Had this posted in the member only section. Thought everyone should know about this.

Just a warning to the members.........

DO NOT deal with Demitrius Franks aka Stretchp71.

I purchased an SCT Tuner from him that he verified was unlocked, I have PMs to prove he said it was unlocked.

Of course it wasn't unlocked. After many PMs back and forth he said he'd refund the $175.00 on Friday 5/10..... that didn't happen. He has not responded to any of my recent PMs, emails, facebook posts.

Just beaware not do not deal with this scumbag!

Always a bad apple somewhere.

Sorry to hear about this.

Thankfully it seems like it happens very seldom here on .net.

And thanks for bringing it up to the masses.

Take the tuner apart, wire the 12v positive and ground pins going to the PCM together. Send it back to him and tell him to at least check it on his car and see what it says. :D

I have sent countless parts before payment and have thoroughly enjoyed the same treatment over the years.

If there ever was an issue, the members here corrected it...

Hell, just two weeks ago, Merc sent me a beautiful new Trilogy lettermans jacket for Melanie. Packed and shipped out, then gave me a total. He has never met me in person either. THIS is respect, and certainly not the first time..

I would really hate to see this behavior disappear.

As a kid my friend down the streets grandpa drove down our street and a guy standing in the road bs'ing with another guy thought the grandfather was to close even though he slowed down to get between the idiot and two parked cars. The guy in the road started yelling at my friends grandpa. The grandpa told my friends mom what had happened (she was a bartender in Detroit). About a half hour later 10 Harley's pull up on the guys lawn rev their engines for about a solid minute, pushed themselves back of the lawn and drove away. score settled. Sometimes that's just all it takes.

I felt really bad when I sold Casey (CBT) my OEM headlights and they arrived with a mounting tab broken off. I offered a refund, but he repaired it. I could never rip someone off like that. I can't understand some people.

No worries, they work great, J-B Weld for the win. :beer:
I took pictures of the install, maybe I will post them someday.

I have bought a ton of stuff off the different forums I am on, only once did I get taken but it was only like 20 bucks. I needed a one-piece crank gear, the kid sent me a trigger wheel instead. Then he vanished off the face of the Earth. This was on SVTP too.

But luckily most people are still pretty honest, sucks to hear about this, I hope it gets resolved.

Exactly...

If I spend another $150.00 I might as well buy a new one.
