Ultimate Subaru Message Board

Just a heads-up, user SkankinPickle has swindled me out of a purchased part.


Recommended Posts

mk..... skank IS in alaska. he IS a good guy. many folks have offered to take up his slack and ill throw my hat in as well. I have spares of everything he owes you guys and i can help. feel free to pm me.

 

Skank has helped me and many others just for the sake of doing so for years before most of us were even on here. And because of this several of us have stepped up to help. This isnt a federal case and theres clear resolution at hand....why dont we fix this and move on. No reason for all this extra drama. You guys want parts? just pay the shipping. sheesh, youd think he stole your lunch money or something. is it more important to get your parts or tear someone down?

 

Before the flame train leaves the station I know its a huge, unnecessary PITA to pay and not receive more than excuses, ive been on both sides of that. consider that these are relatively cheap parts so the likelyhood of a dude tryin to get rich off "swindling" 15 dollar parts is less than the likelyhood of his story being pretty damn accurate. 

 

btw i have had zero contact w him as well so know this is independant and un solicited

Listen, I understand Skankin was/is a seasoned board member. I hope to assume he has been as helpful as all of you since I have joined.

However, the fact is that 3 members were hustled out of their funds, I was lucky enough to recover mine.

 

I am all for being reasonable and accommodating, no ones perfect and we all get into jams. I'm a college student with an 80s Subaru, what does that say about my financial status?

This isn't not a minor issue, not when Skankin went from excuses to straight bs. Do you know how many emails he ignored, he selectively responded to me.

Then he comes back acting like I didn't get worries about my package, that he did nothing to reassure me.

 

This is where I draw a line, when he thinks to put hi.self above others. That's when my sympathy ends, as I don't think very highly of scamming people whether decisively or by pure negligence.

And I want the board to know, already by posting this thread, I found out about the others who were in the same boat but ended up empty handed with no recourse.

 

 

IF, big if here, he ends up shipping the part, because I am an honest person in my dealings, and because I could actually use a second spare, I would send him back funds.

 

Doubt that's going to happen though, Skank can prove me wrong I suppose.

 

I am not divulging information, personal information for some sort of witch hunt. Only seek to warn others.
