See Scammer List in Sig...

 

Neil I hope you get this problem resolved. Neils a good guy. I now if it was the other way around he would work it out. Proboly one of the coolest guys I know. But He can get a little crazy when hes mad.

 

EXACTLY !!!

 

Oh no ! This clown is back at it again....

Time to start sending e-mails to his job again

 

Not for nothing but...

If I sold you something 4 months (or is it 5 now?) months ago and then you told me you had a problem, I would have told you to pound sand too...

Email him at work? Riiiigghhhttt.... Good way to get the site some trouble..

See, the thing is, if you guys go out and start harassing him at work, it's just that: Harassment. It's even worse when it seems to be some of you are doing it and aren't even involved. He gets canned, this site is liable since it's letting this go on.

I think I even saw where someone posted "Hey, If you came after me 4 months later, I'd say no way too. But since it's Tom Connell...."

This is why I'd never sell anything on this site. Unrealistic and childish buyers. Not businessmen looking for a good deal.

Good luck to all of you.. Glad it's not my problem. I've bought a bunch of things from Tom. I've never had a single problem with him. I've even met him a couple times. Seems like a decent enough guy to me.

I kinda see what you are saying, but he knew the whole time that this guy was in japan and obviously did not have his car out there...so in a case like this I think it is an exception because the poor guy couldn't get them installed til he got back and it is definitely not his fault that he couldn't come back right away just to install them and make sure that they were good parts...people these days, I just don't get it....

 

You email his job because thats where he is scamming the people from... This has been ongoing for some time.. .So if you dont know the whole story alan, dont act like you do !

How in the hell will that get the site in trouble?

People are emailing from aol/outlook express etc.. Not from camaroz28.com....

 

What did Tom Connell scam you out of?

Way I've come to understand it he sold you some overlays. You didnt' like them so he not only refunded you your money, but he also let you keep the over lay.

If that's a bad business transaction and reason for you to not say, "Hey, he took care of me" then I don't know what a good transaction is, I guess.

The site can be held liable (moderators, please chime in here) becaue you're attacking a person and saying potentially damaging things that you don't know to be true.

So, from one person who's never been screwed by the guy, to another, I'd suggest you take your own advise... If you don't know the whole story, sir, then don't pretend you do.

I think this is just internet boredom gone too far. You guys have a little too much time on your hands so you feel you need to be the AOL Robin Hood... Only problem is, Robin Hood was sure who the Sheriff was...


Lastly, if he did, indeed, do someone wrong then it's up to that person to take what he feels are necessary measures. Not the other 500 of you who dont' know who did what.

How do you even know the guy over seas was over seas or that he DIDN'T damage the part? Do youu know how hard it is to damage a spindle? You need to whack it pretty hard.

Anyway, I'm not going to bother replying to anymore posts in this thread. If you're resigned to be childish about this I'll have no part in it.

Worst part of the internet is that anyone can use it. Even if you're really not smart enough to do so.

How about his location? If i'm close enough i'd be glad to help out. I'm in illinois
let me know
thanks

 

Tom knew I was in Japan when I bought the stuff from him. I even told him that I would not be back form Japan until mid January. I had to have him send the parts to a third party since I was not in the country to do what needed to be done with them (cleaned and powdercoated). I went to put the brakes on and never even pulled it out of the garage before seeing how far the toe was off. I even waited till after I went to the alignment shop and had them try to get the alignment on before I contacted him. If they would have been able to align the car I would not have even cared, but I would have still sent Tom a message telling him to make sure he checks parts better before they go out the door. Yes, it is very difficult to damage a spindle...in other words, the car or the wheel would suffer serious damage in the process. Anyone that knows me can tell you My car has no damage that in any way could have damaged the part. the car only went from my house to the front end shop and back before contacting Tom. I highly doubt I would have spent the money (powdercoating, NEW calipers, NEW powerslots, NEW Hawk pads) if I planned on putting a bent spindle on my car. Now my car has been down ever since waiting on a new part (In Michigan right now getting powdercoated). Your right, if Tom sent the parts and I put them on the car and 4 months later I tell him one was bent, then he would have reason to not care. This is different. Tom knew I was in Japan for Military Duty until January. In January I contact him and tell him it was bent. He should have made things right. Oh well....it is over and there is nothing I can do about it.

 

If you look around, it is NOT an isolated case.

A great gesture, but it was basically a piece of paper. It is not like Tom was out an actual high-quaility item like he made it out to be. Tom made it on his home printer. Take a WILD guess as to how he got the info to make the item? It was provided for free by the people here to HELP each other out. Tom took the FREE help and turned around and SOLD it to others.

That's not the point. It was a junk item that he tried to pass off as something that was NOT a junk item. This is the sort of character he is.

Yes we DO know these things to be true. And a public web site cannot be held responsible for the people's actions on it. However, Tom Connell needs to be held responsbile for scamming all of his "customers".

Boredom? Robin Hood? Buddy...people are out MONEY. REAL MONEY. MONEY that TOM has in HIS POCKET. He got that money in exchange for junk or faulty parts or parts that he MADE money from to screw the next person who he has CONNED into thinking is getting a good deal. Do you know what kind of person we are talking about? Read some of the things here:

You have got to be kidding. Neil has a reputation of being a good guy. Many know him, he has nothing to hide and no reason to lash out at someone for no reason. He is not known to take advantage of a situation for his own selfish benefit.

TOM CONNELL on the other hand has a HISTORY of SCREWING people.

What happed to Neil is the same sort of BS that Tom has pulled on others. It is just one more time when it turned around and bit Tom on the ***, and now he is in hot water and denying all responsibility...just like he ALWAYS did before.

Tom was selling parts he didn't even have in his posession at ANY time. He could not guarantee the quality of anything he sold because he never actually saw it. The same situation applies here. Tom never had the item in his hands so there is no way he could honestly say the part wasn't defective. Of couse, the word "honest" is in effect here, and we know how honest our old friend Tom is.

AGAIN, Neil has a history of being a good contributor around here. Tom has a history of causing trouble, being banned, selling junk items or selling items that were not even in his posession.

Now you call the people who were scammed by him stupid. You sure are defending him pretty faithfully...

Tom always had a way of saying it wasn't his fault and it was always the buyer's fault. You kinda sound like him.

 

Alan you know an aweful lot about Tom and what happened being that he is in new jersey and your sig says cali ....

Now how would you know details of the scam he tried on me??

Let alone all the others he got away with....

He might have did you good, But he tried to do bad on me and did so to plenty of others... That kind of thing isnt welcome here....

 

Thanks BlackMetal. Maybe NewZ has not been here to see some of the Posts about Mr Connell, or maybe he was one of the lucky ones that had a good dealing with him. If he was, maybe he ignored the bad posts about him. However, I was the idiot that gave Tom Connell the benefit of the Doubt. I personnally thought the thing with Tom selling the wheels was not too big of a deal, but some of his other dealings were not very good at all. I figured it was brakes I was buying and that it would be hard to screw someone over on brakes as long as I recieved them and they were as described. I guess I was wrong. No biggie. Tom guaranteed me they were not bent and he did not stand behind it... It is over now and no thanks to Tom I located another part to replace the bent one. I was just out More money... not including Powdercoating, the Brake swap so far has cost me over $650 (brakes, rotors, calipers, pads, lines, 2nd spindle/knuckle, shop fee to confirm bent)!

I also thought maybe NewZ was Ton Connell when I first read the response. I had to go and rear the username!

 

I never said I didn't understand why some of you had a problem. My point is unless you currently have a problem with Tom then mind your own business.

Anyone who wants to infer I'm Tom Connell can go over to LS1.com. Corral.net, SVTperformance.com, LS1Tech, etc... and check out my user name(s) there.

It's NewZ on the camaro sites, Big Top GT on the Mustangs.

I think it's just stupid to make that kind of suggestion when someone who's had good dealings with a guy chimes in.

Oh, i forgot, this is CZ28... individual opinion doesn't matter here.

Back to the bashing kids.. and I do mean kids...

Yippie Kay Yay, Cowboys...

It is nothing against you, it is that Tom has been banned from here (as well as the other boards) a few times and has come back under different usernames.
