They ought to set a section up on this site just to identify  or tell of scams and scam artists in the bussiness.

It's a good idea but...if you recall when the original BAB thread started, a majority of us warned of just that issue. Out of all the customers that hopped on the BAB bandwagon, you're the only one that saw the light. Only after you started digging did Tawidow and the serviceman (sorry, can't remember the screen name off the top of my head) see what Bob was truly up to. The original poster of that thread has started his/her own website to continue to promote BAB's work on his/her car.

So I guess what I'm saying is this...the person has to be willing & receptive to the advice we give.

Also, I'm sure Brett has to wade carefully as being the site owner, he is ultimately responsible for site content.

The serviceman's name was Boomer ( I believe ). I have spoken with Joe Godar ( the thread originator ) several times. While he and I have different views of BAB I understand that his stance is based on the facts that he just wants a decent car ( his words). I reminded him that the ad he responded to did not state " decent car" it stated.." f u l l y  R e s t o r e d" which he agreed with.

 These guys have the air of despartion in their words and are writing to as if Bob is standing behind them watching every word.

 I've reminded them how much money Bob took in and that should they get their cars that it's going to be at some else's expense.

 Finally I just gave up and just told them they have not been lied to enough, at some point they will get fed up they are just not there yet.

I just go to advanced settings in the Ebay search and copy and paste the sellers ID... Then Report Item, then Listing Practices, Ten Fraudulent Listing!  Hope that helps?

Are you searching by phone  number?

Is Bob so much of an idiot that he doesn't change it?
