Pimpston 65
 

It is with a heavy heart that I post this. I do not like airing dirty laundry but after talking with some folks from the forum they said I needed to post to help other members out.

In June of 2019 I sent every bolt for my truck to Pimpston65 ( Winston) to have the bolts cleaned up, and re-plated. He said since he lived in Detroit that there were folks up there that would do it a lot less....So I sent my bolts in 2 boxes...one for cadmium plating and one for black phosphorus. I then send him 150.00 via Paypal for any cost incurred.

Periodically I would check with him about the bolts status and was assured they were on the way.

Before the covid 19 hit I started texting, emailing, calling and even texted his sister about the bolts..because I cant put ANYTHING back together.

I have been completely ghosted. No calls, texts, emails...NOTHING.
I sent him another email last week pleading, if not begging for him to send the bolts back finished or not....No response.

At this point I am unsure what has happened to him or my bolts. He last logged in here in May best I can tell...….But for these reasons I recommend being very careful when dealing with Pimpston 65 ( Winston Eugene)

John, I am sorry it came to this thread. You and I have discussed the dealings with Winston many times over the last 9 months or so. I think unfortunately, you are doing the right thing. I just don't understand people that do this sort of thing.

The truck community is a small one and it will come back to bite him in the future. Regardless, the worst part is hijacking your bolts. I would have more respect for a scammer if they communicated with me and said "sucker, come find me for your bolts and money." At least they would be acknowledging what they did instead of ghosting you.

Yeah it is, so sad that people do stuff like this.....I have still tried to reach out and nothing....guess its a lost cause

Re: Pimpston 65
 

Did this ever get resolved?

Re: Pimpston 65
 

I don't think it did...Last time I talked to John (month ago) I thought we talked about it and nothing was ever resolved.

Re: Pimpston 65
 

I have a couple of transactions with him.

They went fine.

This is sad to hear.
I hope it gets resolved.

Really sorry to hear that. That doesn't make me want to get involved in another transaction.
