Rotary shack horror story
I Found under the California Attorney General website.
http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/1...mputer-crimes/
On Tuesday, Kamala D. Harris, California’s attorney general, announced the creation of the nation’s largest e-crime unit, a group of 20 investigators and prosecutors whose sole mission will be to thwart and prosecute cybercrimes like identity theft, Internet scams, computer theft, online child pornography and intellectual property theft across the state. The unit, formed in August, has already filed 20 criminal cases and is investigating an additional 24 cases.

Good Information I found in this Website about Con Artists :
http://money.howstuffworks.com/con-artist.htm
Con Artists make money through deception. They lie, cheat and fool people into thinking they've happened onto a great deal or some easy money, when *they're the ones who'll be making money. If that doesn't work, they'll take advantage of our weaknesses -- loneliness, insecurity, poor health or simple ignorance. The only thing more important to a con artist than perfecting a con is perfecting a total lack of conscience.
What does the average con artist look like? Despite what you may think, he isn't always a shady-looking character. A con artist is an expert at looking however he needs to look. If the con involves banking or investments, the con artist will wear a snappy suit. If it involves home improvement scams, he'll show up wearing well-worn work clothes. Even the basic assumption that the con is a "he" is incorrect: there are plenty of con women too.
You might think you can spot a con artist because he's someone you instinctively "don't trust." But the term con artist is short for confidence artist -- they gain your confidence just long enough to get their hands on your money. They can be very charming and persuasive. A good con artist can even make you believe he is really an old friend you haven't seen in years.
Con artists do share certain characteristics, however. Even the best con can only go on for so long before people start getting suspicious. For that reason, con artists tend to move frequently. They may have a job that allows this, or they might claim to have such a job. Railroad worker, carnival worker and traveling salesman are all parts con artists play to cover up their constant relocations.
It would be impossible to catalogue every con, because con artists are inventive. While many cons are simply variations on ones that are hundreds of years old, new technologies and laws give con artists the opportunity to create original scams. Many cons tend to fall into a few general categories, however: street cons, business cons, Internet cons, loan cons and home improvement cons.

I'll tell you what I am saying....
Stop crapping in other people's threads, or I will show you the door personally. You already have been warned, and one of your posts was already throw in the circular file for doing this. Don't push it, chief.

um, dude, you are stringing them brain farts together or something?
This thread isnt about rotary works. Read it again. Although, its obvious to me that you knew who it was about, based on your first comment that was deleted. you use two shops, and you said "anything to get room for my car in his shop", so its clear you knew what was up. Either way, leave it alone from now on.

It looks you are not aware of your mechanic's behavior... no just here in this forum.
Thats why I put the article I found in the web about Con Artist so the members on this forum be aware when they face one.
Another history from your Friend's resume its back from September 2011 this one comes direct from the RX7forums.com

I dealt with rob a few months ago. I guess I was a lucky guy as I got my part right away.sucks to hear all this negative stuff but I guess I should have checked first .just kinda hard to find a local shop that doesn't try and send me to the cleaners anytime I need something for my 7. Thanks for the informative read I especially liked the section where you describe into detail on what a con is and how to spot one I don't think I would have noticed one before.well good luck to everyone ill make sure to keep a vigilant eye out for any scammers on here.

7's only is in Buttonwillow and they are a great, knowledgeable bunch of RX-7 lovers. When my FD broke down at the track, they set me up quickly, cheaply and with a smile. lol, The owner even offered to buy my FD!

I understand when someone does mistakes and anknowledges and correct it.
or at very least start making right.But I realized Rob is not that type of person and doesn't know to operate his own business.
I really don't know from where he learned his bad behavior and He keeps doing it.
I want to give you some referal of good mechanics I dealt in the past and they seems to be they know how to treat customers and they know all generation of rotaries,they are:
Lucky 7 (Duarte) http://lucky7racing.net/
and J&G Automotive "Gazo" (Glendale) http://jandgautomotive.net/
Those shops are customer oriented and their prices are fair.
