Whos had dealings with VinnyZ
There was a post early today from a board member that felt cheated, shorted or plain robbed by vinny, There was about 4 or 5 other people inclucing me that chimed in with similar stories. The OP deleted his thread in an attempt to get his money back but I dont think vinny should get off that easy.
So please post up good or bad dealing you have had with vinny, I'n this world we reap what we sow...
I had a deal with vinny to send me some tuning soft for 500.00 well after about 3 months and a bunch of excuses all I ever got was a ODBII code reader and a T stat.

Read the original post to which thread refers before heading out to earn an honest day's pay.
Seems misguided to have deleted same with the expectation of being made whole after been defrauded for so many months.
Given a cursory glance at his threads and posts, it's not too surprising that vinnyz also screwed *** -a gentleman with whom I've conducted seamless business- out of his rightful hardware and service remuneration. Some of us encounter dopers, charlatans and scammers with alarming regularly during day-to-day interactions; the few that choose to join MBW are unfortunately scant little different.
Have enjoyed the good fortune to personally make acquaintance with several upstanding members, sell more than a dozen take-off bits (with a three day right of refusal upon receipt), and loan several specialty tools sans regret. Due diligence or merely dumb luck?
Only time I got dicked around here was from a now-banned IB sponsor. Knock wood.

Well, from what I hear Vinny drive an SLR. How many people named Vinny to do you know driving a car like that.
Sorry to hear that Nick. It's unfortunate people take advantage of trustworthy people just trying to make a few dollars. What's the world coming to.
Maybe Skratch removed the post because he was promised to get paid by Vinny....
. If this was the case I'm sure he'll back posting something negative again.

As usual, people get ****ED and it all remains behind the scenes so that others jump on the same band wagon.. 
No matter what the situation is-
Throw em' out there or "rat" em' out, otherwise its only going to continue

Wrong vinny then. The on I am speaking of lives in Fl. and drives a ratty E55. He ripped off a budy of mine down there. He deffinetly does not drive an SLR. Why would some rich ***** in an SLR rip people off for a few hundred dollars?

It is the same guy Marcus. I would guess that he does not own the SLR.

My dealings with Vinny are old news and I'm sure I'll never see a dime back. When I saw that there were alot of other people that had been screwed over by Vinny I thought we better get his name out there so this **** will stop.
Since Ive started this thread Ive been contact by others board members by pm about alot worse things he's done.
Bottom line I'd stay away from this guy.

If you look at :13-14 ... you'll notice the Gallardo SL has Fl plates. Does it not? I believe this may be him. If you look at the bottom of his uploaded videos... he has a few of him driving an E55... He also has a video of him on a dyno with the Gallardo SL and he completely blocks his face out with a red box through video editing...
Now I have no idea who he is, or what he's done... but I'm pretty sure just by you guys saying he had an E55... that he lives in Florida (plates on the Gallardo), and the sketchy red box covering his face, and blah blah... I'm pretty sure it's him.
Was he a fellow member?

If you want to save people some grief someone should post his real name/contact info, so I can spread across the internet and save some people grief who aren't on this forum.
Put the content in the title so even if the thread is deleted it will show up and save people some grief, you can see the thread title in the attached but if you click the link the link content is gone.

05 ML-500 , 03 CLK5.5 AMG has left the Garage
Ripped off by VinnyZ
I usually don't jump on to the band wagons. These guy's usually just self destruct. But Vinny is SMOOTH 
. My Home has rung 3 a couple of times since Skratch77 post , and it is vinny's cell number. I choose not to deal with him any more, I'm not wealthy by anymeans. and it hurts finanancially to loose this kind of money. And I knew there would be somefall out & I expected it. But for the better part, I sold over 30 sets of cams, 100 set of Phenolic spacers & 500 t-stat assys. all work out & paid , we really have some very good board members here ,except 3 or 4 guys , whom feed of the backs of good hard working people. What really pisses me off is the fact They are driving some else SLR ? Not smart whom ever you Are.
