Clutch scam caught on SupraMania forums

[mfroese]

This clutch scam is another reason buyers beware when ordering parts online. Good thing someone close to them did a bit more research.

XTD Clutch scam!

Read post #1 and #163 for the whole story, quite humorous at points.

Edit: *facepalm* A friend linked me the thread and I never even checked the dates... this is from 2007 and it seems I'm posting old stuff. oops

hilarious!

jimmy is a douch

this part made me LOL the most

I had considered allowing you on, but I discussed this proposition with my attorney, Mr. Heywood Jablowme, and he responded by throwing a pitcher of Tang at my head (not the original kind, the new type with more vitamin-C). This is his way of saying "no dice". Heywood loves legal battles, no matter how mundane and baseless they are (this one being a healthy portion of each). I looked in the other room, and he's even putting on his "lawyer battle" suspenders, the red ones with white stripes on them.

Unfortunately if this goes to court, the forum could be held liable, as they were asked to take down the link due to updated parts etc. If the business sues for losses and can prove it, so much for the forum's self-riteous "don't threaten me" attitude by the owner. Everyone deserves a bit, on both sides in this case.

This is hilarious!! That's why i don't buy cheap oe replacement parts...

even if the distributer is now using updated parts, the "review" was for the old one, which the distributer must have realized was crap since he changed parts

a criticism is a criticism,
just like there is movie, music or book critics
i totally back SM in this matter
