What happened to MTBZ.com


I ordered some new tubes for my landboard over a week ago and never heard anything back from MTBZ. Last time I dealt with them I had no problems. I sent several emails and have had no replies. I tried to call and the number is dissconnected.

Does anyone know anything?

yeah, we had a long thread about them. :( I hope you can get your money back! I guess the guy kinda became shady and isn't shipping stuff/responding, just taking money.

Thanks for the info f0rgiv3n. That sucks.

I guess I'll check the forum first for shady retailers next time I buy online.

Yeah, sorry bro :( I know someone else on here has been in the same spot as you. I hope they see this and can give you a few pointers on how to deal with this dude/situation.

Man, that's crazy!:o
How can someone get away with having a phoney website like that. I wonder how many other people have done the same thing I did?

If the person that f0rgiv3n is talking about could chime in if they had any luck collecting the money from these scumbags I'd appreciate it.

...now does anyone have a reliable source in the US for getting 8" tubes for stock mbs rims I'd love to know.:wee:
