professionally -

cause personally i would love to see it done.

jordon your a scammer and im not putting that to cover your name or something.

tomco seems like a good guy and everyone on beyond that has had work done from him seem happy.

question though how will you find his truck and redent it?

"then me or Rage or Beyond mods can glady provide a refund on your body damage to the best of my recollection"
if your talking about damaging his truck the last thing you wanna do is use rage or beyond mods id's on here, fuck you shouldn't even be posting about the refund option. If your gonna fuck someones shit up you don't let them know on a forum for the world to see, be like nike and just do it. Now if his truck gets touched he's going to use all this shit against you and potentially beyond mods. I don't know any mods on here but i'm pretty sure the last thing they want is cops questioning them about some dumb shit.

Shitty deal, but a good lesson learned to always take payment up front.

Let's wait to see what Jordan's side of it is, but if it is how it seems, then :thumbsdow to him.


+1 to redent professionally if it's all true lol.

:banghead:

Thanks, and I'm not in the "pissed off" mode, I'm really open minded to his REASONS... but the PMs sort of speak for themselves... I don't know what I did wrong to be put off like this.

And I don't need another stereo/audio/install work done, aside from the fact I think I'll do my own from now on, through the help of internet sites or past school research... I actually learn something, next time a stripper driving a Sunfire or Grand Am 2.4L base model that needs an alarm/R.S. I'll know exactly what to do.

Again ironically I think this is a double-edge sword, I kind of should really thank Jordan for me to wake up Calgary is a big dog-eat-dog city now, espeically in the business world, this really is a SMALL TINY amount/issue... I grew up here in the days that you didn't have to know your neighbours, but let's say he has a pick-up truck, you can ring their doorbell and say: "Hey you don't know me, I live 5 doors down, any chance you can haul some lumber for me next time you're at Totem?"

Lesson really is live and learn, and don't be nice.

I see your point '08 :( and agree.

Well, like I said this isn't about vandalism and agreed I shouldn't had thrown "Rage or Mods"... but out of anyone on Beyond, those would be the fairest people.

This isn't about damaging the guy's truck, anyone that knows me knows I love cars... I'm talking about taking my services back...

There are 2 CPS members here, this is NOT about damages again... no different than a mechanic taking a starter back or a fence builder taking a newly built fence down... that's where I'm coming from.

Yes, it obivously borderlines the sillyness line... that's why the other option is just to pay the agreed amount :D

We don't know where the alarm/R.S. unit would be coming from... could be from his purchase, old unit that was going to get tossed out anyways, etc... (so that "thief-boy" comment isn't my intentions)

I'm not trying to turn this into a witch hunt making him the bad guy, but just my bad experience with him.

Thanks 97'Scort, and thanks for being so helpful when I contacted you about remote start selection, models, advice (no trade secrets given)

Scort helped me out knowing full well I wasn't purchasing anything from him per-sa, but just purely given advice helping another car dude. :)

That's what upsets me, I really didn't come on Beyond (professionally) spending all that time on work photos, write-ups to properly profit or make huge "bling bling" from Beyonders, just spend some time to share my automotive industry experience with everyone as a community.






EDIT: Sorry for giving the wrong impression... in terms of his offering to exchange my services for alarm/R.S. it was NOT stated that it was coming from Future Shop (i.e. theft)...

Do you seriously think buddy would tell him to come and redent his truck to what it was before? and tom could mean whatever he wants but the way it comes off on here is a different story.

Throwing in beyond as a whole is not nearly as bad as using a specific users id. I would be fucking pissed if someone used my name for something i had no involvement in and got hassled about it.

And tomco i really hope he either comes through or gets his ride fucked( by some random punks of course), his truck should be pretty easy to spot in auto temps lot cause he posted pics on here.:guns:

You're right stunta, I really shouldn't had done the whole "refund dent"

And sorry Rage or mods for "throwing you guys in", thought it'll actually show I'm trying to be professional when refunding the dent.

And sorry Stunta, I know you don't know me, and for coming off as shady for doing this "giving him his dent back to whatever I feel like"... anyone who's met me know I'll put the dent EXACTLY as I fixed it. But yes, strangers won't know that.

Too late to take words back, so I guess Jordan, $400 is your only option... I'm really not interested in this "bully money" at this point to keep myself, THEREFORE I WILL BE donating this amount to a Beyond event, I honestly don't give a shit about "damaging the guy's truck" blah blah... but just hate getting screwed that's all.

Unfortunate to say the least. Reading this just gave me another reason today to sigh and shake my head. I guess it will be pretty hard to trust someone again to come through on an arrangement/deal at a later date. It's too bad that the whole bartering of services does not work out out times. I was planning on contacting Tom probably in the next few months to see what he could do with a dent I'd like pulled and now because of this I wonder if he will really even want to bother which leaves me with having to go and hope I find a decent Body Shop. The question now is are you going to bother doing work for individuals or will you be sticking to your main sources only?

I will miss the days of buying without looking on beyond. Bought struts off a beyonder not long ago and not only did I get almost new struts which were as advertised but buddy told me there was a bunch of extra shit in the boxes which ended up being all the bolts and lca bolts I needed to get which I didn't need to buy. Now it'll be everyone sorta mistrusting each other due to the fact that people tend to sway towards douchebaggery nowadays in Calgary

I'm still on here to contribute my repairs photos or time for opinions, as long as I'm welcomed :D

Just that I honestly am really busy within my trade, I'm heading out next week (send me photos, I'll take a look)

I'm not crying, but that's the part that's sad, I try offering something positive (car related) into a car group... everything I've said PDR wise has NOTHING to do with businesses having to come to ME, but just hoping the public will have a good experience using Paintless Dent Removal, or even Bodyshop, or anything automotive.

A lot of time I even straight up tell people to go to another dent shop, lol... I have no problems sharing customers with other high quality, skillful individuals, this market isn't mine.

Well, at this point of me purposely getting my own Compustar and time installing it myself, I'm about the principle man (I even waited till I beat him to installing it myself as an amature, instead of just bullying someone outright)...

I'm really not about "kicking ass" man, not as tough as the MMA sport guys, but I've taken my martial arts (back in the thai boxing, karate, TKD, kung fu days).

No no no, AUTOTEMP HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS... The deal was struck when Jordan was head installer @ FS, during the time I was trying to get my share, he switched jobs from FS to Autotemp... he never used the Autotemp name in this case (just said he was switching jobs and that I should wait a little longer)


Originally posted by ekguy

Well this bothered me for 9 months before making this thread (or till I got around to installing my own unit), this thread makes me looking like a whiny bitch, I know...

However, after even Rage came out with his misunderstanding about a sporting promotion deal (I'm neutral; story hasn't ended)... and long term Beyonders Ek2.0 and Richardchan2002 misunderstanding with the 1 year $100 oweing.

Rage and the mods spend so much time and efforts into keeping this community top notch, we just don't see it, so I had to embrass MYSELF as well (being sucker) to prevent this site turning into Lord Of the Flies.




Officially, if Jordan pays this $400 I am giving it to the Beyond event fund (use it on the next meet, DTP, next cruise for gas supplement $5 each, etc...)... Or get loonies and a Beyond peelers meet, doesn't matter.

Edit: Had he done this install for me, would had been way cheaper (he knew I didn't care about what brand, if it was new, etc... so product could came from anywhere), and then just 2-3 hours of his time. :( Sad :guns:

Ok I'm going to get flame for this...

But I have to stick up for Jordan's defense, when he suggested: "How about we do a trade"... it NEVER came off as "I'm going to be using a Future Shop fell of a delivery truck product, or we're going to quietly sneak you into the install bay, etc..."

It was just: "how about we trade services and if you have any vehicles that needs alarm/remote starter I'll hook you up, even trade" I've worked at big dealerships before, it's like a licensed tech offering to do a side job on the weekend which some are allow to use the hoist, equipment, etc... at the dealership.

Kind of like what he told Morriganslayde trying to trade her audio install gettin' her to pop them titties out down in da dirty South...ern Alberta.
http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r95/Tomcompany/jordanscam-1.jpg

Didn't think stereo, tinting, detailing, PDR needed big equipment or space, so I thought nothing of him violating (if any) company policy of using the bays (cuz we could use garage, or friend's shop)

Just really want this to be a fair trial/judgement, Future Shop and Autotemp did NOTHING TO ME, Jordan never really offered anything solid from those stores to "give me" (just his time and either him buying the unit, or getting it from used car or somewhere)... oh and thanks to the Shawnessy FS installer who gave me some diodes (I really tried purchasing from radio shack, they didn't have 1.5ohm for the door trigger); bought my own resistors extra $0.99 I didn't have to spend.

Actually, that's misinterpreting what I meant. Re-reading that after your comment, I realize your point of how it could be misread. But please don't forget, it's easy to twist each other's words around on the internet through word-text without getting a tone of voice...

But since someone's questioning that particular comment (of being insulted), let me have my chance to explain to clear the air:

- So Jordan contacted me for MY "professional" auto-field work
- I assessed a price (just like a mechanic would, bodyman, detailer)
- He wanted to give/trade me something from "his" professional field (of audio/stereo installation)...
- I RESPECTED the field of proper quality audio installation profession to be giving him a trade credit (remember it'll be cheaper for someone in the audio field to obtain a Head-Unit and then their "easy work time" to install it THAN $400 monetary value), had I disrepected the installation field, I would had said: "No, cash/cheque only; I can do this myself with my eyes closed"
- I took grade 10, grade 11 high school electronics, that was one of the hardest courses, I think I only got 65% - 71%... hence, that's why I was willing to let a someone claiming to be in competent in their field to work on my car.

In terms of the be littling installer claimed "comment", I'm pleading you misinterpret, it's supposed to be read as, by other members of the installation community to shun (disown) the guy. Where you guys (installers) are sitting at a coffee shop reading this (me): "Man, I can't believe I got pwned by a snake after I provide my services, he's a professional installer, he knew up front it was going to be an easy Grand Am (you guys know: anti-thief bypass, diode, resistor), but yet he still screwed me... I put in my efforts doing the damn thing myself proving it's not about the money... but man, for someone that does this everyday professionally, how freakin' hard is it to just finish this deal spending 1-2 hours of his time?"

And then the rest of the installers taking a sip of coffee going: "uhhh-huh uhhh-huh, amen to that sista, what a loser"
http://l.yimg.com/img.tv.yahoo.com/tv/us/img/site/18/52/0000041852_20070802150607.jpg

I would had said the same type of comment if a licensed tech didn't hold up his end (did the engine work myself, and out him), bodyman, detailer, tinter, nobody's spared.

If there's any "be littling" in the automotive field, that'd actually be US, the dent guys... "oh just stick something in behind and pop those little dents out for a couple bucks"...

PDR compared to PROPER stereo installation: We don't have years of standardized schooling, we don't have regional/national certification like an electronics degree/diploma (unless the chessy ones private corporations hand out; Wyotech yea), we don't have charts and calculation methods, there's nothing stopping anyone right now from claiming to be a professional PDR guy; you can get all your tools online, Ebay DVD courses.

After Beyond I realized it's not a fight against other companies/tech, that's why you can tell me I suck if you'd like; doesn't bother me as it used to... I'm just here to provide MY SERVICES for people who appreicates it.

Bottom line: Doesn't matter what field Jordan works in, I'm just upset someone (Jordan) didn't hold up his/her end of an agreement. :(

Since I provided you service FIRST, you didn't feel it was fair to contact ME whenever you were avaliable, regardless if I was outta town or not???

I don't need an alarm/remote start anymore dude, I guess that's my fault for installing it myself too early before you became available for me (AFTER I've already paid you with my services)

I never denied tom the work I was going to do and I still plan on doing it, I sent him a message this morning before I even there had been a thread started about this saying sorry, and telling him to make an appointment with me because were in our slow season right now. I have dealt with MANY beyond members and never burned anyone, nor do I ever intend do, Once again, I apologize to tom that it took this long but I am willing to take care of him... I just dont feel that this thread was necessary when he could have contacted me and dealt with it a little more professionally, as I havent heard from him for months.

When you owe someone something (your end of the deal) he shouldn't have to hunt you down and hound you to make things happen. You should make it a priority to hold up your end of the deal when it's convenient for him.


I don't like you.

and for the record, I didnt realise he had a starter installed, I didnt read his message fully, obviously im a dumbass... but I still wish to seek a solution with tom, I feel bad that it has come to this, anyone who is in the car audio industry knows that from early october to march its ridiculously busy due to starters. I'm just trying to show that it wasn't a matter of wanting to fuck tom over, just that I was incredibly busy to do it and I tried to fit him in but at times he wasnt able to come in, it is a 2 way street, nothing can really take back what I did, once again I admit it was poor of me to let it take this long but Im not trying to leave him hanging... and to all of you jumping on the bandwagon im not even gonna bother with you... a few of you who are on here who worked with me know im not a hack and a shitty installer, I take alot of pride in my work and I have the portfolio to prove it... Bigbear you worked with me for all of about 3 weeks at FS as a saleman and you were barely in the bay so I really dont appreciate your jumping on the bandwagon. you yourself saw a few of my installs and I dont know why you would say that when you know my installs were well above par. If i was the snake that tom is obviously trying to make me out to be then why the hell would I try and deal with the situation... I dont really care how I look on this forum as no matter what, some day your name is gonna get pissed on by someone else... but I do truly feel bad about the situation and would like it resolved, Tom your welcome to contact me and we can work something out still.

Excuses, excuses, excuses.......blah blah blah.......seriously, if it wasn't for the power of Beyond calling this guy out, he would have said fuck all.

If he wants any respect whatsoever, refund Tomco the money. End of story.

To be honest this is the first I saw of this thread, Im not going to argue with tom I should have taken care of him faster, but unfortunately his work and my work are both very busy, when he was available, I wasnt as it was starter season, and I was running 13 hours a day anyways, and when I was available he was out of town doing work. I never denied tom the work I was going to do and I still plan on doing it, I sent him a message this morning before I even there had been a thread started about this saying sorry, and telling him to make an appointment with me because were in our slow season right now. I have dealt with MANY beyond members and never burned anyone, nor do I ever intend do, Once again, I apologize to tom that it took this long but I am willing to take care of him... I just dont feel that this thread was necessary when he could have contacted me and dealt with it a little more professionally, as I havent heard from him for months.

What a load of shit.

thats true, I did wrong by him but im obviously looking for a solution... anyone who was intentionally trying to burn him would hide from beyond, and never try and figure out a solution for him.. I want a solution for him.

Call him, PM him right now and say "Tom, I fucked up. Let me know what your schedule is so I can give you your money." Shake his hand and learn from this.
