just so i am perfectly clear...i am in no way suggesting you boycott Steve Stromberg (dba type4parts) solely as punnishment because of my deal. i just want you all to be informed consumers. make your own choises.

and don't throw me in that brier patch either. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/chairfall.gif)

No matter what, I think it's important to keep on the moral high ground. Even if the money is never returned I think it's important to do the right thing and return the engine. We know his address. Now we just need a local pilot and a jump-plane with a sliding door wide enough for someone to shove the pallet out of. Call it "operation sky-light". Do it right, you only get one shot.

I haven't commented on this because I thought that it was blown out of proportion, and I thought that for some reason we weren't getting the full story. Sorry Kevin (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif)

This really changed for me when I posted here, asking Jake a technical question. I got a pm from Type4 telling me what a crook/idiot/etc Jake is. Pretty much every bad thing in the book. I thought this rather unusual considering that I have not had any contact or dealings with Type4 before. But of course as I read on, yes... there it was, the sales pitch.

That pm alone was enough reason for me to never deal with him at all, ever. Jake has responded to my questions, and even spoke with him on the phone several months ago. Never once asked me to buy anything from him. But I will buy from him, he EARNED my business. On the same token, Type4 did basically the opposite.

It's unfortunate that there are people like this involved in such a small community. It's also a shame that there will be people who will never see this, and follow down the path that Kevin did.

Sorry for thinking that maybe you were exaggerating Kevin. As you mentioned earlier, you still have your dignity. Good luck to you. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

Actions, inactions, evasions and misdirections tell the whole story. What a sordid mess!!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/bs.gif) This guy had the balls to post earlier today that "I offered his money back and he wouldn't take it." Now we see the real deal.

verruckt,
Please forward me that PM from Mr. Stromberg... It is probably the last piece to a multi-faceted puzzle that I have been assembling for months. I may also need a written statement from you as well, if so Mr Harris will be in touch with you for that.

Mr. Harris:
please prepare for blitzkrieg..
I will be back from my business trip on Wednesday and you will be the first person that I call.

If anyone else has received any sort of negative PMs or emails from Mr. Stromberg concerning me or my business please PM them to me here or email them to boss@aircooledtechnology.com where I will receive them on Wednesday.

Long story short: The days of copying my information, my products and defaming my character are over for Mr. Stromberg- I intend to pursue this with the most aggressive legal means possible.

Steve still shipped the engine to ya Kevin so I would inform the Feds as its MAIL FRAUD.

Blair got all his money back on a deal due to some Feds getting involved on a bad car parts deal awhile back.

I hope ya do go after this nut case Jake.

There a million stories in the Naked City (about SS).........this is just one of them.

When this man dug a hole, he used a backhoe! Could have been another resource, but instead chose a path to self-destruction.

Surfin' in the throne room this morning, I just sent a wicked Stomberg over to water treatment plant. Mexican for dinner last night ya know.

We have an Alfred Smilie.
How about someone designing a Stromberg Smilie for us?
Maybe starting from this one - (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/bootyshake.gif) - but with the appropriate effluent added.
