I believe the cut off amount of mail fraud (between the lower level penalties and higher level ones) is $100,000, I doubt they've defrauded that much. Still, the penalties for under $100,000 aren't exactly light:
Section 1341. Frauds & swindles Whoever, having devised or intending to devise any scheme to defraud, or to sell any counterfeit or spurious security, sends by the Postal Service, or by any private or commercial interstate carrier, or receives any such thing, shall be fined or imprisoned not more than five years, or both. If the violation affects a financial institution, such person shall be fined not more than $ 1 million or imprisoned not more than 30 years, or both. Right before I met my wife she bought a computer off ebay and was defrauded (about 9 years ago now), the guy had defruaded other ebay'ers out of ~$35,000, and was given 4 years in prison and ordered to pay restitution. |

What about the Trendix car, can we trace the owner/lessor whatever from the tags? Someone must have pics of this car and tags, the car was at a SoCal meet.

there's too much in common, they have to be trendix. the address is right. a white e90 with jk tech wheels pretty much describes trendix's car. they make cf parts. bumper in the shop. it's the shop that tiger9269 visited and has a invoice with a trendix letterhead with that same address. that lady is lying imho.

That's the point...very, very fishy. I think someone should keep an eye on the operations, they might skip town overnight. And who is this William guy?

Someone in that area should call the cops on them and have them check it out. For all we know they are drug suppliers.

[DIR] cgi-bin/ 09-Mar-2007 15:26 - [IMG] favicon.ico 09-Mar-2007 15:28 they tried to delete all the files... best bet is to call the authorities now before they jump ship and we can't locate them anymore.

wow, they deleted their whole site!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
they're on the run. anybody affected by them should get in touch with the santa ana police department asap. at this point, all people affected should also get in touch with the ftc (www.ftc.gov) and fbi (www.fbi.gov). also get in touch with paypal and your credit card companies asap.
