Everything just came full f*kin circle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I sent a PM regarding a transmission he had for sale and he told me that he just sold it, but his friend from his car club had two T56 trannys for sale.

His buddy emails me and we make the deal. I sent the money (5/19) via paypal and never got the tranny.
I spent hours on the hone with paypal and they didn't help me at all.
My credit card company finally came through yesterday and did a charge back on the paypal account.

His buddies name was BOB, but I just figured out that the paypal account holders name is John Sconiers.

Can someone do a whois or IP sniff on this guys email or something?
I would really love to meet him face to face.

Punk Ass B*tch

[68protouring454]

that sucks, wish i knew how to do a ip check

[rich-allen]

I just spent a half an hour with the IL Internet crimes division. Seems like I generated enough interest to get the ball rolling.
I got all the other victims to contact them as well and because enough money was lost, they will take action.
I can't tell you how happy I am with the IL crime division.
An officer answered the phone second ring and spent half an hour going through everything with me.

I also contacted the Federal Internet crimes unit, the IL officer told me that because the transaction crossed state lines, it automatically becomes a felony.

It's great to have these guys around.

I have this guys number if you want it. He placed an order with me and his credit card would be declined everytime I tried to run it. I had no idea.

Tyler

[rich-allen]

Thanks Tyler but I have his number, so does the IL state police.
I talked with a dective twice yesterday. They have copies of every deal he made on three different sites.

I may have gotten my money back. The credit card company did a charge back to paypal but paypal is holding the money on another account.

I'm on a mission to see this clown behind bars.

Rich

[jsconiers]

1. I sold mexicanic on pro-touring a sub-frame that I no longer needed. He asked me to hold it for several weeks because he was going to have a friend pick it up. Guess what. His friend never came to pick the sub frame up. He asked me to ship. I said sure and he paid for shipping. The shipper picked up the sub-frame. The pallet the subframe was on broke because it was two pallets tied together. I went and picked it up. The sub-frame is still in my possession and I have no problem with him picking it up or shipping. the reason it's still here is that there is no shipper that will ship the sub-frame for the quoted price. I have an add on uship to see if I can get a shipper at the original rate. Mexicanic knows that and now you know that. Why he decided to post and act like I took his money ($100) and refused to send him the sub-frame is crazy. All PMs available to anyone who cares...and yes I was banned from the site.

2. I never sold rich-allen a T56 transmission. He contacted me about the transmission I had for sale and I told him it was already sold. And yes it was already sold, shipped and received by Leadfoot1 who is a member in Canada. Who by the way had no complaints except for the fact I forgot to include the flywheel as it was still bolted to the engine. (By the way he also bough other items from me. I told Rich-Allen that there was a guy who did work on my car that had a t56 and gave him the email address. what happened between them is between them. When I found out the guy did not send him the merchandise and gave him all of the information I had on the guy and even offered to send him $400 I owed the guy if he didn't come through with the transmission. Now he is acting crazy and decides to slander my name by associating me with a deal that I never was involved with.

3. I have sold a cross member (khoult), 12 bolt, etc with out a problem and purchased many things with out a problem.

4. I did sell a guy on ls1 tech a 6.0LQ4 motor. He was dissatisfied and if you go read the thread you will see what happened.

5. The ls1 / 4l60 was purchased and shipped to it's new owner and is still in transit.

6. Why in the world would a vendor contact me pretending to contact me about an item I purchased on my credit card (well over a month ago) that had been declined because I canceled the card then offer to give my number out to another member? Crazy.

This hole thing is crazy.

I didn't "pretend" to contact you about anything other than our business. You placed an order with me on Feb 16 and we held your order for 4 months while trying to collect payment from you.
I saw this thread the next day and made the connection. Both Reboot04 and Rich-Allen are good clients of mine and I wanted to make sure they were not getting screwed around like I was.

I publicly apologize for putting that out there; if you aren't the guy these two have beef with that is.

Tyler

[rich-allen]

Jody, YES John sconiers and [email protected] are the very same people.

Matter of fact; (bob) had me send the money paypal, guess what the account holders name is?, John sconiers.
This guy can lie all he wants, the detective for Internet crimes showed me how to go into my server and find out exactly who Bob is and I bet you can't guess who the address links back too....

Your going down period, I told you before. I wouldn't let $1,000 go without a fight and i wasn't kidding. You got a fight on your hands and your going to lose I promise you.

If I have to spend money to see that your held responsible I will do it.

John Sconiers is a scum bag, stay clear and don't believe a word he says.

Sounds good.

My email is [email protected]



I'm having a hard time contacting your friend Bob. I sent him the money for the trans on 5-19 and he told me that the transmission would ship out on 5/22.
I emailed for a shipping confirmation on 5/24 and he told me that he was going to ship the trans later that day.
Since then I have tried to contact him via email on three separate occasions and he hasn't returned my email.
I need to get this guys phone number.
Do you have it?
If not can you direct me to someone or somewhere I can get it.
My patience has run out with this guy.
Thanks,
Rich

Re: Trans

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He wasn't out this weekend.....although I didn't stay the whole time. I have two numbers for him. If I can't get a hold of him by tomorrow morning I'll give you both numbers. I owe him about $400 for a pair of LS6 heads so if things get ugly you can use that as leverage. I've bough and sold many things (trans, engine, heads, etc) with him so I have to believe something is wrong...... In any event I'll do what ever I can to get your money back to you....

EMAILS BETWEEN ME AND BOB....


OK. I will need your complete address and contact number. May sure its a number that the shipper can get a hold of you during the daytime. I will declare the value at $900 unless you want it higher. You can pay via paypal to [email protected]. I should be able to get it out Tuesday. A tracking number will follow Tuesday night.

HI,

I have two T56 transmissions. Both are from 1998 camaros and come with bell housings. One will require some help as there is a noise during 1-2 shift. The second is in good condition. I would take 1300 for the clean one and 900 for the one that needs the syncro.

Somebody on LS1tech.com was talking about him ripping them off too. Might be time to team up and take a drive to chi-town....

[Leadfoot1]

F!*K** ****!

I just read the other thread on LS1.

Here is what i typed;

Guy's,

I bought a T-56, new clutch, pedal set and flywheel from John. He was very polite and we never had an issue throughout the deal. (I'M in Canada on top of things) and i received everything as described, nicely wrapped and in boxes. It took a bit of follow up but, as everyone has personnal things to attend to during the week, the shipping delay was really fair.

I'm still missing the pedals as John told me he forgot to remove them and shipped the trans and it slipped his mind, but they are supposed to be coming any time soon.

I sure wish i had known about this sooner! Altough its not affecting me now (I didn't open the trans yet....) It surely would have scared me off!

Hope no one gets bitten again.

Hey John, if you read this, could you confirm me the pedals are on their way please?! (PM at Lat-G would be nice) I can attest your a good guy and will do so with pleasure...but i need my stuff in order to do so! :jest:

Lead.
.................................................. ..........

I see by the dates that i was a bit ahead of all this. Maybe he saw the possibility of making a few fast bucks by the interest that was shown per interested buyers, after my trans was gone? This is scary, as i felt so in confidence i didn't ask for any pics or anything else, i'm tearing this thing down this w-e!:willy:

I have a buddy that wanted a t56 too and John had told me he knew a guy at the car club who had one for sale but was asking too much. His story is holdind up to me, even the number$ are same as he told me earlier. I'm not much of any help to those who have been screwed, but felt i needed to tell my side of the story since its positive and there seems to be a few stories in those threads that aren't too clear. And you know there are 2 sides to a coin...

[rich-allen]

Update:

I got a call yesterday from the IL district attorney, they were asking questions about Jsconiers address and phone numbers.
I wasn't sure if I had the correct information so I did a three way call with Tyler (ATS) and the district attorney to verify my information was correct.

It sounds like they are going after Jsconiers for his internet scams. :woot: During that phone call I found out that John bought three motors from a junk yard (150K miles) in WI. He then advertised those engines as low mile units and shipped them to un susepcting buyers.

Apparently, Jsconiers has a criminal record (I'm so surprised) and they think they narrowed down where he works.

Rich

[James OLC]

For what it worth - I bought this package from jsconiers before all of the fur started to fly and it was finally delivered yesterday (after being tied up at UPS for six weeks due to shipping issues).

The engine and transmission that arrived were more or less as described with a couple of unfortunate issues - the intake manifold was cracked, the flexplate was missing, and the crank pully was chipped. Other that that it is as described - based on other peoples experiences, I think I was lucky. My biggest issue (besides 6 weeks expecting a box of rocks to show up) was john's complete lack of assistance with the shipping issues. He was aware of the problem and even seemed to gaf at first but never actually did anything after a couple of "I'll look into it's".

I can not speak to john's other dealings, and I am not in any way suggesting that anyone run out to deal with him in the future but this has been my experience.

[Leadfoot1]

Good for you.

I'm still waiting for my pedal set and flywheel.

John.....You listening????? :_paranoid

Lead.

[rich-allen]

You should feel very lucky James. I'm glad someone got what they paid for from this guy.

Rich

[rich-allen]

I got home from today and found a transmission sitting on my porch. The box is labeled sixspeeds.com.

immediately I telephoned the company, I explained that I didn't order a transmission and there was some sort of mistake.
The sales manger explained that the transmission was from a gentleman named Ben Lesnik. I told her I didn't know a Ben Lesnik..... then it dawned on me, I asked if Ben (:rolleyes: ) lived in Illinois and she said yes.

After 20 minutes of talking we were able to piece together that JohnSconiers sent her the transmission a few weeks back asking for it to be rebuilt. John told sixspeeeds.com the transmission had low hours and just needed to be freshened up but when they cracked the case they found a transmission that looked to have over 150,000 miles and every gear / syncro needed to be replaced.

The price was $1900 to rebuild the transmission. John told her to put the transmission back together with the old parts and to send it to me without any paper work. sixspeeds.com told me that John made it very clear about not sending paper work with the trans.

Now I have a transmission in my driveway and it needs some serious work.
I already bought one from a lateral-g member so this one is for sale.

I will let it go for $300 if anyone is interested.

The person at sixspeeds.com offered John $500 for the unit but he passed up the deal because he wanted to send it to me. (what a great guy).

Please send me a PM if your interested.

Rich
