Hope you get your money back from this incompetent scumbag. I've had a bad experience with Brad as well and will never deal with him again. With so many stories about this guy, I wonder how he is still in business. In Brad's mind, everyone else is to blame.

You know, I doubt that I'll ever get my money or the parts I had sent him, which also cost me a ton of money but some day he'll run into one of his unhappy, scammed customers, and I am sure sparks will be flying...if you know what I mean.
Looks like he's started screwing people over on track frames, too... see his FB page:

Ha.
"Hey brad, where is my frame that you said it's finish about 2 months ago. Be a professional man. I haven't even got contact from you unless I post something in here. Now I don't care about your frame anymore. I want my full refund."

Love the way your now grabbing wall post from my Facebook .
Customers frame already shipped .
RideMonkey can keep hacking my sig and doing what they can to slander my name but it's not working .
Blue - Spoke with Garrett your not doing anything but making yourself look bad now .
you are doing a good enough job with that. and its libel, not slander....didnt we discuss this already?
With a thread of this nature still being bumped and my signature online being hacked by the RM moderators then I believe this thread has gone far enough.
It's obvious that the powers that be here in this fourm are determined to post any and all bad info they can be it true or post taken out of context from my Facebook page .
This is a public form of Slander as I have stated before .
ok I stayed out of this, but you are truly a moron. 1 - give your the people you scammed their money back. 2 - IT'S LIBEL YOU ****ING RETARD. IF YOU WANT TO ACCUSE PEOPLE OF THINGS, GET IT RIGHT.
I have to play nice.
Also, it's not even libel given that it is "facts", not something "implied to be factual".

DEFORMATION of character?
Really? is this a troll? NO one can possibly be this ignorant? I hope your "lawyer" went to the same school that you did. The written statement would be a hoot to read.
Definition of libel 2: use of print or pictures to harm someone's reputation. Until 1964, a person could prove that they had been libeled simply by showing that the statements in question were incorrect. In 1964, the Supreme Court decided that public officials had to prove that the statements in question were made with "actual malice"-for the purpose of harming the person's reputation. As a result of the Supreme Court case, Time, Inc. v. Firestone (1976); private individuals only have to prove negligence, rather than "actual malice," on the part of the press.
Definition of libel 3: Defamation of an individual or individuals in a published work, with malice aforethought. In litigation, the falsity of the libelous statements or representations, as well the intention of malice, has to be proved for there to be libel. In addition, financial damages to the parties so libeled must be incurred as a result of the material in question for there to be an assessment of the amount of damages to be awarded to a claimant. This is contrasted to slander, which is defamation through the spoken word.

Brad -
I did not, in fact, "bump" this thread. On 09/17, mongoose2231 posted and also emailed me to let me know that the agreement that he would delete his posts in order to work out an arrangement with you, had fallen through. He posted here and 30 minutes later, I undeleted his posts per his request, and posted a comment accordingly.
I have not posted anything here that was not either:
- Part of the public record and topical to the discussion at hand
- My opinion on the facts that have been presented
Commenting that my posting of your public Facebook page is revealing public information is laughable, you have a link to your blog in your signature which contains a direct link to your Facebook page. This is public information, not anything where you have any reasonable expectation of privacy.
I am not "deforming" your character. I have posted opinions on how your customers perceive your business methods and linked to threads that show a pattern of behavior.
Incidentally, truth, reasonable belief of the truth, opinion, or fair comment on a matter of public interest are all defenses of libel. Just because you don't like what is said, doesn't mean it's libelous. Also, you are considered a public figure as a business owner so you will be forced to tolerate more of this than, say, I Are Baboon does.
In fact, I think I have been somewhat gracious in not banning you long ago for the mistreatment of our members. I think you have the right to defend posts made on a message board especially if you have evidence that is contrary to what is said.

Oh also, PS: I do not own RM and never have. It's owned by a Yahoo! subsidiary now. Good luck.
And IAB puts up with A LOT.
So Brad, are you now suuing for libel and not slander? Have your charges changed? That's a whole new case, you know, and probably involves a different type of attorney.
You must have a lot of money to sue Yahoo subsidiaries!
Fraz, you didn't know BV is a Transformer?DEFORMATION of character?

All you had to do was run your business(if it's even a real business) in an honest & up front manner & none of these (MULTIPLE) posts would have even gotten started Brad. Seriously..
It's not the rest of the world.
It is YOU!
In my not so humble opinion, you are a scumbag crook mooch bastard. But that's only my opinion..
PS. Spell check is your friend.

Okay, so in an effort to give Brad a fair shake (I don't know why it occurred to me that he might have gotten anything but), I went through and read all of the previous Nemesis Project problem threads.
Frankly, I am shocked - SHOCKED - at how little I actually said about Brad despite his insistence - and multiple emails to the Ridemonkey administrator (hey Brad, that's me, just FYI - I get those emails) that I've been slandering him. Interestingly, I've actually gone out of my way to say that no third party observer can really tell if Brad is mostly telling the truth, but the end result is an angry customer so it really doesn't matter.
In an effort to be reasonable, I have removed the screenshot since we won't know the outcome of that unless Donge steps forward to comment in this thread, and I don't think it's fair for me to present something like that without finding out if it was resolved to the buyer's satisfaction.
Aside from that (and, really, even that), I stand by my comments. Brad's vehemence actually had me doubting what went on in past threads.

you finally learned the difference b/w slander and libel i see
Fellow Ridemonkey forum members, I would like you to know that Brad had emailed me with his usual bull****.
I would like to point out that I had emailed him several times after our agreement and got the usual bull**** answer. OH, I haven't made it to the PO... the package is ready I just haven't had any time with my production run and all...the usual bull, then the replies stopped coming in. Ofcourse, that really, really got me pissed off, hence my reposting in this thread. This guy got a ton of 2nd and 3rd and so on chances, and yet he still fails to do right by those who have been scammed. Anyway, I don't think we should just stand aside and allow this moron to just get away with this. And for your info Brad, it's "Defamation of Character" NOT Deformation. It just goes to show....
so he wont send you YOUR parts back because you are posting TRUTHS about him online?
id say that "legal" representation will be a waste of money on his end
id say that "legal" representation will be a waste of money on his end
Shhhh, you are going to ruin the fun. Maybe he will get his due karma and unknowingly hire stinky for his legal representation.
I only want others to get the message. This guy is no good, avoid him at any cost. Get your frames from somewhere else. It's that simple. Thanks to all who help spread the word.
If that is the case, he'd better pack a good legal defense for mail fraud countersuits.
Brad is emailing me with the same old story. I wonder if he thinks he's dealing with some 12 yearold. I work in the temporary structures industy, designing hoists and scaffolds, custom climbers and hung working decks all day, for the biggest such company in NY. In fact we have undertaken a huge project in Toronto, where we designed an entire 3 story platform that climbs up and down Canada's highest tower, for the purpose of recladding the building. That said, I think I know what is needed for a custom fabrication job! So Brad, you are better off just hiding somewhere and shutting the **** up because I know I gave you all the info you needed to start this project, and I had done the research, and I had found the material to be readily available prior to contacting you. So you better take those sport coilovers off your R32 ( that you purchased the week I sent you the money) and sell them, and pack up my **** and do right by me and all others for that matter, or you're going down. I don't care if you sue whoever bro, you'll just be wasting the money you could use for the refunds on legal fees, and end up ****ing broke.
I figured I'd post up here the last email exchanges between myself and Brad, after we had reached an agreement about 3 months ago. I gave him another chance to reedem himself, he ****ed up, so here we are again.
Then, today he wrote this:
His reply:
Then,"Alex
Ok sorry i just have been in the middle of our largest production run of bikes right now , there slated for delivery to dealers on the 15th so I have been kinda focused on this .
thank you for the reminder i'
ll get up tot he post office today , sorry I totally lag on shipping things when I building bikes
-Brad"
After waiting mora than 3 months after our agreement, I had reposted in this thread. This was Brad's relpy:
Then, today he wrote this:
And this was my reply:
Now, after giving him all the time in the world to send me at least my parts back, he goes ahead and hides untill the forum thread becomes active again. Had he sent my stuff, I'd be quiet but I won't be anymore.
From someone who sued an auto shop out of business for much of the same BS:
Sue his ass in small claims. Bring in the email exchange, any receipts, and written promises from Hodges. You WILL win. You may not get immediate payment, but if you learn a bit about legal procedure you can then put a lien on his precious R32 to recoup the judgement.
I know you live out of state, but use it as an excuse for a west coast vacation - though depending on your local regs, you might be able to sue him in the state you live.
Yes, I can sue him here in NY, already spoke to an attorney. Problem is payment after judgement in my favor. It may not be worth the effortbut I'd love to face this guy in person.
Judgement is a judgement, but you're right about payment - squeezing it out of him would be a toughie. He does have a car and a business. If you have a decent attorney, chances are you could seize some assets, especially if there's no one in front of you "in line" for his balls, so to speak. If anything, it'll be a huge negative mark on his credit and few financial institutions will loan money to a one-man operation with an unpaid SC judgement against them.
I'm still owed $5000 by the owner of the shop I sued. Then again, he and his meth habit kind of vanished.
Sue him, if you dont, your sorta letting him get away with it. If nobody speaks up, he gets away with it, and to make it better, once you do, im sure everybody else will jump on board.
I support mongoose2231 in his pursuit to sue the balls off of Brad. Even if you don't win the case, it will have costed brad a ton of money to bring a lawyer and himself to NY and pay the lawyer the whole time. Win!
This thread is 100% certifiable internet gold!
keep diggin fella...at this point, youll reach those Chilean miners before the people rescuing them does.
The legal route would be the most gratifying but like mentioned before could cost. Continuing educating your fellow riders would be the easiest and worthwhile method. I'm curious, could you contact the BBB and log your complaint officially, being the best public notice?
Only if he's a member of the BBB, they have no power over non-members. It's pretty much a scam, actually. Maybe Brad already works for them?
the BBB is a joke anyway. nothing ever happens wihen someone "reports" them
