WARNING TO NEWBIES - tanTALK

hollidawn · 09-22-2006, 07:35 AM

Im A Newbie in the business too. I bought a Montego bay V-56 from DUSTIN at VO REMARKETING back in April. Dustin prospects on Tan Talk "bigtime" to sell tanning equipment!! BE CAREFULL!! I did Not have pleasant buying experience whatsoever w/ Dusty and/or VO REMARKETING. Infact, the whole process has been an utter nightmare. im out a lot of money and i have a NON WORKING montego bay V56. THEY COULD CARE LESS!!! now im filing lawsuit. just a mess. makes me soooooo sick!!

Tanning beds are the lifeblood of your biz.... Buy from someone that you know or trust, or better yet, buy new equipment that company will back up!!

Here was her post from August ("What would you do" from Tanning Newbies).

Sounds like you have been trying to get resolution for months with no luck.

This is not the first time someone has reported an experience like this involving Dustin and VO Marketing, although since he is in the "clique" here, people who have NOT bought from him tend to jump to his defense.

I'd like to hear more. There was a situation like this on Tantalk before with another person who "worked the boards" (she was a moderator even) and they were eventually banned. One other individual gets named quite often too, although he is also still active on here.

This is a VERY important issue since I think many newbies ASSUME that if someone is on here with lots of posts and seems to be "liked" that that gives them some credibility that they may or may not deserve.....

Could you explain this more in detail?

Neon Beach · 09-22-2006, 09:09 AM

Yeah, what's the scoop?

caribbean tan man · 09-22-2006, 09:14 AM

if i recall the last complaint about dustin was very similiar...spray booth parts missing or something like that and it was supposedly the shipping companies fault in that case also....hmmm. seems the buyer gets left in the middle of to comapnies that wont take responsability
