Default [Scammer] The Driver's Corner...

The Driver's Corner is an online C5 accessories seller that is a scam. Others have posted about their Ebay rip-offs and they are no longer on Ebay. They have an internet site and I made the mistake of ordering something from them. That was 2 months ago. They charged my charge card but no merchandise has been sent. They do not answer emails and the phone is always a recording telling you all lines are busy and to leave a message. Of course no phone call is returned. I don't think they exist. They also reresent themselves as selling stuff for BMW, Porsche and Mercedes...so please pass this on to those forums too. I'm sorry I ever heard of them! I am taking the usual remedies of the Better Business Bureau, credit card fraud, etc.

Thanks for the tip They don't care about the BBB if they are not a member. Fraud, Stealing by Deceipt, Wire Fraud (if you ordered via computer). Your states Attorney General's Office should be made aware as well. Sorry for your trouble bro.

Thanks for the warning. Never heard of them, but sure won't be doing any business with them if I see an ad.

"Wow" I was taken by that azz o too!!! I did a bid on ebay for a c6 cut away and a c5R cut away. When I got them in the mail they where smashed on the corners and I had two c6 cut aways and no c5R. So I called that but 0 up and after 3 days of trying to talk to someone they answerd and said that they where going to send me the new and correct ones and to not worry about sending the other ones back.Well to this day I still have not seen or heard from them !!! I have called ,e-mailed and still nothing!!! What ever you do dont buy anything from them!!!

He ripped me off also. I bought a man's jacket from them and they sent me a tiny woman's jacket. When I called them to complain, they told me that all their stuff is unisex and I should give it to a female if I didn't like it.

I have found out they are no longer registered to do business on Ebay. At least part of the population is safe form them. If any of you belong to other car forums, such as Porsche, BMW or Mercedes, please pass this information on to those forums since they advertise merchandise for those makes too. Thanks everyone.

From the tone of the responses on this thread, he hasn't made many friends on the Forum.

Whenever you are going to buy ANYTHING on the internet from someplace you haven't done business with yet, always check them out on www.resellerratings.com.

Also, when **** like happens, make sure you leave them some negative feedback on there.
