Hi, I spent the $200 to sponsoredwhips.com for sposorship?
I paid them on the 31st of December 2011 and sent in the proper paper work on the 21st of January. Spent extra to get it there in 2-3 business day befor the 30 days were up. They have a 30 day money back guarantee????
Anyway 5 weeks gone by they have not called after calling and leaving messages to call me back? and sent over 50 emails wanting to know if they sent my money back......ok 5 weeks goes by and no money in the mail......is this not the biggest scam out there or what...I feel like I just got anal raped!!!!!!!! anybody else have bad dealing with htis outfit????

You got scammed and by a really old scam too. "sponsorship" means they pay you, not the other way around.

I wouldn't trust any website that claims to sponsor your car, then ask for money, and call your vehicle a "whip".

Learned the hard way I guess.

Next maybe you'll learn that Nigerian princes from Craigslist are scammers too!

Who would have thought...

so they weren't interested...but they welcomed the donation.

P.S. I am in no way laughing at the OP's situation. Scamming is always wrong, but hopefully the OP has learned a very valuable lesson.

I went to the site, and it's not what you think. It very clearly says "get help getting sponsored", it's not that they're sponsoring you...

Still, a kind of stupid idea if you ask me, but just maybe it works 1/1000 times. :gotme

Edit: I looked them up on the internet, and man, there's a lot of bad press about this guy. Why didn't you research the thing before handing him your money?

Good thing Jeremy Boddy was arrested and Dale Davis is staying low, you would have had a scam gangbang running a train on you by now.

Fellow member 'm tr4nch' recently bought something through a company called Projekt Mayhem (Kenji), and the Paypal came up as Dale Davis Industries LLC, and "prjktmayhem_kenji" on instagram.

Apparently the transaction went well, so let's hope he's cleaned up his act and there's no more drama.
