There is unfortunately a LOT of these sleezeballs out there selling fake, restamped or forged parts, cars and literature. I don't know and maybe I was raised differently but I just cannot make money by screwing, misleading or stealing from people and still sleep at night. I just don't understand these people. Some of them are amongst us and act as if nothing they are doing is wrong and still pretend to be your friend. Go figure.

Goes to show you the "sissyfication" of society that's begun. A few years ago this guy would have been buried somewhere. At least a pretty hard core beating that would make him rethink the error of his ways. I can't believe someone that does this so blatantly isn't at least in prison for fraud yet.

Classic Car Fraud Lands Missouri Man In Federal Prison

A Kansas City, Missouri man was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison for one count of wire fraud and one count of transporting a stolen vehicle following a classic car scheme. According to a release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Western District of Missouri, Travis D. Oberg, 51, was fraudulently selling cars that didn't belong to him, and in the end, he ended up stealing $145,000 from his victims.

The article says he used the name Maaco to trick his customers ... Ive never heard of maaco being the name of choice to do restorations.

His stamps are just horrible. Didn't he sell some BE rear ends that looked like a 3rd grader stamped them.

There is a thread on Moparts where someone had a 'buyer' return used parts and ebay refunded his money and penalized the seller. Seller won't out the 'buyer' so no one knows who to be aware of. Luckily, over here we have some idea of who to watch out for.
