*FlashOptions Fraud Victim Please Help*

Please Help,

I am having a very large problem with F------- and G--- T--. I am building a Track vehicle and I orderd a complete vehicle cut in half and it was a 1999 Honda Integra Type R costing me $7,000.00 and all G---- has done was lie and try to cheat me I have waited over 11 months to try to resolve this and I contacted the FBI. If anyone can help please let me know.. I will forward you all my info and do whatever it takes. I will give you all the info you need.

Thanks,
Joseph

I've heard very bad reviews about this place. Someone should make like an annoucment or sticky this or do something to help this poor guy out.

stay away from carsponcorships.com too...they rob you of $89 bucks

FlashOptions has been jacking people for a few years now, I'm surprised that people are still falling for their scams. I was about to make a purchase a few years back but when I searched around I found a lot of bad reviews and actually didn't find any good reviews about them. It's the typical "Too Good to be True" scams. The credit card company will not give your money back since it's been 11 months, if it was less then 30 days then you can report it to them.

Sorry for your loss. I would fly over to China and kick some *Censored**Censored**Censored*! I don't think the FBI or anyone else can help you.

DONT BUY FROM FLASH OPTIONS!

basically the same rule applies but its a little tweaked.. "You get what you pay for or maybe you get nothing at all"

-bad reviews
-people that actually got something like motors complained about the quality.
-they also tend to ship the wrong stuff.

just stay away from them.

Yeah, G----T-- is a cheat. I have tried alot of methods of contact and I have 4 of his email addresses. I wired the funds to him thru my bank and have alerted them and also alerted the bank that I wired the funds to. I just wish I had a contact over there in Malaysia that can help me out with some sort of local law enforcement's email address.

That's an international phone #. Aren't they located in SE Asia somewhere? I read on supra forums, it took 1 year for the engine to get to reach a guy So maybe it'll show up in a month or so . But i've heard nothing but bad from these people.

you (the integra dude) should think about bringing them to court. Someone has to be running the site. Whoever it is needs to really stop. I hate scams and I wish people didnt have to do that to make money. Only if wishes came true huh. It sucks getting frigged out of 7k thats alot of money to be messing with in the first place bro. sorry to hear about your problem.

same thing happend to me with carsponcorships.com only a lot less money.

I'd just take it as a loss because you won't be able to do anything about them since they are in another country.

I've never heard of anyone trying to do this but how about contacting the U.S. Embassy in Malaysia? See what they have to say regarding this issue, just a suggestion.

yeah and that's just on person ... i'm sure we all can name about 2-4 people that's been scammed by them. what i find amazing is that there is sooo much bad press out there and people just don't do the research and are still getting hammerd by these guys. i know 2 guys that were members on driftcentral.com that got hit by these guys for around 2K with no results back. i bet flashoptions has dinged over 200K or more in scams in past year. big problem is that being from another country, there is little that can be done about them. i'm sure the company is a shell and that the "owners" are just made-up/fictious names. really sucks to see people get screwed like that. i did business with andy's autosport last year and they screwed me over big time as well. thankfully they are an american company, so it was easy to get my money back. i just turned them in to the fraud division on my card.

but yeah ... this is whack .
