That just doesn't sound right. That guy is too far out in public to do anything like that.

 

neil usually gets the job done even though it might take him twice as long as he might've initially told you. i hope the issue gets resolved very soon

 

where are you located? have you tried going up to his shop?

 

usually I would question the validity of one complainer but there are more than a couple of others who have had similar problems with the vendor as well

 

It appears there are two people that have complaints. The guy above goes by the name of contigo. There is another guy who goes by woodster who claims to have paid $5,000.00 and not received the goods or services.

This is what woodster had to say:

He has owed me $5000-5500 for about two years now.
He has told me many times that he has sent me, wired me, overnighted me,
mailed me checks and the only one I recd bounced and cost me about $35 fee from
my bank. Has not kept his word and has the same story every time
I call him..."Marty, just give me until this Friday (insert any day of the week it doesnt matter), and he does not follow up.
His cell number is: 1-706-983-9321

His work number is: 1-678-947-1437

ortonusa04@syclone.net

If someone knows his home number or his wife Pam's number please PM me.

 

I believe when Neil worked for Roock USA things like this were happening. I believe at the time Neil said he didn't have anything to do with what was happening there.

I really hope whatever is going on gets taken care of. Our members do need to be aware that something is not right either with the business or these two customers.

 

Guy sounds like a thief to me

Christian

 

Woodster is local to me and I have heard his full story. He is a stand up guy with no reason to lie. The stories posted in the first post link are 100% true.

 

Wow...
If true, this would be disappointing.

Well, we've got a TS member/staff guy vetting one of the complainants, and that is not a small thing. Perhaps, as a professional service from TS to members of our community, I could stop in up there and inquire. Is anyone able to vette the other complainant?

If nothing else, it would cut through the mix and get a face to face answer.
