Don't deal with humble370z
 

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!

:ugh:

Man i hate hearing stuff like this, as a forum you feel we should be like family and should have a bigger trust while doing a transaction

:iagree:

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

hear so many scams or transactions gone wrong. always buy local in person . sorry to hear OP bout your situation.

sorry to hear...treat others as you want to be treated...karma is a b*tch and hopefully this person will meet her soon

I think you're pretty lucky he actually sent you the wheels.

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

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.

It's great that you posted this. I know some forums over others push for forum member feedback for this exact reason. Thanks for sharing and keep your brothers away from scum like this.

lol damn! Thanks for posting that picture of his car. I recognize it from texts he sent me a while ago. I almost bought those red Nismo wheels off of him late last year. That transaction didn't pan out, at the last minute he tells me he's selling them to his buddy who just bought a 350Z.

Seems he uses another screen name selling his those exact Nismo wheels THREE7DZ.

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

Don't deal with humble370z
 

I would pass this thread and what he's done to his boss. I wouldn't want people like him working for me because if he's stealing from others then what is he stealing from work... Just sayin.

Another thread different cell phone #

Dishonest people are just disgusting.

Thanks for the heads up. Sorry about your situation. Prime example of why I trust NO ONE. I always deal local or through a reputable company for this exact reason. Shame that some people have to be the cancer of the car community.

EDIT: that Z with the red Nismo wheels looks oddly familiar. Maybe I saw it on the 370z FB group page :confused: I'll keep a look out.

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 :driving:
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 :tup:

Great stuff all. We all need to be alert and to out @$$h0les like this guy. I hate dishonest pr!cks pretending to be the average joes and ripping folks off.

Personally I don't have a problem with people defending themselves from a thief unless they start talking about showing up to do bodily harm then all bets are off.

No reason to get in to legal problems over a sob.

:rofl2: so what's the real story bro? you were on a mission airing the dirt on this guy and now you're back tracking...losing credibility here man. Something fishy going on. Has Howie Vu (THREE7DZ) decided to part out his car and planning to post in the classified again? I think Trips should leave the posts alone so others can be aware when dealing with this guy.

So heres the scoop, that's a different guy! Humble370Z is different from HumbleZ34 which is this dude selling the CF Mirrors. Real Story about the wheels they swapped wheels for wheels; Kornflake7 said the tires were good on his end when the tires had two flat tire patches on there. Kornflake7 sent wheels and spacers and Humble370Z sent him wheels and lugnuts. Kornflake7 sent him bunk tires that weren't in the greatest condition. Humble370z and Kornflake7 agreed to swap wheels to wheels, tires and tires, spacers to lugnuts. It was a miscommunication at the end.



Admin check both Usernames stated in this thread, HumbleZ34 is not Humble370z

After he spilled the beans with me, it seems like this trade transaction was all of a miscommunication. HumbleZ34 selling Evo-R CF covers is not Humble370z. Totally two different guys. :ughdance:

I can confirm these are not the same guys

But why did he need to come back as THREE7DZ? Makes things really confusing

He should've known thats not allowed in here as is covered in the Forum Rules.

Since the Op cant confirm what THREE7DZ told you he's already tainted himself in here from selling to anyone else.

I closed all of his old For Sale ads as he has nothing as of late to sell.

If he decides to come on back to sell? He's on Public Notice here that if ANYTHING goes wrong he's no longer going to have access to the classifieds or have PM privileges.

I think thats fair short of a Ban for this one issue thats come to light.
