That would be awesome! Like you said the chance of getting paid is slim but at least he would know I'm not just going to role over and forget. . can you send me your contact info to ranger7000@hotmail.com.

Thanks again.

I also put this on facebook, he deleted his profile, his wife had a profile on facebook, after getting no response from bob, last summer i sent an email to his wife, asking if she knew what or how he was conducting business. as soon as i did that, i got a email from bob saying "not to contact" his wife, this was none of her concern he stated.
So on jan 8th 2012, i saw that bob on instant messenger on facebook, i tried talking to him, as soon as i did, he went off line...so i decided to drop his wife another message......this is it

Im sorry to bother you again Mrs Utne, I sent you a message about a year ago regarding your husband bob who took $350 from me to buy and paint a helmet, this was back in june 2010. I think you remember the email i sent.
anyways bob was less than honest, he said he was close to finishing the painting when in fact i found out he never bought the helmet in the first place. what he did with my money...I have no idea. I have sent MANY messages to bob with the odd reply back saying he would refund my money, well so far i got $80 back and that was 6 months or more ago. I have sent more messages to bob with 0 replies back. I tried messenger here on facebook and as soon as send bob a message...he logs off.

My patience is done with bob, if i have to report bob to the BBB i will, i will make sure EVERYONE knows what kind of business practices bob takes part in. I'm from manitoba orig and i'm heading to Minneapolis in feb, If i don't get payed by then, i will come to your house and have a chat with bob face to face. I tried to deal with bob, asking if he had anything in trade he could give me in place of the money, motocross art work, a different helmet etc..again no reply.
Maybe you could talk with bob, the last time i sent you a message, bob replied back...one of the few times, he said to leave you out of it and i was not to message you again.
He told me that the family was having money issues and for that I'm sorry but it's only $350 and he is making no effort to pay me, i find it hard to believe he can't come up with the money in a year and a half.

anyways i would rather deal with you, i'm done getting ignored and lied to by your husband.

What do you suggest? I'm open to suggestions but either i want to get payed or receive something in trade of equal value.

if i have to report bob i will, if i have to come to your house to collect..i will but i don't think that's a good idea, bob has really pissed me off by stringing me along and stealing my money.

Please drop me a line anytime.

Troy.


Now i'm no longer allowed to contact Mrs Utne.

I just sent a very lady like email... maybe someone needs to blast him on craigslist rants and raves in MN... Craigslist is a great way to share information with a crap ton of people....

Geez...I am out 5$


I bet Racert17 that one mans post/thread could not turn an entire forum against someone they have no first hand knowledge of....guess I was wrong.




































or did I......

I give people the benefit of the doubt and usually there are two sides to the story. It sounds like Mr. Utne, at minimum, has gotten irritated with the OP and perhaps is using that to justify lack of repayment. Or perhaps he feels that the closure of one business (while opening another with nearly an identical name) somehow absolves him of his debt (it doesn't). Perhaps there really is a good reason that he didn't pay back the money and didn't provide the product, and if there is he should post it up here so as to clear his name. Right now it certainly appears that he is exactly what he has been portrayed- a bad businessman with a serious lack of ethics that falls back on posturing and threats when someone insists he repay them. It blows me away that this is over $300. That's a paltry sum for a businessman to destroy his personal image over.

Troy,

I can offer your final payment of of $280.00 available by Feb 5th 2012. I can not pay anything until that date. I have my last and largest payment that is due the 30th of this month. Once I pay will you assure me that things will be removed. I have worked my *** off to try and recover. Let me know if that will work for you?

 

[racert17]

thanks bob

I sent you an email bob but yes I will except that, i have no idea why it took me doing all this to finally get you to pay, brutal dude!

I just want to thank snowest and all the guys that posted and responded, the power of the net and the loyalty of sledders is second to none.

Once i get payed bob all this will be removed and you won't hear another thing from me.

anyways, thanks for responding bob.

Troy
