Its now 19 days since he replied on my email and he doesn't answer the telephones anymore and doesn't reply on Facebook where he is listed as my "friend"
I have transferred $ 22725 to Leonard Borman account for these parts and I'm very worried about my investment, the last of the money was received and Leonard has replied by email that he has received them.
This is money I have saved for a long period to get this done.
I have already many nights now without any sleep just because and this case and it's tearing me apart.
I'M talking to a lot of people right now to get advice and this takes a lot of my already spear time that is already little.
It's now time to seek help to all of you fellow gearheads out there to help me out, nobody want to experience this and it's especially difficult when I live on the other side of the world.
I need every one of you who knows Leonard Borman, Ed Borman or Carol Borman or anyone at GEARHEAD PERFORMANCE to encourage them and get this case solved before the police or the attorney's get this case.


I have gone out with this information on 11 forums so please be patient with me if I dont answer everybody right away.


PLEASE GUYS HELP ME OUT WITH THIS !!!!!!

http://gearheadperformance.com/

I will delete these posts when GEARHEAD PERFORMANCE make things right, every conversations beetween us will be posted and hopefully they have a good reason for this nonsens.


PS: If anyone think's that they can help me out I will send them every information needed from email, fb messages and the phone calls I have done to them ( I record automatic every call)

 

Got anything written down?? Any type of terms or a contract?? Did you use a secure payment account like PayPal??

 

I have everything written down but I didn't use paypal or any other payment service

 

I googled him and he has had problems in the past with other people. There is a topic on yellowbullet about him. If I was you I would contact your bank, local police, the police near his shop,and the bbb. Don't know what else to tell you. You could always hire a lawyer I think. Hope you get this problem solved. Keep us posted.

 

This is why you fucking research people/businesses/corporations when doing business with them. Hopefully you get your money or items and learn from this.

 

Yeah gearhead isn't really well known for its legitness, not the first time I've heard of shady shit going on in that place.

 

I did a research before I transfered the money, but only with leonard borman and alica borman who was listed as the owners. And dont forget this shop came with a recommendation from other people that is useing gearhead performance.

 

I dont understand. Its only been 19 days since you placed your order. I guarantee you he doesnt have all that in stock. Is he just not contacting you?

 

It's 8 weeks since I paid for this order and he told me he needed 2 weeks to get all the parts, I recond he would use 3-4 weeks before he sent the parts and engine. Its now 8 weeks since and nobody has not replyed my emails or telephone calls fore 20 days now.

 

Well I have canceled the sale I did with them and claimed a full refund for the 3 invoices I have paid for, I hope they will come to their senses and make this correct for ones.
