Don't deal with humble370z

[kornflake7]

Story below from what happened, not done through Paypal already had tracking for rims and then cash and lugs being exchanged for my lug nuts and spacers for the nismo rims.



Trade 2013 nismo rims for 19" volk gt-s trade
Just wanna bump this up for everyone to see, traded with this guy for my nismo rims he sent me these rims with cheap *** tires not the ones he stated would be included. Was suppose to send lug nuts with them and $100 cash for my spacers and now he won't respond anymore! Don't anyone do business with this guy!

On 7/20/14 he was going to trade those same wheels with another local guy here for his nismo wheels, I wonder why that deal never went thru

I thought that user name is familiar, some digging brought up this guy HUMBLEZ34 aka Jared Bratton aka John Martinez. Can an Admin confirm whether it's the same person or from the IP address?

Diff address and diff name, I shipped out to Howie Vu and package was signed for by a Vu in the same household, I had tracking information for all wheels before I sent mine out and that they were in fedex location, didn't figure if he was trying to scam he wouldn't ship lug nuts and $100 cash? The tires is a bitch move I understand that but to leave someone with out lug nuts to mount wheels is just a **** move lol

Well if he doesn't respond, we learned on here that making his info public will get things moving rather quickly

He probably doesn't know about this thread >>>>> I'm putting it out there! He even confirmed with me that username is HUMBLE370Z and that he only goes by different aliases because he has people harassing him, not until I dug down and did more investigation about this guy. Who ever needs their money or parts here it is!

Seems he uses another screen name selling his those exact Nismo wheels THREE7DZ.
2014 nismo wheels (mint condition)

You guys ever thought of calling the police? That's like their job and stuff.

How in the hell can you work with this dickhead and not want to confront him completely about it all and clock him in the face over and over. yeah I understand that puts your job at risk, which is what all stops us.. But I know it'd be something I think about every time I'd see him or hear his name.

Thief, pathetic, moronic. just a couple words that come to mind that won't be filtered.

Chances are because this pathetic, moronic thief works as a service advisor at a car dealership he doesn't make commission like sales reps do. So chances are he is scamming and skipping deals to fund his own car and own mods which is pathetic as well. I understand his concept of not paying for it himself, but F**K AT THAT POINT GET A PERSONAL LOAN FROM A BANK AND DO WHATEVER YOU WANT AND PAY IT OFF OVER TIME!! IT IS THE BANKS MONEY AND YOU CAN DECIDE NOT TO PAY IT.

DONT SCAM PEOPLE OUT OF THEIR SAVED AND HARD EARNED MONEY THAT THEY WANT TO SPEND ON THEIR OWN MODS.

Sickens me to see that shady shitt and since this guy is local I may go pay him a visit. I will be up near the Cerritos Area anyhow this weekend I believe. Either Tyco or I should attempt at getting your parts and cash from him since Tyco knows of him and I know where the dealership he works at is located and am local as well. I know its an old thread, but things like this should still be rectified.

Should Run a type "fake deal" myself on him and let him all excited about a trade with cash on my end or something for my Carbon fiber hood and fenders and drop a HUGE BANHAMMERING TRUTH BOMB on his scamming dumbass and walk the hell away, get in my Z and proceed to burnout in the Norm Reeves Hyundai parking lot before leaving
Of course my original intentions are to never to sell the pieces, take any money from or scam him in any way. Just have him get excited over nothing and drop the truth on him like if an elephant fell out of the damn sky and squashed him.

Tell him how we all feel and before I leave I will be asking him to please provide me with the OP's guaranteed parts from the sale transaction. Including Lugs and $100 for spacers that was not received by OP. OP if either of us attempt this and succeed at doing so with Howie, I will contact you for shipping information for the Lugs and Cash.


EDIT: I have also posted a link to this thread on any current sale threads mentioned here or under his alias'. All admins that possibly have an issue with me posting on all his sale threads stating "READ BEFORE PURCHASING". Not trying to break the no speaking ill of ones sales thread classified rule, but people need to know and be advised to read this thread before purchasing anything from this seller. If this is still in violation please PM me

[kornflake7]

I realize **** happens and I've been scammed before just wanna make sure no one else does anything with this guy, since I've seen him online viewing the region and still not responding to me. He even looked at this thread after I sent him a text that I made it, still wouldn't respond. I gave him the option to take it all down if he gave me tracking and sent me the lugs and cash, that I would deal with the tires being shitty and still won't respond.
