    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • This forum is for placing reviews for parts, accessories, gear and service as it relates to your GS motorcycle. The key here is "GS Related". There is a bit of latitude here but we don't want to see a review on Maytag washers just because that's what you use to clean your riding jacket in.

    Keep your review as factual as possible and please refrain from personal attacks. Posted articles will be reviewed by the Editors and may be removed at their discretion.

    So let's make this a useful addition to the forum! A special pat on the back goes to Hap Call for coming up with this great idea.

    The views expressed in this forum are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of "The GSResources" or the editors.

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I posted about a month ago on this but the thread has been deleted so I thought I would update. Back on Feb. 13th I ordered a set of headlight brackets from Streetworks. They are about the last parts I need to install my new front end. They finally responded about a month ago with the standard server problem excuse. They said they would look into things and give my order priority treatment. Well, I still haven't received them and once again no response to emails. Avoid them like the plague if you ever run across their site.
 
I just finished filling out a complaint form with the FBI Internet Fraud Division about these folks. I'll email them the specifics after the FBI emails me back. Maybe that will get their attention.

It's a done deal. The report may never see the light of day but who knows. I'd love to see their site shut down. No telling how many people they've ripped off.
 
FBI Internet Fraud Division

FBI Internet Fraud Division

I got ripped off by a (previously) well-respected Internet pro audio broker for $2500 , and filled out the same form. Never heard back from the FBI, so I finally called them back to inquire into the status of my complaint. They told me anything less than $5000 was below their threshold of action. I'm still pursuing it through civil court, but the Feds seem as useless in this matter as most others. If you paid by credit card, even if through Paypal, talk to your credit card company about doing a chargeback against the merchant; that should get their attention, because the merchant has your payment taken back by the credit card company until it is resolved. BTW, pay the credit card company the disputed amount while they deal with it or you'll be charged interest on the disputed amount until the dispute is resolved.

I paid with my debit card which is handled by MasterCard. My wife works at the credit union that issued the card. I'll have her see if it's possible to do anything. At the very least maybe the bastages will get shook up over the FBI having a file on them.
 
Let's hope! I look at all avenues of attack, so I wanted to alert you to the possibility any leverage you can get. Maybe your wife will have some good news about the possibility of a Mastercard chargeback. That's why I forced my bank to give me an ATM-only card, as the check cards don't have the same protections under the law as credit cards, written back when our government was actually trying to protect consumers from unscrupulous credit scams. Now, with the government a wholly-owned subsidiary of Big Business , it's open season on US.

For sure contact the number on the card to dispute this. One of the great thing about CC Debit cards is you get reg credit card-like protection.

Once the CC company reverses the charge you can just about COUNT on some action from the seller. They will likely dispute it. If they do keep at them. I am assuming at this point you'd rather have your money back anyways in this case.

We had to do this with a purchase we never recieved. We used our Visa debit card. You should have it even easier than we did as they never even shipped your part.

Hope it works out for you!

Depending on how bad it gets you can try the BBB as well. We have, however, had varying results with them.

Actually I'd like to have the brackets, but i don't have any hope I'll ever see them. My wife was seeing what could be done today through the credit union.
 
My wife brought the paperwork home with her to initiate a charge back against Streetworks. It turns out we had 120 days to file the claim. If Worldpay is anything like Paypal they should freeze their account.
 
Finally got an email from them today. Seems the FBI report got their attention. The latest claim is they will issue a full refund in the next few days. We'll see.
 
Another update. They were supposed to have refunded my money last week but just another stall tactic. I had the wife go ahead with the charge back yesterday.
 
Just got notification today of a refund. It is pending but it is underway.
 
Good news Billy! When they get the charge back fees it will maybe wake them up :|

From the bank or streetworks?

The bank credited our account. The funds are pending to give Streetworks a chance to respond. It was paid for through Worldpay which is a Brit version of Paypal. Maybe they'll suspend the bastages account like Paypal does.
