    I am trying to get the word out about Whodeanies Customs. There is a major scam going down right now that effects many people. He plans to disappear and open a new shop in Jasper, Ga.

    Please help spread the word to help prevent other people loosing their car(s) and money. You can read for yourself here: (doesn't start to fall apart till about pg31).

    You kissed that money goodbye either way, now you aren't stuck looking at a glorified pile of shit to remind you that you lost it, sounds like a win to me, haha.

    Ignore the trolls.

    Thats pretty fucked up though. Bummer about your loss. The cops never got in touch with him? I saw the post about the deputy, but nothing about Dean's response.

    No we are just starting to get organized. So far the Canton PD, Canton Sheriff Office, IRS, EPA and Marshals office (due to him not having a business license).

    Thanks for the support Brian. :) Awesome sig BTW.

    BTW, I like MY Fiero to look like a Fiero.. crazy I know.

    My 14k mile 1988 Fiero GT.

    I'm too lazy to read the whole thing but I'm pretty sure a ponzi scheme is much different, and requires the intention of investing money. Either way it sucks and hope your able to catch this guy

    Why not post a link to your own thread describing your dealings with Whodeanie? Oh yeah, you've already edited most of your posts to say just "----". A shame. I bet people might sympathasize with you had they seen how NICE that car was beforehand. But have you really gained anything by editing most of your posts? I didn't think so.

    Here's his thread: http://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum1/HTML/088664.html

    You've missed my point. What was the reason for editing all (or most) of your posts? Perhaps I'm alone in this thinking, but it seems you lose a lot of credibility by doing so. To anyone reading this fiasco at this late date, it might look like you've got as much to hide as well as Whodeanie.

    Just callin' it like I see it...

    Fair enough.. I backed up the thread on my PC and removed a bunch of info so he wouldn't have it when this goes to court. Now that those of us that have been effected have chatted about it. I don't think we are pursuing it in a civil court, its now in the hands of the LEO for criminal charges.

    The thread was closed and moved to the trash can. If you follow the link at the top of the original PFF thread (to the trash can), you will see 4 or 5 agencies are involved now. :D

    rmb, thanks!

    Hey man. I live in Canton and Jasper is just up the road from me.

    Who are you working with at the police? When you say Canton Sheriff... I assume you mean Cherokee County Sheriff's dept? There's no such thing as Canton Sheriff's dept. I have some contacts at both agencies.
