Default Small reward to help me get my money back from GTM.

Hello fellow Z family, my name is Andy, so as most of you already know about a year and a half ago, I purchased a MHI group buy tt kit. I still have not received a refund for the money I paid Sam for the kit. I have tried everything, paypal said sorry and go f@$! your self and so did my bank, then I waited for Sam to deliver but to no surprise (I know, flame suit on) never did. But now GTM doesn't answer my calls, I am pretty sure they are screening them, I've tried every number. So I finally filed a small claims case against Sam. It's going to suck because I am not made of money and taking the days off is going to hurt let alone the trip from Florida to California. So I was wondering if anyone would like a small reward if you can get Sam to send me my refund before the court hearing and save the trip. Maybe like $500 or maybe I buy you some parts? I really need the money to buy my little brother a car to get to school in. Contact me @ nine five four-six eight two-two eight zero six at any time thank you.

The easiest and most effective way would be to Google his address. Leave your cell phone at home and make a drive with some friends.

With that said,
You may NEVER get your money back legally and he may NEVER suffer any consequences from that. Murica.

Trust me I know all about the reflections thread, the idea is for someone local to go to his shop and keep bothering the sh!t out of him till he pays up. If he was local to me, it would be a whole different ball game....

I would go see the guy in person, and let him know how much I wanted my money back, as I dont appreciate being robbed. He would have seen my point...I assure you. That being said, why not try and get your attorney to get the other people in on the case. Sadly I dont think this is a class action matter as the money in question is probably not enough. Makes me sad to be a human sometimes.

Unfortunately courts may award you the funds but they don't collect them for you. Even if you win you may still not get your money.

He can petition a court ordered levy on GTM's bank accounts for the amount GTM owed to him. It may take a while plus additional court fees but not all hopes are lost.

Is this guy in witness protection or something? With all these horror stories I'm reading about GTM, you'd think someone would have found him by now. If someone cheated me out of $1000s of dollars and I knew who it was, you better believe I'd be taking some PTO time from work to pay him a visit.

Funny that many people talk **** and big game.

Not many people are actually violent and will go and beat someone over $10k. Reason usually kicks in and you know it will cost you more than $10k...


But please, to the guys who want his address... It's online, GTM's is currently moving, so run over as fast as you can so you can beat his àss. Nothing would make me happier.

I'll even tell you what car to look for. A white Toyota Yaris. If that car is there 99% chance he's there. He doesn't drive, his wife drives him to work since the brain cancer... So... He might be there even if the car isn't there.


OP, as much as I'd not like to say that you're wasting your time by coming out... You're wasting your time. Sam will not show up to court, and you will win. You probably aren't going to be getting your money back though... Because he won't pay. Best scenario when you get to CA, take a bunch of shít back with you... Like 1.5 times as much value as to what you paid and try to sell it all.




Good luck

IDK about the above bolded. People get into trouble all the time over a whole lot less than 10k. This guy is really lucky he didn't steal from someone who would get violent over that amount of money.

I just find it odd that this guy KNOWINGLY stole thousands of dollars from people on this site and hasn't even showed up to say anything about it and nobody has tried to visit them.

I agree with you. But most people arent violent enough to actually get in someone's face and beat them over $10k. More than likely people catch a beating for insulting someone's family or whatever...

And again, the second part of the statement was that reason kicks in and says that IF you go kick the guy's àss for taking your money... You'll not only not get the $10k, but it will cost you more than $10k to get you out of jail...


OP is costing himself probably $3k to collect $7k. And the odds of ACTUALLY collecting that $7k is slim to none. Again OP, best bet is to do what the other guy did. Cash out on oil pans and sell them at a loss.

Yup....road trip time....stalk him home and ring his door bell asking for your money back. This tends to get someones attention if you know and they know where he lives.

Worked for me a few times....
