TurboRichC

TurboRichC apparently is a rip off artist. He sold a good friend of mine, Marty, a car a couple months ago. Marty lives in New Mexico, and TurboRichC in VA. Marty was paying for shipping and TurboRichC took payment of ~$2500. Marty Paid for the shipping ($1000). The shippers were of coarse slow, but never the less, Rich had his money.

 

TurboRichC sold that car AGAIN to someone else for what I am guessing is the same price as Marty paid. That would be ok, except that Rich still has the money! Marty has spoken with him, and he said he would "Try to return the money", which Marty re-clearified obviously for him ("No, Not try, Do"). There has been no effort to return Marty's Money.

 

This is alot of money to just hand out as a freebie. Marty (and I'm sure the rest of this) can realize this reality. Marty is doing everything he can to get his money returned, and will be approaching the legal system very shortly. Lucky for him, I have many Attorneys at my disposal that could help him in this situation. If I was Mr. Rich C I would suggest you turn the money over to Marty IMMEDIATELY. Your local law enforcement will likely been notified in the next week or two if no farther efforts have been made, and an Attorney placed into the situation.

 

Lets turn a bad situation into a positive one, and we can put this all behind us. The only person this is going to hurt is you Rich.

Marty was waiting on the moving company. Rich was told that it may take 1-2 months, that didn't seem to concern him at the time he took the money..

 

Doesn't matter anywho. Marty asked to get the money back, and has heard nothing from this character.

 

I will tell marty to contact Rich ASAP and I will let you know what happens.

This is what I found out last night:

 

Rich won't answer his phone. He's been sent an email, and Marty is waiting for a response. As you all may or may not know, I do believe it is his also his cell phone he is not answering, as THAT number is pubically availible on this message forum.

 

And.. An Attorney is drafting up something for him just in case he decides not to respond soon.

It's a shame when anyone steals any amount but this story is the worst I've heard. We are a members of a club to enhance the restoration.modification and general driving pleasure of a unique automobile. Keep after this guy and if a fund was started to help Marty it would only take $5. from 500 guys to help him out. I know we can't help every guy that gets this sort of treatment BUT $2500. is a chunk of change. Joel I'm serious about this.Mark Swietoniowski

Being as I just got word that NOTHING has been done, Rich has about 2 days before I'll make sure he's flooded with phone calls and at very least leaving him messages to remind him to take care of this.

 

So in 2 days, no response, I will post a link to a thread on my site (tristarion.com) which will contain his cellular phone number. I hate to do this, but drastic actions sometimes require drastic reactions. If that doesn't work he'll be given the opportunity to speak with an attorney.

A fund to help is a great idea! as we all know when we didnt have 1 of the beautiful cars and finally bought 1 it made life better,and after in sure saveing and shopping and then waiting for a delivery was bad enough ,but looseing the car and the money would be enough to justify going POSTAL!

so where should we send some money or does someone have a engine ant 5 speed if this body i have can be picked up ill donate it

and he can concentrate on the legal matter and have some bit of relief of atleast haveing a car,wont replace the money but it will be a start

if anyone can pick this up and deliver it call me at 715 298 0467

88 elec blue,5 speed quest,

im picking up another 1 soon for 200.00 same cond,same color,so  i will donate this 1

Joel I nominate you to administer the collection for Marty I trust you and you are Marty's friend. The legal system moves slowly. We are Club members whose goal I hope is the assisi in the preservation-restoration-modification and enhance the driving pleasure of a rare unique automobile. Mark Swietoniowski

Tristarion.com thread will have his phone number in about 3 minutes.

 

Lets not threaten him, if you call, lets just call and remind him (over and over) that this needs to be fixed.

This is Rich, I am working on getting this straight with marty.

first of all marty never gave me $2500, he told me it would be two weeks to

pick up. I didn`t here a word from him for about three months, I left messages for him but he never returned. He had my number but never called, turborichc is still posted but no mail. Now find out the whole story before you pass judgement guys.

This is the first time I have been to the sight in a while and did not know all this was going on, Scotty called me tonight and he got through so whats up whith that.

I am working on getting this matter straight so lighten up.

Thank you, Rich

i just talked to rich this morning.he has told me marty would get his money within 2 weeks.the guy has had a few setbacks so please lay off.this matter is between him and marty.no one here including myself,knows the whole story.i do know that the deal was made in oct. 2002 and rich never heard back til feb. 03.he was also told that shipping would be available in two weeks.3 months later....no call,or email.

ps-rich is a devout christian and did not set out ot be dishonest or a rip off artist. aslo,the sale price was 2k not 2.5k.i plan on continuing dealing with him and have offered to handle any parts sales for him.i would have given him 2k for that 89 electric blue in a heartbeat if my shoulder had not been immoblised from surgery.couldnt shift!lol

Perhaps Rich should have sought the advice of his Pastor in this situation. aAt the verey least Rich should have sent the $$ back to Marty before reselling the car.Besides Rich had the $$ so was storage his concern. And no we can't help enveryone who gets taken on a deal but 2k is a lot of $$. Mark Swietoniowski

All business here is "our business", I will pray for Rich and for him to do the right thing whatever it takes, so these 2 members can be restored to the community and be happy down the road after this mess get's settled (because it will be) in the courtroom or by the persons involed making it right . Keep us posted Joel and Rich

Its kinda funny everyone likes to put there two cents worth in when they

don`t know what there talking about. Every one is posting there oppinions

but look do you see anything from MARTY? NO, and he didn`t know all this

was going on here either. As far as the last guy talking about shipping, that

ball was in marty`s court, and are any of you are going to hold the money until someone decides to pick up. it was a screwed up deal all the way around I

can admit, but you people aren`t helping marty with your smart comments

and oppinions. If he were dealing with another shop he could have got a storage bill for three months at $15 a day, do the math, and that would have been his tuff luck.

So let marty and I resolve this ourselves, thank you

I'm Marty's representation. He does not get on the internet as much as some of the rest of us. I am in CONSTANT contact with him. You lie when you say you didn't have contact info for Marty. If you didn't thats because you chose to ignore it. I have a copy of the email he sent you, and your on the Addressee list (TurboRichC@Aol.com). He's called you numerous times (and left messages) IN FRONT OF ME.

 

If someone GIVES me the money, I will hold the car for them. He already bought it. I know he was in contact with you multiple times during that period, but I think you have a selective memory. A screwed up DEAL? Your right, Marty was ripped off. You had your money. We will see how much the car really was, soon enough.

 

$15/day, THATS CRAP. I've NEVER seen storage that expensive, not for a car. If that was the issue, why would you buy a huge lot of these cars and sell them off? You've sold more than 3 cars in the last 2 months alone, I dont think you have a "storage" problem.

 

If my comments and others here aren't "helping marty" then nothing will. I told you last night you have ONE WEEK to return the money. I will let him decide if two weeks is ok with him, however after I was done with the conversation last night, I called my lawyer, and he's waiting for the go from Marty. After speaking with him, he told me that it might fall under "Unfair business practices" or something of the like, which would entitle him to up to THREE TIMES the original amount. My lawyer (which is also a family member) has family (my family) that lives in VA. The papers will be serves at no cost to Marty. It may take longer through the system, but it'll be a very profitible investment for Marty if you just keep his cash. Thats a possible 300% return!

 

I will go out of my way to make sure people know who and what you are until his money is returned, then it is up to you to prove to the community that you NEVER do this again.

 

Its also funny how you told Scotty on the phone that "You invested the money and your trying to turn it around".
