Jonesband has a name and....

acampbell - 24-6-2010 at 04:08 AM

He is at it again....

http://www.ebay.com Direct link removed - search for Flexfoil (note misspelling) sold by jonesband1988

according to email messages he has sent, his name is Steve Young and his email address is support@extremekites.eznet.biz

He has been threatening us with this post and future posts about "defective kites" unless Flexifoil helps him to "resolve any concerns" about him here at Powerkiteforum.com

Somehow he thinks there is a connection between Flexifoil and this site.

This guy cannot even pull off a blackmail attempt well, so let's all have a laugh together...

If it steers to the left, then.... steer to the right??????

Spam the address?
Reported to eBay ...

rocfighter - 24-6-2010 at 05:05 AM

Me thinks he may be an idiot.

Kamikuza - 24-6-2010 at 06:17 AM

As someone once described someone else ... "He's the kind of person that, once you'd started punching them in the head, you just couldn't stop" ...

Bladerunner - 24-6-2010 at 06:56 AM

I just woke up but can't see how bashing Flexifoil can help sales of his flexfoil . If that is what it is called this month??????

Poor Jonesband's med's are off again .:dunno:

Hardrock - 24-6-2010 at 07:11 AM

Does he really even sell the bug?

I figure its not a real "for sale".

acampbell - 24-6-2010 at 07:15 AM

No the stainless buggies have not been sold in about a year and he's not going to sell a "defective" buggy for near list, so it's just a bogus ad for the sake of bashing us. He has already warned that the "defective kite" posts are coming next.

Drewculous - 24-6-2010 at 08:36 AM

mmm... just put his email into all the wrong hands.... :evil:

tridude - 24-6-2010 at 08:49 AM

I still have connections......................C-17, one way flight to Baghdad International, Kabul, or Kandahar (kandyjar) wherever, march him to the front gate, and have a nice time getting home................:lol::lol::duh::duh:

Houston AirHead - 24-6-2010 at 09:31 AM

wow this guy is a HOOOOJ loser

bugymangp - 24-6-2010 at 09:35 AM

also reported.
this jerk just doesn`t get it. how close we kite flyers and buggiers are.
we look out for ourselfs and take care of each other.

awindofchange - 24-6-2010 at 12:21 PM

He just finished up the exact same ad on E-bay with the exact same buggy but used us here at A Wind Of Change as the defective seller. Same ad, just changed the name to Angus this time. We have our attorneys working on it right now and because he used the exact same ad with the same wording on it to bash another store just gives fuel to the fire.

Unfortunately it will be another couple of months before the lawsuit is finalized in the federal courts - federal because his slander and defamation is over state lines.

The sad part about this is that the dirtbag probably has nothing worth anything right now, so the best we can do it get a huge cash judgment against him and then hopefully put a lien against any assets he may have (I hope he owns a home or some nice cars). At least with the lawsuit, we will be able to get him to stop the slander crap - but we will never be able to stop him from selling his cheap garbage knock off kites.

One thing that will help - or at least not help him - is to stop posting links up to his e-bay ads. Instead maybe list the item number or just tell people what to search for on Flea Bay. That way his listings do not get the added benefit from multiple inbound links which helps his exposure. Every time someone lists a link to his site, it ads value to it for all the search engines which helps increase his ranked listings.

I still can't believe that Flea Bay has not banned this loser...... Persistence may be the only option for that. Continue reporting the idiot and hopefully it will get to be enough of a bother that his account gets banned.

Has any one ever forwarded any of this to Dave Gomburge of Gomburge kites? He has hooj influence in the whole kiting world. And hates this sort of thing.

acampbell - 24-6-2010 at 01:25 PM

Kent
Thanks for the update and good point about the link; I've edited my post.

rocfighter - 24-6-2010 at 06:06 PM

I contacted David Gomburg. He is forewarding it to John Barressi. And they are looking into seeing what they can do. Lots of power there I hope it helps.

WIllardTheGrey - 24-6-2010 at 11:27 PM

I'm pretty sure John Barressi already knows LINK

rocfighter - 25-6-2010 at 03:01 AM

I know John had troubles with a guy selling fake Revs. But didn't know it was the same guy. David says he thinks it is.

tridude - 25-6-2010 at 07:34 AM

you all are way too nice...................string him up by the ballz

Kent,

For reference as to the frequency of his transgressions, I forwarded you (along with John & Dave) a zip file with 10 PDFs of past sales by JonesBand1998... including the two buggy sales referencing AWOC & CWS. Not sure how soon eBays pulls listings from public viewing, but I thought there out to be a record of this stuff.

Let me know if you fail to receive it or have problems opening/reading the files.

ATB,
Sam

energy in all directions wasted, time in all directions wasted.

if his life is so filled with negative energy we all should allow him to swim in sadness and regret.

swallowed by his own ego and smothered by his shadow the child in him cries an ocean that will consume all of him.

do not feed this cycle it is the only nourishment he receives

there will be positive energy come along and fill this void ...Every time.

(the fewer hits the lower the rank, this pschyohomily just sounds better)

i hope it reads this ...then it will be sleepless even longer...becoming aware of your bindings is the birth of maddening hopelessness.

rocfighter - 25-6-2010 at 09:35 AM

WOW Phree did you come up with that yourself? It was awsome.
You have more you should put them on paper.

Drewculous - 25-6-2010 at 10:36 AM

acampbell - 25-6-2010 at 10:39 AM

Thank you for that. It has been a while since I have burst out loud laughing like that.

highazakite - 26-6-2010 at 10:02 AM

@phree.. well said, wiser words than most can comprehend.

@hardrock.. while its not hillbilly this is what it boils down to.. heheh

Its funny how much energy gets put into this jonestroll guy.. he feeds on it. while i know its good to try and call fake to the posers so new people dont get taken. but on a whole if this guy gets you you have quite a bit of learning to do.

this guy does not deserve our attention, his drama in no way helps this forum or this community learn or expand.
