update

up date,

Money finally came refunded. I will now only deal with people who take paypal or CC

I will have to gracefully bow down that it took a while but my money is back in my account.

I read about the MFG and roland selling the same wheels but for a lot more.

Wow pentawheels.com

Wasn't that the guy who posted the pretty catalog here but no actual wheels , then got banned ?

 

[Teutone]

No offense Knut, but why would anybody offer a set of NOS penta wheels anywhere for $599 a set, when a far higher price can be expected in the first hour of bidding on ebay?

 

[benznorthny]

definitely one must use secured methods for sending payment such as Paypal. Offer was too good to be true. I see many cases like this working at Bronx Civil Supreme Court, very common scam. Good luck.

I remember what tusabes said, about him posting here basically selling reproduction pentas in all kinds of sizes and colors. But i think he was banned for not becoming a benzworld partner/seller or whatever you call it. And his stuff was removed. Im sad that this happened to you.. I have been a victim of that kind of fraud in the past as well.

They are knock offs, not real penta's.

It's not the end of the world, but he screwed the wrong guy here. One of my friends I have known since elementary school is a federal court judge. He also has a law firm. He said a few weeks back he would make sure the proper things are filed in FL and with the dept of corporations.

I have pissed more that I lost in a short weekend in Vegas. I just want to make sure this guy Alex has his name and company name all over as a rip off so he does not do the same to someone who really would be hurt over the loss.

pay pal or credit card is the only way to go.
i would not trust anyone from florida seen to many scams from there

 

[Josh]

Considering his website "pentawheels.com" is no longer actually there, it seems he's encountered trouble from elsewhere already.

 

[tusabes]

Anybody save that pretty catalog he showed us ?

 

[mbfool]

Hi Guy's.
Thanks for the info, his last price was $699.00.
He sounded a little fishy.

HERE is his answer.

We have the last set in the factory in Germany can do a drop ship to you. We have non left here locally. We sold them all


1 set is the only remaining one.

 

[Luke Colorado]

Several of us were suspicious. I talked a fellow member out of buying a set.

Dkubus and Roland were retailing them also, so the guy in Miami is just a retailer not a manufacturer (if anything).

 

[neviu]

No roland is selling dif ones. And tuv approved.

 

[Luke Colorado]

Nope, they are from the same source. I know for a fact.

 

[tusabes]

How much are Roland and dkubus selling them for ? At least they arre honest sellers

Are these the Turkish or chinese replicas ?

Sucks you got ripped off!!! Typical Miami Con man, they are a dime a dozen here in S. Florida. We call them "Drifters" and they have taken over:banghead:

 

[GreenT]

That guy was so fishy I could smell it through my monitor...

 

[neviu]

Ok luke, i dont know i hope roland can confirm.

 

[GreenT]

All traces of the Miami dude have been erased.
