Hard to prove "intent". Even though many here would most likely vote to convict!


The problem is getting blood out of a turnip... and the litigation costs (unless the DA was to press - which they wouldn't).

Do you have an order in with Driverz or are you one the many on here jumping in just to pile on? I check out once the token I am driving out myself to "collect" even though I am not one of the customers to get burned guy chimes in. 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.

I have no vested interest in this sordid affair at all -- and probably shouldn't even comment -- except for the fact that as a "businessman" it's of interest.


It's a pretty well known fact that Driverz Inc was having some "issues" with timely delivery etc well before the announced sale....

It was then announced that there was, in fact, a sale of the business.

It was then acknowledged by the new "owner" that, in fact, there was new ownership, and that everything was going to change for the better.

Now we're at the point of missing funds - missing goods - and "the owners" are missing.

Perhaps sites like this need to introduce new "regulations" on vendors? Two complaints and you're on probation - a third and you're O U T.

So many good vendors can operate for years and there's never ONE complaint... And that's as it should be. Otherwise it's only a matter of time before a member gets whacked. Driverz is a classic example.

I think the forums should be open and transparent.. if a customer has a complaint, they should be allowed to air it and the vendor should be allowed to respond and NO one else allowed to 'pile on' or give their .02.

That way buyers can have both sides of the story and be allowed to make up their own mind, without having the forum owner and mods trying to play sherlock holmes and police men.

Because as I suspected, it looks like Jon stole a bunch of money from people and gave them the runaround. If those deals were made public, Jon would have had to address them out in the open. You can only have so many complaints before people will stop trusting you and your reputation will actually reveal itself instead of being a myth.

i unfortunately think that some people are afraid to air their complaints about some of the well known vendors. theres no way that the guys on the left are perfect every time. what matters is they are perfect most of the time. with 3 strikes and youre out, i think most on the right would be gone.

theres a LOT of editing going on ! i read something one day and half hour later they take pieces out... the bit about Jon could lose everything, his house, his car, ect was a classic. Im getting plenty of Moderator support too..I think we should be able to say what we want unless its personel attacks between members.

I asked that the personal attacks stop. Any other editing is on whomever decided to do that.

The problem with these threads has been presented time after time. In reality the individuals who have had experiences with Drivers Inc directly should be putting their feedback in the feedback forum, not here. I would much prefer that. The only reason the thread has not been locked is because we have so many members with issues, and I was hoping that Jon would fill us in. Doesn't look like that will be happening.
