ATTN: Joe Dono AKA SCP_Celica SCAMMER

[Hondaracer25]

Someone should make a wiki page on Joe Dono.

I see a few of the other people from JGM have already checked in to this thread and with that said sending a donation on behalf of JerseyGM.Org

Good luck with it guys I hope he gets what he deserves for this.

I just saw that and could not stop laughing...

Has anybody thought about contacting Bubba The Love Sponge on this? I'm sure he would bury this tool bag.

It's been hard to keep up with this thread. GL Japworks... You do phenomenal work.

Seems like the thread is starting to cool down. For now atleast. Any word of this being on the news?

Hey guys. I updated http://www.joedono.info and provide some info and pics pertaining to Joe Dono on the site. If you wanna simply make a thread about this theif or just need a link, all you need is joedono.info . I will be updating the page frequently as this situation progresses.

if 32 people do $500 worth of work at his shop, he should be on the upside of things. sending him business would probably be the best thing to do for him. that is if you prepay ofcourse lol.

Just got off the phone with Aaron. We are looking at putting together a BBQ and maybe a car show and car audio competition, db drag or iasca. If if cant get the local judge to help us out. I will bring my laptop and termlab (official db drag racing meter) and I will do the stereo show and give all the proceeds to aaron. If anyone knows a trophy shop or has trophies to donate that would be awesome, and it would help me offset some costs.

If I can put together this car audio competition, how many of you guys would be interested in running, and how much should I charge. The normal entry fee for a db drag event is $20, is that cool, or should I charge less? Like I said, all proceeds will go directly to aaron and japworks. Also depending on the location will we need to get a sound ordiance, which here in gainesville was $100 last time we got one.

Thanks,

Shawn Fleming

Right, but you should have said no to the donations. It's your mistake. Deal with it.

This can go 1 of 2 ways...

#1: The shop holds the highground, denies donations, and tries to do this themselves. In the process, they loose there business, there homes, there livelihood. Without a business, there is nobody to pay for the modifications, and the car might be returned to Joe. (not sure how a mechanics lein would be effected by a bankrupt or closed shop).

#2: The "Community" sees to it that the shop receives proper representation so that a scammer (and not a first time scammer mind you), learns a lesson that he will never forget.

there is no right or wrong...we are in a grey area when dealing with this, but we live in a democracy, where the majority make the laws and the decisions, and at this point, WE are the majority, and we want to see this kid punished.

If the shop does not have $1000 for the retainer by 5pm tomorrow, I will donate the difference. We are at what? $775 so far, only $225 to go.

Teach this kid and future scammers that this will NOT be tolerated in our community.

And you would end up accepting internet donations to cover your outstanding bills...

LOL!!! On his laptop thread on car audio I noticed this:

Re: Cheap laptop FS
Refs on here are none, I don't buy and sell a lot. I don't have a ebay account other wise I would be selling on ebay.
I do a lot of buying and selling on craigslist. I gave my trust just last week when two days ago [/b]I received old large female clothes, and two red bricks.[/b] I have posted pictures about it too. I have lost all trust with members here.

HP Pavilion dv6000 is the M&M

I don't know if this is true, or complete bullshit, but if it's true KUDOS to whomever sent him the hag clothes and bricks!!!

[normie]
