Buyers Beware don\'t buy from...... - tanTALK

John B · 05-21-2005, 11:06 AM

I won't go into full detail about this other then to say PLEASE!!!! beware when buying a used tanning bed from people on these boards.

About 4 weeks ago we got a email from JP Stork he noticed our post on this site "looking for used beds" he contacted us exchanged telephone calls saw a few pics and next thing you know we are wiring a large sum of money to his account.

Bed arrives 3 days later destoryed.The top was warped,acrylic and lamps smashed and bed not in running order.

He spent the next week avoiding our calls and letters asking for a refund.
turns out he knew the bed was bad.the warehouse where JP Stork got it from informed him the bed should not be sold and that they wanted to throw it in the trash.

short story is we are still fighting for our money back and have a meeting monday morning with our lawyer.

PLEASE don't purchase from JP Stork email address invisibletan@yahoo.com

I will also give him a chance to come on and defend himself. But trust me 16 pics and 5 witnesses he is hiding.

Do a search on here for JP Stork and you will find you are not the only one having problems with this guy!

Even the email address makes you wonder: invisible??????

He has caused this problem for others and has been temporarily barred from the site in the past. Whether it is with him or others, buyer beware is a must!!

Yikes!! Nice site, but Yikes!! I thought he had to feed his kids?? Oh wait, he has no kids.

Best advice, before you get all tingly over an outrageous deal, get references, check with The Better Business Bureau, don't send or wire cash.

Dot your "I's" and cross your "T's" before you give up the funds............

John B · 05-22-2005, 08:33 AM

definitly my fault for not searching.Well as of now we are out some cash.He contacted me through email when I posted on this site in need of used beds.How many people does it take for a class action suit?
