Who the hell is Evans Race?

 

[turbowrenchhead]

Evans race products is in Canada. I ordered a block girdle last October and didn't recieve it till late January. I was giving mulitple excusses. I didnt complain. I just asked to be informed. I recicved the piece and it was a nice quality product. I had also bought some steel center mains from them a few months back with absolutly no problems. I was very pleased. I was a little disappointed with the wait for the block girdle but I got it and it was alot cheaper then in the US. I got 2 emails from them this morning. One saying there going out of busuiness and the other saying he is going to abuse my credit card. I don't understnad what is going on. It is a serious threat in my opion.

 

[Intercooler]

If you really feel it is then why haven't you reported it to your card company or cancelled it? I am sure you can block this. Sounds like maybe them going out of business is a good thing!

 

[turbowrenchhead]

I emialed my CC company a copy. I also might think that is a threat to make me go throught the hassle of doing it.

 

[turbowrenchhead]

Good idea. I put a link in there. That is where I found Evans was in the vendors section.

 

[turbowrenchhead]

Rod just emailed me that he knows nothing of it. Is it possible that someone else can use his address?

 

[turbowrenchhead]

This is what Rod just email me.

I'm terribly sorry, that must have been a hacker or a joke or something
because I didn't write that to you.

Rod.

 

[turbowrenchhead]

This is what I just recieved from one of Evans former customers.
There is something going on. Is there anyway to report it.

I had a long drawn out issue with Evans and received a message Friday from Rod and another today from you (this address) stating that you were going to fraudulently use my card. I then replied to everyone that email was sent to. I have also notified the authorities. I received my monies back from Rod only in the past 30 days or so after almost a year of "screwing around" with his mickey mouse organization. I suggest you refrain from sending email to me as well. I am not your typical "gear head" but a seasoned business professional with a car hobby. I am very tired of this poor business practice.

btw.. you dont need insurance

LEGALLY, you are only liable for $50 if someone uses your credit card number without your permission, it doesnt matter how much money they rack up. you only have to pay $50. if it comes to that, i will get my business law professor to tell me what law you need to look up to prove that. but hopefully it was just a joke by someone and they dont really use your card.

insurance on credit cards is a joke and just a way for the cc companies to take advantage of the unknowing public to make more money.

Who is (SunnyGn)?? New guy??

[hotgnrod]

Hello all. I am Rod from evansrace products. We are not going out of business. I am not on crack. And we did not sent the emails out. Our hotmail account has been hacked or a virus has attacked it or something. I cannot use that account to respond to anyone as our password was changed. I will keep you all informed. I am sorry for the inconveinence this has caused.


As for the girdle I sent in January...I have already discussed the problems that we were experiencing. Again I am sorry for the delay.

Rod

 

[TType84]

rod, i would seriously try to get another email account other than a free one for business purposes, or atleast when it comes to orders and stuff.. a lot of people get those accounts hacked into.. im not sure why, maybe because they are free, they arent really a security priority.

maybe your isp can give you an extra email address you can use for your business alongside your personal email?

 

[hotgnrod]

Thanks. I will try that. We were in the process of getting a web site up and were going to use the address provided with the web server. This is a real eye opener!!

Rod

 

[turbowrenchhead]

I would like to add that I think that the quality of the products Rod puts out there are excellent. I was very happy with the center caps and block girdle. I seriously hope you find the jackass that did this because It has made a real confusing day for myself. Good luck Rod no hard feelings intended.

 

[Sinful6]

lol, thats the problem, HOTMAIL, what kind of business uses a hotmail account? Very unsafe. I wish I had seen this post earlier, as the original email is very much like that of an inexpirienced hacker.

 

[Lee_Burough]

From above,

LEGALLY, you are only liable for $50 if someone uses your credit card number without your permission, it doesnt matter how much money they rack up. you only have to pay $50.

True, UNLESS you are using a debut card. If a thief gets your debut card number and info, he can empty your checking account....No insurance or limit on that.

Chiming in..... nobody said failure....issues yes. I will just sit back and let things play out as they come along. Rumors or not this guy had a geniune concern so don't bust my balls about an unrelated thread. Thanks for your attention. Back to helping this guy out.
