    This is a very unscientific poll. I was talking to a friend who just got screwed. [​IMG] Im not going into details because I only got one side of the exchange, but was just curious who else..

    roy826ex Been around here a while

    Yep, 1 time was all it took too. The morons at StarCycle tried to rip me on a pair of Alpinestar GP Tech boots about 4 years ago. It took me 2 months, a letter to the credit card company & many, many nasty phone calls to the StarCycle morons.

    I said never again!! I won't order anything from anyone that I can't drive there in 8 hours time. So if ya try & screw me I'm coming to the counter to get in your face.

    I now only order from a select few retailers. They know who they are [​IMG]

    Yeah...I got "screwed" by an adult-type web site (no, I don't surf for porn [​IMG] ) charging stuff to my debit card without my knowledge or permission.

    Somebody with access to your card and computer was surfing! They don't just get cards and start charging, too easy to get caught. Its like guys who deny titty bar charges on their Amex, when my wife worked for them she got calls everyday like that.

    And no, never been ripped off online. But i'll only buy from "known" retailers.

    ROTFLMAO! [​IMG]

    You gotta admit, she did leave herself wide open for that one. I think she's just lonely today and needs attention. [​IMG]

    Yes, I did. What's the point of not? It wouldn't be the BBS if SOMEONE didn't leave themselves open. And yes, every day I'm not with Don I need attention. [​IMG]

    But my story is true. This web site was charging some exorbitant monthly fee to my debit card. I had (honestly) never heard of the web site and was rather stunned when I got my bank statement.

    And if there WERE a cam in the bathroom, you can bet your ass we'd be charging for the view. [​IMG]

    Usually its safe, and you can find some real deals, but buy enough stuff online/mail order you are going to get burned.
    For example:

    Bought a helmet off ebay that was scratched and too small.
    Got a GSXR shock that looked like its hose had been knawed on by dogs.
    The best one?
    Paid $724 for some junk to Mark at RAM RACEWARES. Sent it back and STILL (a year later) haven't gotten my money back...

    Where's SClark when you need him? I don't know him personally, but as much plugging as he does for RAM, he should be able to help you.

    Oh he tried. I give HIM an A+ for effort! He must be one of the finest customer service rep... I mean sponsored riders I know of.
    The problem is with Mark Belke not wanting to honor his agreements.
