And I agree their jobs aren't easy and I wouldn't want them making lots of rash decisions, however, when 10+ people make an issue you should listen. Maybe even make a statement to the community about what is being looked into without giving all details.

Vicious LED Feedback!

I bought sidemarkers with LEDs from him and a few days later I get condensation on the driver side and I emailed him and I shipped them back. It's been over a week now and I still haven't received my refund and he stopped replying to my emails. I would never do business with this guy again. I wish I found this thread sooner.

I swear his LEDs are from eBay. I bought the side markers got the free LEDs but both of them died within 2 weeks of receiving them and he said there's no warranty on them. Lol.

Wow, I ordered these from him but cancelled and got my money back through PayPal because of his lack of responses. I ordered from genome and my sidemarkers look much better and sit flush. No condensation issues but let's see after it rains.

Wow, it does look like this dude just up and left...

Those who paid by credit card, just file a dispute with your credit card company...the money will come back

Paypal has their own dispute process as well..

If anyone knows his full name and address, file a police report on him using his local pd (since this will be within their jurisdiction)

If you are outside of CA and have been defrauded by this douche, there are several agencies who might be interested in this guy scamming in regards to his "sales" involving other states...

The CA state attorney general, any other involved state's attorney general, and the Federal Trade Commission would love to hear about this guy as well.

I can keep going, but all of the above should send him a nice message...lol

I think he doesnt give a fuck about hes past company such as Vicious LED or Concept 3 LED customers.

https://www.facebook.com/darksunvapor

this is he's new store page.. I cant get his personal Facebook wall since he blocked me.

WE'LL SEE WHATS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT.
Read the entries:

"Mmm, our new Team Dark sun #BMW #228i coupe is so sexy! 240HP, RWD, 50/50 weight distribution, beautiful luxury interior, and just an all around work of art makes this the best vehicle I've ever owned hands down. Also purchased the #Msport package which was worth every penny. I haven't had this much fun driving a car ever; not even my old #Scion #frs could come close to comparing to the ride quality of this bad boy. I think this is what they call true love? ❤️ #DarkSunVapor #LasVegas #TeamDarkSun #TeamDS #DSVapor #DSV #vapeshop #vape #vapor #vapes #vaper #itaste #mvp #tesla #ejuice #ecig #vapedontsmoke #quitsmoking #vapestar #vapelife #vapefriends #vapecommunity #mods #instafollow"

Looks like the loser dumped his FRS and picked up his new BMW and thinks he's the shit now...typical

All his hashtags show he has plenty of time to respond to emails people say are ignored lol. I read an earlier post that his vendor status didn't renew and if that's the case then this thread is no longer needed and will disappear like his business. Just stinks for those who got shafted before the plug was pulled.

Everyone experiencing a problem

Please report this to PayPal. Enough complaints will get his account closed. If it has been outside of the grace period to get your money back through Paypal, or if you used credit card, go through your credit union or bank. Good companies will help you get your money back!

I bought the clear side markers, and both LEDs burned out within a month. The glue on the side markers was already turning yellow by the time it arrived, too.

Well if everyone can notice, Vicious LEDs is now banned. Not sure if it's temporary or permanent, however, this thread should remain for the people on the net searching for LEDs since his website is still running his scam. Kudos to the mods and everyone for sharing their issues, good and bad. I think vicious was evaluated by the community and karma caught up. Make sure you do your homework as you buy parts everyone and even when you do you can never predict a decent vendor going bad like this one.

Anyone know how we can report or attempt to shut down his website? Not everyone out there will see this forum or thread and people shouldn't have to be scammed.
