$500.00 REWARD

Alright guys/girls, we need your help!

I am asking a favour from all of you especially those of you in the Port Lavaca Texas area. A few weeks ago we had a customer from Texas spend a lot of time dealing with one of our reps on a very large package deal for a 12 Valve Dodge. The customer ended up ordering the products through our website and one of our dealers filled the orders. The Credit Card and name used was fraudulent and the thief got away with most of the products.

So you are all aware, BD handles all its online orders through a third party company called Shopatron. These orders are then distributed to and shipped out from our distributor network. Shopatron handles all the credit card security as well as the responsibility for these situations.

BD Diesel is not out the money, it is Shopatron that is taking this large hit. There is no loss to us but I feel obligated to try and help them out in this situation. Even if we do not recoup any losses hopefully any of us that have ever been scammed online will feel a little better if this guy is caught or even has to look over his shoulder when driving this... soon to be unique 12 Valve.

The truck should be a...

96-98 Dodge 2500/35005 5 Speed Manual Transmission with the following parts:
-BD Super B Tow Twins
-BD 300HP P7100 Injection Pump
-BD Killer Dowel Pin Kit
-BD Cool-It Intercooler
-BD Intake Hose & Clamp Kit
-BD Exhaust Manifold
-BD Turbo Guard
-BD Shutdown Solenoid
-ARP Head Studs
-550HP South-bend Clutch
-BD 40HP Injector Kit
-BD 4" Exhaust

The Piping kit for the twins never got delivered (shipping delay) so the thief will be looking for a twin piping kit. This truck should not be hard to spot, especially at a track.

Like I mentioned above, BD is not out one penny here, Shopatron which is a great organization to deal with and has showed us great customer service and are left holding the bag. This does not sit right with me and I am sure some of us that have been scammed before either so lets do our part.

Authorities have a lead but I am asking for your help before the trail gets cold. So please, if you have any information that might help this situation out please let us or the authorities know. Your help could result in $500.00 worth of BD Products and more importantly, piece of mind!

Sincerely
Dave Dias

Ok that helps. Not trying to be rude but some people just don't realize how big Texas is.

Good luck in finding the p.o.s. that did it.

I know how big texas is LOL we are in Canada not china, with 15 forums hopefully the bum reads it and it makes having the products that much more difficult, or maybe someone sees him at a track after a few beers and needs 500 bucks off a new BD Transission or Turbo LOL

Can you not track the packages to the place they were delivered and see where that leads? Maybe they already did that.
Hope you catch whoever did this

Sorry to hear this.

Shopatron is based one mile from me and they seem like a class act company.
Yes they sure are, it would be easier if they were jerks but they are anything but. Nice guys finish last I guess.

I posted this on a few local Ca. sites, maybee some others can do the same!
Thanks a lot, word of mouth is what we need!

Because we do not handle the security I can not get a lot of details of the situation. Apparently this guy knew what he was doing and you know is planning his next scam. Shopatron said authorities have a good lead but that is all they would comment on.

I sent out emails to our members about this. Hope they catch the crook, but to be honest, the police seldom care much about internet crime unless it's a Fortune 500 who is the victim.

Problem is, he probably will sell the stuff and doesn't even own a truck. Just used a certain model as part of the story. Keeping an eye on the craigslist adds and ebay for shippers based in the area is probably the best bet.

I agree, it is most likely not for his own use and he is either selling it all to one person or piecing it out.

I posted this up on a couple forums as well.
I've had the old credit card scam thing tried using my card as well. Luckily the bank caught it and stopped it!!

It looks like this guys plans to install twins on his truck was somewhat ruined thanks to the delivery delay. Now if anyone wants to order the piping kit for it will set off red flags and hopefully find the character.

It very likely, but he was talking to our new sales rep for about an hour before placing the order. By the conversation with the rep and the specific parts he ordered I do believe it is for his personal truck. We have serial numbers for most of the parts and tips may lead be to believe this is a 97 12 Valve.

I agree the authorities pay little attention to these online crimes but if presented with enough evidence they are forced too and we are getting close.
