Yea I would have said something but I have watched Zilvia bash people for calling out scammers, so I chose to stay silent since it seems that they don't mind harboring them. Not to mention I watched that thread like a hawk, seeing how people were flamed and negative repped for speaking out against him. Then after a few days most of those posts were deleted and the users who made them were banned. Seems to me that by doing that zilvia may be in trouble too. I'm not trying to turn this into a zilva vs. nico thing, lord knows that has been done before. I am just giving my opinion mixed with some facts.
To be completly honest I think it goes deeper than just Alec, but I won't get into that in public. Don't you think that it's big coincidence that he knew how long to wait before he could stop making contact with people about their wheels, long enough that their credit card companies would not investigate the transaction anymore. But then again since he has been doing this for so long he prolly knows exactly how to get away with it now.
Just to let you know babowc I got 6 MB Weapons 17x9 +17 in bronze from America's Tire Co on 6/2/2007, they were here within 2 weeks of ordering them. Also I paid less than what he was offering them for too. I am not bragging or trying to rub it in I am just saying that it's not back order issue as you can plainly tell by going to their site and seeing the in stock indicator they have for the warehouses.
Another thing is if you pay attention to the pics that users posted of their wheels you will notice something. The boxes that Alec's wheels came in were all boxes of different wheel makers. My boxes did not look like that, they were plain white. Why would MB wheels come in Enkei boxes? See a pattern here?
