72CSTC5 (mod help please?)
Has anyone heard from Carlos? (72CSTC5) I know quite a few guys on here had him working on cowl panels for them. He's got one of mine, and I have been trying to get him to respond to PM's on here, email, and also left him a message. This is going on over 2 months now. I haven't paid him yet, but he does have a cowl I've paid for. If anyone has heard from him, please tell him that I need that cowl back so I can get my truck to my bodyman. Thanks guys. I don't think he's trying to screw me, he seems like a nice guy, I just need my cowl.

Re: 72CSTC5 (mod help please?)
I have been trying to get a hold of him for a couple months. I have a swb bed saved for him and he has some items for me. The last time i talked to him he said he was going to be working night and day to try to get 2 trucks ready for Good Guys in Fort Worth next weekend. He had a long way to go , best i remember. He will probably show up on board after show. Hope this helps. He is a good guy, just buzy as hell like the rest of us.

I was also trying to get in touch with him to see the status on the cowl panels as I sent him a few to do.

Re: 72CSTC5 (mod help please?)
Hard to tell. Does anyone have a phone number for him? He may have had health problems or something. There's usually a reason someone just drops off like that.

Re: 72CSTC5 (mod help please?)
I bought some parts from him and paid with Paypal. They didn't get shipped the 2 times he told me they were on the way. I PM'ed him a few times wondering what the deal was. I didn't hear back from him for a couple months. When I did finally get the parts they were damaged to the point of being unusable. I PM'ed him and told him the parts were damaged in shipping. Once again I didn't get a response for a couple weeks. When he finally got the PM he didn't have a problem refunding the money. He even sent a little extra I guess to cover some of my frustration. When I was dealing with him I was watching his profile to see if he was ever on the site and noticed he wasn't here for weeks at a time. He might just be busy or might have a problem with getting access to a computer. Hard to say. Sometimes life is hectic. I wouldn't have a problem buying from him again.

Re: 72CSTC5 (mod help please?)
I talked to Carlos a couple months ago. He has some stuff i want and he wants a swb bed i have. At that time he told me he was working night and day to try to have 2 trucks ready for Good Guys in fort worth this weekend. I have tried calling and emailing him. He has done this before. He is good for everything, as far as i know.

Re: 72CSTC5 (mod help please?)
Just got off the phone with Carols and he is having some personal issues keeping him busy along with the opening of his own shop. Give him some time.

Re: 72CSTC5 (mod help please?)
It`s about communication.We all go through rap,but a return all goes a long way.Even with bad news.

Re: 72CSTC5 (mod help please?)
I made a deal with Carlos on a set of green seatbelts. We exchanged many PMs. As soon as he got my money, he went silent. I mailed him a $50 money order in August. He cashed it in September. No parts. No communications. Nothing.
As corn pointed out, 72CSTC5's last communication here on 8/16 is time stamped 5 minutes after the last PM I received from him. I sent him one on the 15th stating the MO is in the mail. He responded with he'll ship when he gets the money. Liar. I called the cops in Deer Park, Texas. Apparently mail fraud is ok down there. They don't care either. I'm simply left wondering, how does he sleep at night? If I stole 50 hard earned dollars from somebody I'd lay in bed at night with guilt. After getting screwed on my last three deals on the parts board here, I've given up. Occasionally I look there but I can no longer trust stuff advertised there. I'm having a harder time finding harder to find parts but some trustworthy people I met here are still out there. I'll keep my business with them. I joined this board in February of 2000. Not long after it started. I met a lot of good people, learned a lot, and feel I've helped many folks here. However after three bad deals in a row I no longer feel I can trust others like I used to.

Re: 72CSTC5 (mod help please?)
I`d feel the same way after 3 straight bad deals.It doesn`t help to hear about others with good luck.I`m sure you`ve had alot of good deals since 2000.

Re: 72CSTC5 (mod help please?)
resurrecting this thread. Carlos emailed me a couple weeks ago saying he has been banned from this site and has been dealing w/ some personal problems/issues. (not my f'ing problem!) and still plans to send my cowl. I gave him my address (again) and he told me he would only charge me the shipping charges. I have not heard from him since. Saw the other thread where 2 guys got their trucks back but I know EXTD56 still has his cowl with Carlos as well. Has anyone else talked with Carlos? I'm chalking this one up as a lost cause at this point. I have 2 of his phone numbers so if anyone needs them, please email me at UFLBret@aol.com and I will get you his info.

Re: 72CSTC5 (mod help please?)
He still owes me $50. It is coming up on the one year anniversary of him stealing my $50.
thief n. One who steals. Just think Carlos, your name will be associated with thief on the internet until the end of time. Some day a descendant of yours will be doing a research project. He or she will type Carlos Bernal into google and all that will come up is how you stole from others.

Re: 72CSTC5 (mod help please?)
Not sure who all has straightened this out or not, but he is still around and has opened up a shop of his own now. The work he's doing looks good. This is from C10forum.com today. Maybe some of you looking for parts and/or money can get with him to get this straightened out.....

Re: 72CSTC5 (mod help please?)
If he contacts us here, we can allow him on to respond to this post and the issues he has had. I have yet to get an email or contact from him about any of it that I recall. I can empathize with the medical issues and hope all is well health wise now. But the lack of respect in never providing a response is bad business period. I look forward to hearing from him, if someone can get the message to him.

Re: 72CSTC5 (mod help please?)
That's a bunch of hogwash about him not knowing if he owes some people money. One knows if he owes someone money, just as if one knows if money is owed to him. Also, he states he couldn't contact anyone after he was banned. What about contacting them with the gazillion phone calls and messages they left his cell phone prior to getting banned. Now, Lord bless his wife it all that is sadi is true. But, the story has to be made to sound good so he can try to clarify his name after people has found him out about how he has done wrong. Oh, and Liz, I doubt he will contact here....just watch and see what I tell you.
