Japan2La scammed me out of 2100$
 

I posted a add wanting a short/longblock and somebody reccomended him, so I Pmed him and he said he could sell me one for around 2100. here is the first Pm after I asked if he had one.

On the 4th he said..

I send payment on 9/05/12 and Have gotten nothing but bullshit one liner responses from him reguarding shipping promising that it will be there the next day and he will email me the shipping number. I really need my money back so I can get this project back on the road, this is complete and utter bullshit.

Make it right.

Wow. Two threads against Brian so close together? You are getting the BS I got from him. He gave me the run forever, then he gave me a tracking number that was two years old to buy himself some time. He may do well by some people, but I consider him to be a shifty douche.

Did you ever get your stuff or a refund?

He was just online and did not return Pm's or chime in on these threads.

I finally got my motor. I just had to deal with being given misinformation and being told untruths repeatedly.

About how long did it take from start to finish?

90% of jspec motors have more than 50k miles, are blown, or were swamped in the flood

Thanks for the kind words Allrotor. At this point I just want my money back and Ill rebuild my blown motor myself.

How many times is this going to be allowed to happen with Brian? Has he helped a lot of people? Yes. Has he shafted several/a lot of members as well? Yes. He can be hell to deal with, bunch of broken promises on not only time lines but product you receive as well. But hey, he packages the shitty parts well, or refunds you just enough to most the time not go public with the PITA he is to deal with. :( :icon_tdow

He still has not as much as sent me a pm or a email. Amazing.

Status
This claim has been decided in your favor and you'll receive a $2,168.00 USD refund.

What happens next

Please allow up to 7 days for the refund to appear in your account. Once the refund is complete, the case will be closed.


I love you rx7club, but if this member is not banned I will no longer be a member of this site, its sad its had to come to this but this is the 2nd time ive been screwed over by sponsers/venders from this site. Its a happy day that it was put in my favor but I just cant trust this site anymore.

guess ill count myself lucky, as i have purchased a few rare items through him, but none of the transactions were more than 200$ and he posted pictures before i purchased....

Lloyd

I was planning on getting my motor from him, Guess ill have to try and source one from some where else. Glad you received your money back.

It hasnt been deposited yet.....says on the 9th...we will see. If not i pursue legl action.

Sorry if this is a stupid question but,I must have missed something.....who decided in your favor,paypal?

Yes Paypal realized he is a scammer and ruled in my favor.

I'm glad you"ll receive your money back.:icon_tup:
Keep in mind you can dispute the Charges with your credit card for an Item you paid and no received.The credit card can help too.
Personally I learn my lesson is not to deal with anyone that deal with cash only.
:)

He'll only get his money back from paypal if there is the money in Japan2LA's account to cover it. If not he can try a back charge with his credit card company if that was used to fund the paypal transaction.

An eCheck payment from Brian Galloway was declined by the sender's bank. We will automatically try to process this payment again in 3 business days. It then usually takes 3-5 days for the money to be deposited into your account. Please do not ship items until you receive payment.


god damnit this is fucking bullshit

As a member that has had bad dealings with Mr Galloway, can we please let these last couple of incidents be the last he'll ever be able to cause? The initial part of Dan's deal is bad enough, but to have to deal with a bogus refund as well?

It has been our usual practice to not ban someone at first, to give them a chance to resolve things. Clearly at this point, that isnt going to happen. Effective now, he is banned. Please keep me updated on paypal disputes/refunds, etc. or any other dealings with him that any of you have.

I was supposed to have an alternator and tps shipped out by Mr Japan2LA Monday. Tracking was supposed to be provided. I sent him a pm Thursday afternoon and received no response. Now that he is banned, I opened a paypal dispute requesting a tracking number.

My experience with Mr Japan2LA has been both positive and negative.

I recently received a uim and tb in good shape, arriving in reasonable time. I swore that I would never order from him again, but decided to give him another chance because I am stupid.

In the past, I've ordered a resurfaced flywheel from him needed to finish my girlfriends rebuild. After excuses of why I didn't receive it, he refunded me the money and I ordered one from atkins.

I've ordered irons from him needed for my girlfriends rebuild. After waiting and then finally requesting a tracking number, he told me that his warehouse employee must of sold them on me. He offered a set of lapped irons for me at the same price. Well, they must of been coated to fill the wear instead of lapped and then coated. It's the only explanation I have. There was endplay. I made sure of it because that was the initial death of the engine from the previous owner/rebuilder when we bought the car. Japan2LA's irons had corner seal race track after a minute of run time.

I just received a full refund for my purchase. No note, no excuses. I guess that means that he never mailed my order, nor did he intend to. But at least I received a refund.

@MazdaSpeedDan any update on your refund?

Still says my refund is pending till oct 22nd....

Damn, I really needed a 20B long block. Does anyone here have his email address so I can see if he has one?

Are you serious? You have got to be kidding me. No way you just said what you had just said. Un fucking believable. Some people just want to get fucked.

I have bought shit off of him in the past with no problems.

So has everyone else.....use your head already! The guy took over $4K from just these two guys alone, did not provide the engines they bought, lied about when he would ship them, and has since broken off all contact with them. He was sending PMs to people trying to sell parts because he badly needed the money. And then, when he did try to refund one of them, the check bounced! This guy was banned from this forum for a reason, PD.....if you still want to buy from a guy that we all have trusted before, but now has shown himself not to be trustworthy, then by all means, go right on ahead. But do it outside of this forum, and do it at your own risk. In other words, if you choose to send him money after reading this thread, I do not want to hear about it if you get ripped off. You have no idea of the time and even the expense I incur to do what I do here, and after all of that, if you want to ignore what has been done, its all on you, jack.

Wtf???

Hey I want to hear about it when it happens!!! I use this stuff as real life examples and "learning" experiences for my 4 children. rx7roller02 it is NOT all going to waste! It is teaching the next generation! Even though we may not post-butt in-and make ourselves known-there are lurkers out here watching and learning......

Aye Aye Captain

Paypal is a dirty bitch.

I just got a email with the Subject line "Congratulations!" Then when I opened it it was a pre approval for a credit card, how lame.

Damn lol... automated marketing message, i got that too.

Money finally showed up in my account, so you know they are trying to get yours too.

I filed my claim a few days before yours and my transaction was earlier also, so they are probably just going in chronological order. There might be additional claims against his account as well from people that have no posted here.

Wow! Why have i not seen this before!? I sent him money for a "brand new" s5 late model rear iron. That was September 10th. Still no plate... Looks like ill be PayPal looking for my refund.

Damn this sucks...

I had heard nothing but good things about him and his products...

Japan2La scammed me out of 2100$
 

I wouldn't exactly say things were all good before. Since 2006 I've been arguing that this guy is a douche liar with lousy business ethics who doesn't give a shit about people's time, as have quite a few others over the years. However, he has never been one to outright take people's money like that (it seems he always gave people refunds, eventually), so perhaps this behavior is a bit unexpected.

Super dissapointed in Brian, dude had a legit gig providing good product to our awesome rotary community in So Cal. So wack to hear what's going on as of recent.

You used the terms "legit", "gig", and "wack" all in the same post. Your opinion is automatically invalid. :lol:

+1.

I still have not recieved a valid refund.

Still no refund or contact.

I literally just bought a TPS and OMP off him on the 5th of this month and already received my items. I had no idea any off this was going on at the time. I was just trying to PM him for some more parts and I couldn't. That's how I found this thread. I have never had a problem with him, ever. Sorry for you guys that have.

I don't get it :lol:

But the point being, what's occuring is definitely not cool and I hope people get their refunds.

I finally recieved my money back Via Paypal, His bank refused to give up the money, but since paypal decided in my favor they I guess are able to pull money out even if it is not in his account, so I hope this fuck stick goes deep into the negative.

So stupid to see someone that was all over this forum being praised turn into such a asshole, refund or not he set me back a month and a half on my build and countless hours of stressing out about ever seeing my money again.

Now I just realized I cant buy off these forums unless its from members ive met personally or bought from in the past that I know what screw me over.

This is the 3rd and last time I am going to get burned on this forum. I have had only 1 good transaction and that is with ZEROG for a center console, I have sold my red rx7 on here and got a good transaction but that was selling not buying.

First time was for 11k...... and I ended up spending 3k to get the shit resolved. some of you may know what happend but ive kept that hush hush and am not going to bring up shit from a few years ago.

Second time was when I bought my 2nd Rx7 off the forums and got burned for 12.5k and got a rx7 with a bad turbo and a twin turbo setup and a slew of other problems..... that set me back a few more G's buying more parts for it to get it up in and running *(Special thanks to the Savannah guys for helping me get her up and running)*

The third time was not so bad it was for 70$ and I bought radios off a member and picked em up from his friend, went to install them and realized they both did not work, he refunded me the money like a gentleman but still didnt have oem radios for my car.

Just be carefull who you sling your money to on these forums. Ive been a member here for a while and Im no longer a buyer.

Thanks for the mods for acting fast and furious on this matter, I appreciate it more than you guys could know. To bad Im going to have to use this money now on other things.

Stoked you finally got your refund, but it sucks that YOU had to be the guy that Brian decided to turn on after all these years. He seemed to have a good rep.

Anyway, I promise, we're not ALL shady.

This is crazy.... He Gone!.

I have bought used s5 engine, new rear late s5 plate,s5 rotor. Without any problems. When people.always asked where to get jdm engine, I always sent them japan2la because my used block turned out so good. This sucks... sorry if any of you went to him due to me. Piumm.

Hey Dan-

Sorry I forgot to tell you that the care was only missing the engine (inside joke...I'll let Dan post the picture of a shell his buddy picked up from me).

Haha good times, we ended up getting the car driving and on the road in about a month or so. But the engine had a bad coolant seal so we broke it down to rebuild it and now the car is at a body shop getting some work done.

Here is Moe being retarted as usual.
