My I strongly suggest that you follow the guidance of the police officers. Get the car towed to an impound lot and THEN wait for Loyde. At least you'll have your car.

Loyde contacted my via email this morning and said that he'd be back to working on harnesses in 4 to 6 weeks. I've already given him 18 months to send me the items that I have already paid for and I do not intend on giving him any more time. If he was going to send the parts, he would have by now. I've sent him an email listing the parts that he has not sent and have asked him when he will send the parts.

I'll be done with this issue by the end of February... one way or another.

I'll volunteer to contact the FBI and give them everyone's information. If you would like to be included in the list, send your information to me via a private message:

What you ordered from FastFiero
When you ordered it
How you ordered it (especially if *anything* was communicated by the US mail)
How much $ was spent
What you've received
The last time you had communications with Loyde

I really don't think any of us will be seeing the stuff that we ordered and paid for. I've a feeling that Loyde has already spent all of the money (probably traveling to China). My goal is to (preferably) get what he owes me but if I can't do that, I'd like to make sure that he doesn't scam anyone else.



Whoops... I didn't have my email access turned on. Now turned on.

Bernard Madoff used this exact kind of delaying tactic to steal over 60 billion dollars. It's a classic fraud tactic. Keep taking more money, keep using charm/charisma/excuses/blahblahblah to keep victims from escalating it to the authorities (who DO have the ability to get something done) for as long as possible.

If someone wants to give Loyde any extra time, it should be in a written contract with specific deadlines and financial penalties for violating the terms of the contract. Unless Loyde found good employment recently (last I heard he was either unemployed or working at a low-pay retail job) he does not have the money to actually complete many, if any, of the projects he has committed to other than the straight programming jobs that don't require purchasing supplies. He has a fairly expensive house that he bought back when he was an IT guy for Mobil but he was laid off of that job years ago and I suspect it's everything he can do to make the mortgage payment now.

One other concern is what happens if, or when, Loyde's house goes into foreclosure? Whatever property Loyde has there will be put out on the curb by the county Sherrifs with no notice to the owners of that property other than to Loyde. The cars will be towed to the local police impound lot as abandoned vehicles. From there they'll be sold at auction where they'll likely be bought by scrapyards. The scrapyards will mail letters to the titled owners with daily storage charges being levied (quite high, typically) and then the titles will be seized with a storage lien. All the other stuff, unless Loyde figures out a way to store it somewhere, will stay on the curb and be picked up either as trash or by locals scavenging through it for stuff to keep for themselves.

Given the current state of the economy I would suspect that of all the factors surrounding this issue, time is the most important.

Funny, but if Loyde is unemployed or has a low paying job, he would be making some money if stuck to his "fiero contracts" and finishing those harnesses.

If he took all the money from what people paid him and flies to China and has a whale of a time, he definitaly doesn't have the money to go in the first place. (Sorta takes the money and run)
What does this guy do?? Does he runs a fiero business or not?? If his fiero projects is a "side-line" that a different story.

Sounds like the guy doesn't care about his customers.

One other problem is sometimes people "overload" the business owner and they can't keep-up with there jobs for customers. They might do very good work, but keeping up can be exhausting. When there is only 1 employee doing the work, and if the 18th customer want there harness in 2 weeks, the first customer has / should be the priorty. That 18th client has / should wait. Sounds crude, but its that the way it should go.

Just my opinion...

From a message i received about him.

"He tells me Loyde is around ( at his house on Mondays and Tuesdays ). These are Loyde's days off from whatever job he is working now. My friend says Loyde is at home on these days but has not worked on cars in his shop for several months."

We are not talking about delays of weeks, we are talking about delays of YEARS.

From what others have said, he does good work and this is why I chose him for the things that I ordered. I can only guess what happened to him and his business. Perhaps money got a bit tight when he lost his job, perhaps expenses picked up a bit when he had to travel to China, perhaps he succumbed to the temptation of using other people's money to finance himself while hoping things would get better. I don't know and can only guess.

What I do know is that I've waited long enough, I've heard enough excuses, and I want the things I've paid for and if I can't have them or my money back, I'm going to do my darnedest to make sure nobody else gets ripped off by him.

There has been many charges of theft here in this post against Loyde Roscoe. If they are true, let us remember that everyone has the option of taking their claims to the Attorney general of Texas, the Courts and the US Postal Service so that they can decide. Holding court here will result in nothing. In my business I am in court pursuing payment on open invoices just about every year. If you can't get satisfaction from Loyde, don't complain here, and don't threaten the guy just take him to court. If there are that many people who feel that they have been gyped then they can secure the services of a TX collections attorney, present all the claims to him and initiate a class action lawsuit for the whole amount. ( class action is a lawsuit where a number of people with claims who band together). You can pursue damages for goods paid for and not delivered and/or you can also sue for fraud. That is the only option at this time

Mr. Allison has given me permission to put this here for him. He is in the same situation as some of you here with Loyde and wanted to be added to the people that are having the same issues. This is the e-mail that was sent to me and I am pasting it as is minus his address and phone #. Just to add he has stated that he may join us with his addiction and sharing his build with us in the future.

Paul,

Just wanted to add my name to the list if there is one for people
scammed by Loyde. I sent him a
new (not used) 3800SC GEN III wiring harness and computer for him to
modify to use in a McLaren
replica I have. He asked for my money so I sent him everything in mid
2006. I have attempted to
contact him so many times with only two successful conversations
calling from a different number and
area code. I would have been happy just to get my harness and
computer back except he stated he
would finish soon. I too got excuses of his travels to China and then
later the floods. Since late 2007
I have not been able to reach him. Please pass this along to the list
if there is one since I am not a member
of this forum.

Thanks,

Andrew Allison

I hope that some of you did not mind me posting this for a non member, but hopefully in the near future he will be. He maybe in contact with some of you in the future as well regarding this issue to get things lined out.

I sure hope all of you guys get what is owed to you. If anyone needs to contact Mr. Allison I will ask his permission to hand out his phone #.

Paul

Last I saw of him and his wife everything was fine, but that was fall 2005 or early 2006
