Has anyone ever delt with him? I feel like I am in the process of getting scammed. I ordered a full exhaust system from him and he told me it will be here in a week and a half. I had to pay 50% of the cost, so it was about $260. The order was placed August 23rd and I have not heard anything from him since. I have sent him a PM 4 days ago, and havn't recieved anything since. When we were talking before this order, he was online at least everyday and answering my PM's within 24 hours.

This is not meant to bash you John, and I dont want people to get the wrong idea; I just want to know whats going on.

I dont know if this is the right section for this but what ever..mods you can move it if you wish.


Thanks,
Mike

I've dealt with John Armas before, on several occasions. He was a nice guy and took the time to answer my questions too. I personally have nothing bad to say about him. tu

He sent me a reply yesterday, saying he was going to call the head office and find out the status of the order.

Which is good, cuz now I dont feel like I'm getting scammed anymore.

Mods you can delete this thread.

Well.. He told me he'd check with head office on Monday... LAST Monday, and get back to me the next day.

Havn't heard from him since last week.

What the hell is going on. Honestly, John, I just want my exhaust system or my $275 deposit back. Stop playing games. If you dont have contacts with Magnaflow like you say you do, then stop advertising that you can get deals. I wouldnt mind paying an exta hundred bucks to get the product 2 weeks sooner.

Anyone have a contact number which I can reach him at?

I have contacted Mike now that he has emailed me directly. I don’t frequent this board often so PMs aren’t very good. Email is best.

I totally agree 100% with Mike that it is taking to long. I will offer Mike 100% of the deposit back if I cant get the exhaust delivered to him by the end of the week. I have communicated this directly to him via email.

Thanks and take care.
John

"I don’t frequent this board often so PMs aren’t very good."

You MAY want to change your sig, then, which states: "PM me for anything MAGNAFLOW" .


Now, I'll have all kinds of time to talk about DSMs, because I won't be busy fixing mine!

Yeah, it is all good now John. I was just feeling like I was getting scammed since I havn't heard heard from you for quite some time and all my PM's which I sent you were "unread".

We will wait till Friday and if the system doesn't show up then I would like my money back.

Thanks
