I would just like to give everyone a heads up on a terrible seller, liar, scammer and ripoff artist.
Goes by the board name...
drasticplastic.
Jon Krupa
405 Collingwood Street
HT Lake, MI 48629
989 302 7932 or 989 422 6065
To make a very long story short, I bought a cowl back in beginning of April, got the cover and IMPO it was a real POS.
Call him immediatly up on receiving it,
hey John what did you send me here? not even close to what you said it was (keep in mind I had asked for pictures he never produce, Red flag). Yes, I trusted his word that it was in great condition and went ahead with the deal.
I decided it knowing it would never be used by me, it will be best to send it back which I did that same day after he assured me he would return my funds plus shipping because he misrepresented it.
10 weeks later no response after numerous attemps by calls, emails or PM's.
So he got the cowl back and the money! He turned out to be a REAL dirtbag!
PS, Be very careful if this guy contacts you to sell something. I think he will be leaving here very soon anyway!

The ENTIRE seam was soo bad it was about to come apart. Never saw one like it :eek:
http://i47.tinypic.com/rhq0eb.jpg
The pan was cracked in 3,4 places and the plate was so corroded that you needed at least 3 Phead gaskets to make it seal. He painted it with a brush and poured the paint on to smooth out the corrosion :eek:

To make matters worse I found a note inside from someone that had returned it to him already :mad: When I asked him about the note he said he never did ship it to him :icon_bs:

Greg, You have been more than helpful already :thumbsup: Like I said last night, if he has not even made contact after 10 weeks it is not likely to happen :nonod: I'm really OK with it!!!
Do not waste anytime with this guy, he is a loser!
***Just like to make sure noone else gets involved with him :nonod: ***
BTW, You, the site and 99.9% of the guys on here are just AWESOME people :thumbsup: Also GREAT sellers and buyers!! :thumbsup:

Chris, :iagree: Nothing in this case though :nonod:
I also feel that these are not the best threads at times but are VERY important for more reasons than one.
1- To hopefully get the seller or buyer to do the right thing.
2- To let buyers or sellers think twice, long and hard, if they plan on scamming or ripping us off because they will be brought to every ones attention on here.
3- To make sure they conduct business the proper way so they do not get bashed on here.
4- To make everyone aware if they get solicited by person like this guy, just like I did.
PS, Thanks for keeping this on top :thumbsup:

That is my whole idea with this thread, to bring attention him or to anyone who is even thinking of playing games on here. My advice is do not even think of doing it :nonod: It may work and it may not.
Hopefully it will stop SOME of them!!
I got lucky, it was not big $. We need to stop guys like this from getting someone else for much more!!
IMPO, I think it will ultimately result in this site being that much better because the word will get out that we stick together and will not tolerate any type of monkey business on here.
NOT saying it will never happen!

Sorry to hear you consider him a friend.
I have sent him numerous emails and left him numerous VMessages on both lines with no response. I have even emailed his dad Jack Krupa 3X's because the payment went to his PP account and the only response I got was from PP after they made contact with them to tell me they could not help me because it was a person to person transaction. Even Greg on here has sent him a few messages.
Bottom line he is a dirt bag!!
BTW, The transaction took place 4/17 and the cowl was sent back the same day i got it, I have the signed receipt for it by him.
FYI, I had spoken with him 2 days prior to him getting it back and he said he was going to reimburse my money and call the minute he got, never did.
PS, If you speak with him ask him if he has his cowl and my money :thumbsup: Also tell him TUX says hi!

:iagree::thumbsup: We have given him every opportunity to make it right and he will not even return calls, emails or PM's.
I guess it is better to not call someone back than continue to be a 47 year old lier!
I like to think he even got into his dad's PP account than to think his dad is also involved. If I ever did that to my dad and he got emails from someone about taking money, using his name and account even at my age of 54 :eek::eek::D

Hey guys............... I gotta add a little info to this. I have made several purchases from this guy and have been pleased with every transaction. I bought a 20" mid with adaptor plate and tuner, and many misc. parts like a bilge pump w/ fittings and fused switch panels. Everything that he sent to me was exactly as he said and I have been totally satisfied.
I am REALLY surprised that this deal went bad........... I HOPE THAT JOHN WILL MAKE THIS RIGHT....... EVEN THOUGH IT DOESN'T LOOK GOOD AT THIS POINT!
I don't know what is up with this deal....................but I do know that John told me that he has been through many MAJOR back surgeries...... can't work.......... and has been suffering tremendous hardships financially. THIS IS NO EXCUSE FOR A BAD DEAL!
If this deal has gone bad because of things going REALLY bad for John in his personal life, I am hoping that things will get better for him and that he will be willing and able to make this deal right.
Just my 2 cents worth.................. I love boating and most of the boaters that I meet. I have met a lot of good people through many years of being involved with boat racing and I hope that we can continue many great traditions.

Thanks for sharing your experience dealing with him and I'm glad he did right by you!
I am REALLY surprised that this deal went bad........... I HOPE THAT JOHN WILL MAKE THIS RIGHT....... EVEN THOUGH IT DOESN'T LOOK GOOD AT THIS POINT!
It did! Me too
I don't know what is up with this deal....................but I do know that John told me that he has been through many MAJOR back surgeries...... can't work.......... and has been suffering tremendous hardships financially. THIS IS NO EXCUSE FOR A BAD DEAL!
What was up with this deal is he sent me a cowl not close to what he said it was. I called him when i got it, expressed my findings and dislikes he said send it back and i'll reimburse your money and never did. Not even a phone call.
Bottom line he has the cowl and the funds now.
IMPO, If he was having financial problems he should of said it when I called to send it back. Not have me spend even more money to send it back knowing dawn well IMO he was not going to return the funds.
If this deal has gone bad because of things going REALLY bad for John in his personal life, I am hoping that things will get better for him and that he will be willing and able to make this deal right.
No matter what his problem was, he should have been HONEST with me from the beginning. Anyone that really knows me knows that i'm a very honest and fair type of person! Heck having back issues myself I might of just said keep the funds, feel better and keep positive thoughts :thumbsup:
Just my 2 cents worth.................. I love boating and most of the boaters that I meet. I have met a lot of good people through many years of being involved with boat racing.
So do all of us on this site, love boating and are great people, I'm sure that will not change!! :thumbsup:
I hope that we can continue many great traditions. I have no doubt it will.

Tony, I wanna make it clear that I support you all the way and I was not intending to question YOUR integrity! I always try to go above and beyond when it comes to doing right by others and I certainly appreciate it when others, like yourself, feel the same way. I don't like to be treated wrongly and I don't like it when others are wronged.......... and YOU HAVE DEFINITELY BEEN WRONGED.
My hope is that this bad deal will be made right for you............... and I wanna believe that John will make it right because I had such good dealings with him on my purchases. While I don't wish anything bad for him, I kinda am hoping that his reason for handling this whole thing in such a bad way is due to some devastating situation in his personal life. I agree that he should've stated that up front, if that were true, and there is NO EXCUSE for leaving you hanging.
I also appreciate the fact that you tried to resolve this privately........... and, when you couldn't, that you gave all of us fair warning. This is a GREAT SITE and we all need to stand together to help keep it that way!
As it was stated earlier, I hope that this dialog will help in making this turn out good for you.

What can he possibly say after 10 weeks and numerous attempts from Greg and myself to make contact :confused: I'm picky :confused: I have even sent his dad 3 emails because like I said above the funds went to his dad's account. They or he made contact with PP when I filed the dispute though.
IMPO, This was a very simple deal. He misrepresented the cowl, I called him when I got it, he said send it back and I'll refund your money.
Now he has the cowl since 4/7 and my money and never even called back.
BTW, There is nothing to be said here. He needs to go to the PP account and refund $650. That simple!

Please, DO tell the complete story as you know it :thumbsup:
ONCE AGAIN THIS IS THE STORY AS IT HAPPEN> HE SENT IMPO A POS COWL, HE WAS CALLED, HE SAID SEND IT BACK I"LL CALL YOU WHEN I GET AND REFUND YOUR MONEY AND HERE WE ARE 10+ WEEKS, NO CALL, HE HAS THE COWL AND MY FUNDS. PERIOD END OF STORY!
BTW, Very sorry you find it whiny:rolleyes: he had every chance to make it right or atleast make contact with me and chose to ignore me!

Scott, I would normally keep this PM I got from you this AM private but after you come on here last night mocking me and haha'ing the situation I think it would best to keep things public now!
Tony, I'm going to contact Jon Krupa today & try to get your money. I know from talking with him a week or two back he has a big problem paying you back for any of the shipping. Would you be willing to accept just the money for the original price of the cowling ? PM me back or better yet call me @ 517 749 2023. Scott
IMPO, This is what you should have done if you really wanted to help him or the situation not make a joke or start calling me names. Instead you chose to make matter worse! :nonod:
It took this thread for me to find out what was Jon's problem as to why he would not return my calls or the funds.
IMO, He could have helped himself by just simply making contact with me and telling me the truth but no he chose to ignore me and hoped I went away. I assured him from the biginning that I was not going away! We could have talked it out and worked on a deal like $20 per month if that was what it would have taking to make it right. Like I have said before he might of even got me on a good day and I may have said keep the money, feel better and keep thinking positive :thumbsup:
BTW, Both his phone lines are working, so NO excuse for NOT keeping the dialogue going!
PS, The other thing that could have helped was his dad responding to one of my three emails and telling me what was going on. But he never responded but did remove the funds from PP plus declined the refund with the dispute :confused:
BTW, To answer your question about refunding for just the cowl less shipping the answer at this point is NO. He needs to cover everything.
**Let me not forget to mention that I tried to take the high road last night when I first responded to your TOO BAD response by editing my first response and giving you the benefit of the dougt, guess I was right. Very glad you qouted my first response. Thank you! Now you can actually see how I really felt!

We would all lilke to hear how it is that you sit on the board occassionally with wise remarks and generate 15+ the business as someone who contributes regularly to the website financial and with constructive posts. Does this business that you generate help Greg pay the bills here? If so I am sure that he would be interested in hearing how that works.
"more to your whine ass story than you telling":confused: A cowling was advertised as being nice. It was a piece of crap and the plate had obvious halfassed attempts to do coverup of junk condition with gobbed up paint. The seller offered a refund and the buyer returned it. The seller will not pay up after numerous attempts even by the owner of this website for extended period of time. What more is there to this story and where is the seller to tell his more to it story. I say that since the buyer has documented the return and lack of refund that he files a police report on theft by recieveing and Greg boots the seller out of here for good and we move on.
Months llater and freight is the problem with the refund.:rolleyes::confused::icon_bs: Give us a brake.

Does this business that you generate help Greg pay the bills here? If so I am sure that he would be interested in hearing how that works.
"more to your whine ass story than you telling":confused: A cowling was advertised as being nice. It was a piece of crap and the plate had obvious halfassed attempts to do coverup of junk condition with gobbed up paint. The seller offered a refund and the buyer returned it. The seller will not pay up after numerous attempts even by the owner of this website for extended period of time. What more is there to this story and where is the seller to tell his more to it story. I say that since the buyer has documented the return and lack of refund that he files a police report on theft by recieveing and Greg boots the seller out of here for good and we move on.
Months llater and freight is the problem with the refund.:rolleyes::confused::icon_bs: Give us a brake.
Very, very well put :thumbsup: Thank you for the support :thumbsup: It is not over ;)

Give me a "brake" what you know about me OR this deal don't amount to a pile of $hit. I tried to help, tell me what you've done ? And your opinion of me or anything else means absolutely NOTHING to me you little kiss ass. Scott :D
Scott, Let me give a good word of advice! Find another thread to post on, you are a drunken fool like your buddy and keep making things much worse for him. DO NOT think for a moment you are helping anything, once again you are making things much worse!!
BTW, With the 40K + the 15K you and your buddy make/bring :rolleyes: PAY for your membership High Roller. Stop taking a free ride.
PS, Go to your watering hole, have another drink and make sure you pay the tab on the way out. :thumbsup:
I will also like to add that you must really think it is funny to say in your location as ANY BAR. I would say that if I was 20 years old and had no brains. Grow up!!

If this outlined statement above was true you should have handled it the way I stated before. Go read the previous post. It looked like you came to your senses when you PM'd me early this AM but by them it was too late, you had already put your foot in you mouth.
Take my advice and move on!

I personally have no Dog in this fight But if as you say you were, "trying to help" & "end this big mess". The solution is extremely simple. You have a friend that not only has Tony's MONEY but also the RETURNED FALSELY DESCRIBED ITEM :confused: Ten weeks have gone by no response from seller (Your friend) :confused:.
Just a suggestion if as you say "trying to help" & "end this big mess". Tell/convince your friend to do the right stand up thing and simply return the MONEY without any further delay. I'd be willing to bet a dollar to a doughnut that this thread would suddenly and misteriousely dissapear. :eek:

Another very, very well stated post :thumbsup: You are absolutely correct! It would have disappeared immediately the first day if the seller would have made contact, told me the truth and tried to work something out! Instead he has chosen to ignore Greg and myself right from the beginning.
BTW, He was not trying to help :nonod: he was trying to be a wise azz. He even thought his comments were funny :nonod:

Tony,
what i have found in situations like this is usaually the seller thinks they did no wrong and they have a dozen or so freinds come on here stating they are good guys. funny thing is one of the guys that posted about the bad engine i bought came on and said he cant believe it cause the seller always treated him good. now this individual got stung good on a deal and is crying the blues, it took all i had not to post that the seller is a good guy. in the end you end up with alot of stress over something that will most likely not get resolved , so for the most part you are better to just eat it than to spend your time and energies on something like this, it just causes lost sleep and un-needed agrivation. I spent a month posting about my bad deal and in the end all i ended up with was less sleep and alot of stress. good luck with this.
Tony
Dutch is right.
Some times a piece of sh*t thinks they are in the right and typically won't lose sleep, it is easier to drop it

I know it becomes more about principle than money. You let the post here for all to read. It gets to the point where it becomes more heartache than it is worth, and then the other party has won due to the fact that they obvioulsy dont give a ****. In the end though, sooner or later all crooks get what they deserve. It may be a casual encounter when they turn around at a store and there is the guy they screwed, or someone finally breaks and goes looking for the theif, or someone steals from them, but they will pay.

Just like to add some important facts before we close it.
The reason what makes this place soo AWESOME is:
A- All the great,helpful and stand up people we have.
B- Probably the MOST IMPORTANT reason is the Administrators, Greg and Raceman! :thumbsup::thumbsup:
I like to point out that Greg contacted me in the beginning, keep in mind it was in the middle of the site update to see if he could be of any help. Always answered my questions and never blew me off. That to me speaks volume about this place and the people behind it!! :thumbsup:
PS, I would also like to make clear that I do know and realize some deals CAN go wrong, someone being picky, what one person thinks is good be not be good for someone else, person selling something not really having a clue about it etc.
IMPO, The important thing is how the correction is handled or rectified, of course within reason!!

Thats a good start for a Great idea. But There might be a liability on Scream and fly's shoulders (the business) because it would be second hand information posted as well as Xtra work for Greg. But, And I know Greg has his plate full with this site among other things. There might be a way. We all have a reputation bar that rarely gets used apparently. Maybe there could also be a sell/buy point system added that the buyer/seller could grade the transaction. Kind of like E-bay (I really didn't want to say that).
Just a thought to a Great Idea. :thumbsup:

Let's say he was, how about the 3,4 emails I sent his dad about the deal and how that money got into his account plus all my contact info in case he had any questions and received 0 response. Who knows, maybe this is not the first time he has put his dad in a scam/ripoff type deal :confused:

Ok I have "rething" what I posted. And that statement (birds of a feather flock together) was instilled in me at an early age. I have found over the years it to be 99% true. So there is still that 1%. Even though, I would never admit to be a friend of someone or associate with a person that conducted themself like Jon has.
I saw your post where you spoke with him in an attempt to get him to straighten the situation out. And I applaud you for that effort. But obviousely your friendship,influence and reputation as a friend mean absolutely nothing to him. That's the difference in being a friend of and being a friend to. I personally don't need or want friends like that. :cheers:

Bud, Another well stated post and :iagree: :thumbsup::thumbsup:
But I still like to give Mercdrag a thanks for PM'ing me like a class type guy and even trying to make this guy do the right thing.
Sometimes you just can not make a thief change his ways. IMPO, This guy has NO respect for anyone.
Greg has even made numerous attempts with no success and IMO one attempt from him should have been more than enough. IMO, he (Greg) did not even need to be involved but he really is a class act, likes to have us be accountable for our actions on here and that is what makes his site that much better :thumbsup:
This guy had his own agenda from the day he sent the cowl to me. It was IMO junk so he had nothing to lose. He got money for a PO junk so now he has it back and the money. WIN<> WIN situation for him.
PS, He will not get away with it that easy though ;)
Thanks again.

I concur. I also think this fellow needs a good old fashioned ass whooping! :mad: What the hell is wrong with people? :confused: Is it so hard to be honest? :o :o :o
You are so right Paul. It's like smiling and frowning. It takes more muscles to frown than it does to smile. I have found it easier to be honest than to be decietful. Once you decieve/lie you have to continue to decieve and lie.
I still think we need to form several S&F groups in districts/regions and do like the Navy Seals do. When someone claims to have been a Navy Seal etc. that actually wasn't (and they find out about it) they have a Team that goes out and face to face confronts that indiviual. I sincerely believe if we had a core group in several districts/regions that would go out and confront these (for better words) Scammers. Once the word got out :eek:. Alot of what has happened here would cease.

I went back and searched some of his for sale threads/posts. And there seems to have been no complaints (at lease not posted in open forum). OK so we have here an isolated case, but it is still a case of wrong doing isolated or not.
IMO one of several things should have happened and hasn't.
(1) Seller should have never told buyer to return item for a refund and not refunded :eek:.
Seller now has cowl and money???????:rolleyes:
(2) Seller could at least make contact with buyer after over 10 weeks :confused:. Friends have supposedly confronted seller about this situation.
(3) Seller could have posted on this thread, told buyer to kiss off, Item was sold as is no refund and sent item back to buyer.
The strange thing to me here is. Friends supporting seller never posted sellers response once he was confronted by them?????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Seller hasn't been active on S&F sence the latter part of May 5-26-2010?

Please, save your trouble. Not trying to be a wise AZZ but in this case/deal it is not important at all. If he did right by you he did not in this case/deal period end of story.

:iagree: Good info and post!! The deal took place the early part of April and he was on here well after the deal took place. I would bet he has been on here under a different name.
But as you mentioned he has been contacted by a few of his friend and still nothing.
You can even go back and read the response Scott Gilmore (his good friend) put up after talking with him about trying to negotiate the shipping now. At this point it is all!!
If he did come on here now he would probably play the sick or hospital card. How about the phone calls to both his lines plus the emails to his dad. NO excuse good enough!
