Warning to New Vette Owners - Venician Vette Parts or vettepartsonline.com


I didn't catch prior threads or the ripoffreport.com website until too late. Please stay away from this guy. Almost 3 months now and still don't have differential I ordered. Older members of the forum know him as Carl Shuhi and Florida Corvette Calipers. Newer members know him as Carl Shuhi and vettepartsonline, but now he goes by George and Venician Vette parts. Have Boynton Beach Police Department, Palm Beach Division of Consumer Affairs, Florida Attorney General and US Postal Service for breaking federal law for mail fraud, all involved trying to get a refund.

Don't trust him. Don't believe anything he says. Talks so credible but is a complete liar. I have submitted 40 pages of documentation including recorded phone calls to the authorities to try and bring this guy down. He continually changes personal names and business names.

I am out serious money which I may never see again. Please stay away for your sanity and pocketbook. Would be glad to share more details if anyone is interested. If anyone has been taken by him in the past, would love to team up with you to bring him down. I have committed to fly to Florida at my own expense to press criminal charges. Waiting for court date from Boynton City police department.

Again, run for your lives. There are so many credible businesses out there and it is truly a shame that as much as this guy appears to know about corvettes on the surface that he wouldn't run a credible business and make a fortune off of us, instead of taking advantage of a few.

Nice of you to update this, the guy is a local embarrassment. Link to one earlier thread below, there have been many others.

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c4-t...nline-com.html

I noticed he even has a large ad in the January issue of Corvette Magazine. Incredible this scammer can continue to do this year after year, sorry to hear you got burned.

This joker has so many addresses it isn't funny, none are a legitimate business location. Look him up on the southflorida BBB and it will give you a "hint" of what kind of sleaze he is.

Sorry you got taken by this guy but this is a thread from 2009. This forum is great for listing bad vendors and the search function would reveal a shoddy merchant before you try to buy something.

Boynton Beach is close to me. This guy wouldnt wanna take advantage of me. But then again, with so many great supporting vendors and other reputable sources for parts I dont need this guy.
