Tom if you could give this a read
 

I am thinking of a new concept like a data base of names that are untrustworthy of our business or trades of any kind if you want to know if you can trust them you can look on the list of scammers an untrustworthys that may help the men like me that will take a mans word until he's been ripped off and its to late you have lost your money an play hell to get it back. The way I see it if they have a certain amount of post that are negative they make the list and it's up to them to turn their business around to remove themselves. After all it was them self that put them there. You may think it's a good idea you may want to modify it or you may say just get a life any one of the three I'll still love you. Its just an idea I get them all the time. BTW I don't think they need over 30,000 post to make the list.

Isn't the scammer,user feedback section for this?

If some of you have ideas and want to do this,I can make the thread a sticky,so others can read,but as you all know,some of the people always come complaining about the same person scammed them and have been in the scammer user feedback section for quite some time,most people come here to complain,after the mail doesn't come,and usually come to the forum for answers,when they should have come here before they sent their hard earned money.

It sounds like a nice idea Wesley,if you want to do some thing like that,I'll support you,and I'm sure other will to.

But as you know,some people don't and won't read the forum,unless its their last resort to try and regain their money.

Tom

Tom you are so right that's just exactly how I ended up here. Well I was just thinking out loud. We sick together and we'll get the upper hand.

IT IS OK TO THINK OUT LOUD SOMETIMES BECAUSE YOU MIGHT GET THE ANSWER FROM SOMEONE ELSE :lol: :lol: :lol: -LIVELY---YES STICKING TOGETHER MAKES ALOT

OF DIFFERENCE :wink: :wink:


WOW !!!I AM SO PROUD OF MYSELF/ THAT IS THE FIRST TIME I PUT A QUOTE FROM SOMEONE ELSE IN MY POST-[YOU CAN ALWAYS LEARN SOMETHING NEW IN YOUR OLD AGE] :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

A profile is a valuable tool,if the person don't have one,walk away

Get home addresses,and land line numbers.
Also look at a persons membership,look at the date joined,honor payments,and location,telephone number.Do a reverse number look up.

These are all good clues weither a person is on the up and up,
Call them talk to them,get to know them before making a purchase,get their real name and address,and use a postal money order

Another thing BEWARE of excuses,thats the first sign your gonna get taken

Ya tom i myself do understand what you are saying .but a lot of those threads in the scammers section can get lost very fast and once it gets so far back there it's kinda hard to retrieve what if one was for scammers and one for trust worthy people instead of all in on section. just a thought.
Like wesley said we have those all the time

TOM--IS THERE A LIST OR WAY TO LOOK UP NAMES TO SEE IF THEY ARE IN THE PROFILE SECTION ??? THANKS LIVELY--

Yes Ron true,but what I am getting at,your profile should say it all,
Post up your profile Ron and let others take a look.Also if you look at your honor payments and membership it should say what type of guy you are,

No Lively there isn't,the list is out on the classified part of the site,every add out there should tell you weither to deal with an individual or not.

Tom I agree with you whole heartily and maybe you have something for a Sticky. Things to do when making a deal. But at the same time it goes back to what you said before you have to read it first and not after the fact. Clyde and my wife both has said that Racing Junk is getting so big now that there may come a time that they have to put a rating system something similar to what e-bay has to help before the fact.

I will agree with that tom i think everybody should post there info i have from day one as you know i don't have anything to hide all my info is right there for the world to see .
But i don't think everybody is going to put that info out there .and not all that don't it doesn't mean that they have something to hide or are trying to scam people .
Some people are very cautious about personal info .
I guess it just is kind of a sticky situation.

I can not afford to do it we have to much at stake. I am not trying to be a smart a-- but I just can't give it out. In my neck of the woods their are some crazy people that if you say something they don't like well there goes your house you catch my drift.

I think the rating system here attracts the LOAFERS and RIP off ARTIST.By saying that I think RJ should be a member only site.And to join,you must give up personal information.

By having the site FREE in the last 4 years has attracted some people that think RJ owes them a place to sell their junk,also has attracted FREELOADERS to come here and take advantage of innocent people that are not wise enough to make deals with others,and therefore get taken to the cleaners every time.Since I've been here I have seen many repeat victims,maybe they should give it up.

Also there are still businesses still ripping people off ,I am not going to name them but we all know who they are.

There are alot of decent people out there selling,but you need to beware and do your home work.If you aren't,your going to get taken.

I WILL SECOND WOODSMAN ON SOME AREAS OF THE PERSONAL INFO---JUST DO LIKE TOM SAID AND WE ALL AGREE ON---ASK LOTS OF ????? AND IF IT DON'T FEEL RIGHT RUN AWAY AND LET IT GO---AND WESLEY ONE OF THESE DAYS YOU WILL GET YOUR HONESTY REWARDED[ I PROMISE YOU IT WILL ALWAYS, ALWAYS COME BACK TO YOU]---YOUR FRIEND LIVELY

Tom the day of naive is over as we know it when we were kids. Its sad but true with no hope in site.

Well I hope we all get whats coming to us. One thing about it want it or not we'll going to get it aint it true. your friend Wesley

Lively I think if you and me stick with this and live long enough we may get all the tricks down. Someone said live an learn an die an forget it all I guess its true.
