I've received complaints about this outfit and there is a topic on Team Chevelle right now and I"m duplicating the information here.

They do not seem like a reputable business. I'm still waiting for the answer to my email telling them that I've pulled all their ads from the site.
I've received complaints of money paid and no parts or further contact.

Looks like they folded their camp and left town. the website is displaying a generic welcome message.

Just in case this info is needed for the future I'll post it here for safe keeping. I did a lookup on these guys when they first posted on our classifieds.

They are hosted at what used to be called rackshack - probably on a dedicated server leased by this abilityonline.com outfit. They may have more data on these guys should anyone wish to inquire. Both of them are in Salt Lake City... hmmmmmm.

At this point all we can assume is that they are a hit and run outfit.

I would like to document more of this so we can provide as much info to the authorities as possible.

Anyone having more info on these guys, please post here.

It seems the responses are coming in on the other thread so it's best to keep it in one place.

If you have information or have been burned by these guys please visit:

Here's one...

Originally posted by rsl48:
I sent Frank Cummings a money order for the NOS two piece brake rotors. The M/O was made payable to F.Cummings or D.Sharp.
He added the "sold" notation the same day I sent him money. He sent me an email after I sent the money order saying that he sent me the wrong address. The incorrect address was:

Frank Cummings
1631 Wyndale Road Rd
Abington, VA 24212

The correct address was:

Frank Cummings
16391 Wyndale Road
Abington, VA 24212

The money was mailed on Oct.24/03
The last email I received from him was Nov 07/03
and he stated that he had not received the M/O, but he was holding the rotors until this was resolved. To this date, I have not received any
mail returned to me as "undeliverable"
I used to get email responses from him within 12 hours. There has been no response to the three emails sent over the past 5 days.
I would be interested in hearing others who may have been scammed and if anyone else sent money for the NOS 2 piece brake rotors.
Thanks, Ted

Description
As a follow-up to the "virgin Parts" ad, I do believe that Frank Cummings is a scam. I sent a bank check for some of the "rare" parts and have not heard from Frank. I tried sending him an e-mail only to have it returned as un-deliverable. I too would like to hear from Frank Cummings ASAP. If I do not, I will proceed with the police.

Thanks Dave...

Thanks for redirecting my post with all the others.

Another in parts for sale just now.
