You guys can threaten law suits, felonies, and BS wannabe tough guy threats all you want, it means nothing. If you are involved and have not charged back your card yet, your a knucklehead.

You should know I called you everyday for months.

Well, like I told Jon the last time we spoke. A "man" does what he says he is going to do and conducts himself with integrity. If you mess up you clean up your mess & don't blame everyone else for your mistakes. It sounds like he has been holding on by a string for awhile and in my opinion should have just closed his doors and not put guys like me through the ringer dealing with him!

I'm out 6 months w/o my car and about $1k, and he still acted like he did me a favor. So, to all the guys still supporting Jon, it simply means you never had a deal go sideways with him and deal with the incompetence.

Anyways, nice to see he's moving on with Newgen and leaving all this in the past????

Btw-My issue was a incorrectly done suspension install (paid for 6+ months ago) so I'm SOL, but if anyone needs additional info from me to pursue legal and/or criminal charges they are welcome to PM me regarding my situation. As I've kept all emails, text, invoices etc....from my dealings with Jon.

It definitely won't help, but don't be surprised if NewGen does well for awhile... people still fall for those Nigerian scams even.

Boyd Coddington defrauded the State of California and investors, creditors, and customers out of millions of dollars, and did it multiple times and people still buy his wheels. As much as the pro-touring market likes to think that were a big market, we aren't, and his company run right will have no problem making money.

JustinB, Anyone who has been left hanging has been told you are sol. Just file a chargeback with your credit card company and hope for the best. Coming in here and saying I lost $XXXX.XX is adding to the thread how? This thread is more like a proverbial watercooler. We are all apart of the communities and forums where this vendor was and is currently conducting his sales. I don't see how members don't have the right to post their opinions on the matter. Call it what you will, piling on or just simply speaking their minds.

I've been following this as I was close to spending quite a bit of money with Jon on some forgelines and to loose that money and simply be told file a chargeback would just be ridiculous. It's not a matter of Jon not fulfilling orders. He has been proven to be lying about picking up orders and saying they've shipped then they haven't and on and on. All of this not just at the end of the company when he might not have had his finger on the pulse anymore but months prior.

Thank you, that's exactly what I was thinking reading through Jon's statement.

The best part of the whole thing was when he said if you bought anything from driverz charge it back. However if you bought newgen wheels through driverz then he is going to help you get the wheels? What in the world? He says he is going bankrupt and didn't pocket anybodies money. Last time I check when someone buys something from you they aren't just paying to keep your lights on, they are buying a tangible product.

It's just mind blowing Jon thinks he can continue to run a business in the community after scamming so many people for their money whether it was intentional or not. I'm glad to see newgen is no longer a sponsor on protouring.

[JustinB]

Andrew I get and understand why people are upset. I am just trying to make it very clear that the people involved need to get the ball rolling and contact their cc companies and charge the purchase back. Yelling on the forums is not going to get your money back. There is no money to be had. I know. I almost put money up to cover the exsisting orders and buy the company a week ago. Driverz is dead and a lawsuit or judgement will just get buried in a Bk.

I personally went to my bank today to do the paperwork for my chargeback. I feel sorry for the people who are out of a thousand dollars plus. Again, mine was only $80. I have one last thing to say and I'm done. Rather Driverz, Inc or New Gen, it's funny how Driverz, Inc was sold months ago to Travis. But, when I called the number on the signature of the Driverz, Inc thread promoting the aluminum lug nuts, Jon answered the phone and took my order and my credit card statement says New Gen Wheels on 3-17-12. Hmmmm....!!

What scares me the most is the ripple effect. I hope people continue to buy products/materials from the small businesses of this hobby/lifestyle. Just because this business was poorly handled does not mean that all small businesses are like this particular one. I hope people continue to support the "GOOD" small businesses because that is what makes this country great.
