    You’re a great dude we all know this but your honesty is your downfall funny thing to say about a genuine car dealer who I would love to buy a car from and I love your channel love your video’s etc etc etc etc,, Look at what he did for the sake of $500 dollars he just made a mockery of himself and his fake corvette club I know you are a very decent fella and if he asked you for $500 you probably gave it to him for him to send it back to you in the future but he is a dork ,, God bless you and your flying wheels business ,, How low would he really go to fraud so little doesn’t make sense let him keep it and he can buy a few hamburgers and chips because he could move them like no one on earth,😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 He is a low down waste of space and fresh air,,, Can’t imagine him giving his fake car club any bonuses ya right,, See you in the next one my friend,,

    Scammers are EVERYWHERE, Do Not let Him get AWAY WITH IT😤 I have been ripped off by so many People in my life, I bought a House for my sister because She kept getting evicted, and She Ripped Me off, for multiple Mortgage Payments, and Then I ended up with less than half the proceeds for the property I put All the money down for in my name. She Ruined My Credit, and She didn’t Care at All. I paid A Lawyer and It just cost me more money, He did absolutely nothing for me. But cost me over $10,000! Trust No one. Now I give too those in need, but TRUST NOBODY. Do not Let This RIP OFF ARTIST GET AWAY WITH STEALING FROM YOU. Put His Videos All over the Internet. This is the first time I’ve seen Your Video, but I completely understand where You’re coming from, You Cannot Be a Good Person, Everyone takes advantage of Your Good Heart.😰

    I agree! Crooks and creeps should be exposed! A friend of mine posted on Facebook, Twitter, ect photos and details of a guy who assaulted him as a child. I asked if he was worried about being sued. He said that was his his goal. There is no statute of limitations in our state for certain crimes against children so he was hoping the guy would return and try to sue. He said the guy already has convictions in Ohio so it wouldn't be hard to prove. I cheered him on, but I also pointed out that guy looked scary AF. I don't know if I would be taunting him. People are crazy.

I than came back to your shop "aka dealership" and I said "Thank you for your effort and Time, What do I owe You" You said I owe you NOTHING!!!! I ask why, you said "WE COULD NOT FIX WHAT YOU WANTED US TO FIX" I said "But you spent hours on this" and your reply was " WE COULD NOT DO WHAT YOU ASKED"........

    Yes, the card has to work as intended, chip first and if the chip is damaged after 3 attempts it let's you swipe. Card must be physical unless they are using a phone payment option. You can't pay credit with credit and the actual numbers of the card is what the POS uses to determine whether it's a credit or debit card. Sometimes because of limits set by banks, a debit can be ran as credit to bypass it or the client will have to call the bank. Some electronic banks have limitations like Chime, you can't have automatic payments coming from those accounts, like for a lease, but will allow a service like Netflix.

The Apple Store and Google Play Store require a form of credit on file to be able to download even free apps. They want a simple flip phone, buy minutes pay as you go, fine. Out of your monthly allowance which I tell them that they have to learn how to budget. As long as they are living under my roof, with free room is board, it's my money that I worked Very hard for and they can wait and buy all of their Wants and Wishes when they are paying their own way. My mother was a strict parent when it came to financing our Needs vs Wants. And we had more than enough income; a nice home, neighborhood, good schools, country club membership. Of course she did let us get a Want a few times a year, but she was a stone wall not giving in to our daily whims pestering her. There were a few times when she refused to give in that I absolutely hated her because EVERYONE ELSE'S PARENTS let Them get one, or Do That!!! But now, many decades later, I am at age 71, an aging Boomer, I thank her greatly while I quietly weep inside seeing today's parents not strong enough, getting in more and more debt because they won't say NO, as my mother did a hundred times more than she ever said Yes. 🧓

I see a guy drives past my truck stops his car pops trunk pops hood. Then when I’m leaving he’s getting a boost. I didn’t stop to help cause I was not called. I could of check his battery and alternator and told him the problems with his car. But was not asked. All the people I’ve helped in the last two years. Has not lead to one call, not one that 20-30 people saying they will recommend me that I worked for free for. Even Christmas Day I changed a guys tire for him. He was already there over 30 minutes in minus 30. I had him in his way in five minutes. I see my neighbor trying to unlock their car two hours. Had it done in a minute all he had to do was ask. But no he messed up the weather stripping on his friends car. Even when the own was asking him to ask me. No charge.

    I don't know what the world you're talking about but people get ahead like that all the time. Have you not seen the US government. They are a massive corporation that completely embezzles and launders the money of the US taxpayer For the sole purpose of manipulating people overseas as well as paying off lobbyist for favors and lastly to indulge in the lifestyle that they want to live while stacking their accounts with our money by the billions. Why do you think they were so hyper focused on Ukraine when the reality is they were the ones who caused Russia to invade. Well then alongside the help of France and Germany within the UN. Russia warned them that if they continue to flirt with Ukraine becoming part of NATO and bringing the military nuclear powers of their adversaries to their borders which of course is a route in which they have been invaded as a country the most and its history Then they would indeed have no other choice but to invade it and they told Russia Oh well kick rocks. Now of course they have a blank check of $150 billion that can't be audited that they can now launder into their offshore accounts and shell companies. So yes my friend These types of people get ahead doing this and they get ahead often.

Based on this video, anyone using a JP Chase credit card could charge back any online purchase. The guy in the video has multiple layers of documentation verifying the details of the transaction and the buyer that online transactions don't. Common sense should have solved this situation. And the Chase policy is so absurd it makes me wonder about whether banks are/can scam the system themselves. First issue the charge back and tell then when the seller appeals w paperwork tell them "tough break. Bank policy." Then turn around and tell the card holder the charge back was reviewed on appeal and has been denied. And the bank pockets the $.

    I sold cars for thirty years. And, yes, I could always spot thieves and scammers. In 1992 I had a customer who "bought" a car from my dealership. He said he was moving to Las Vegas that night. I noticed that his Driver License photo had a light blue curtain in the background. Our finance department accepted it anyway. My commission on the sale was $348.00. Since I had memorized the license plate on the Cadillac he arrived in that evening, the police were able to locate him in Las Vegas within 48 hours. The car was recovered, and the dealer let me keep the pay because I helped solve the case.

They can legally do this because most credit card companies have an agreement in their contract that if a customer is unsatisfied with their purchase for whatever reason, they can cancel and refund 100% of the purchase within a certain time frame, could be 30-60 days or something like that. That's why merchants take a risk when they signup with a credit card processing company for business, especially if you own a mom-pop business.
