   Worthy of investigating, sometimes if it seems too good to be true, it might be. Ya never know.

Oh boy, based on past performance I wonder what has changed, if anything? A real gamble at best.

 Run away and don't look back. You have to promise to say nice things about them online to get your order shipped. I even paid $150 extra for shipping and still had to beg them to  send my exhaust.

Maybe they need money from new customers exhaust systems orders with pre payments to be able to make and ship old orders?

That would be a classic Ponzi scheme.

 I don't think they would still be hanging on to the business if it weren't for the fact they are protected by distance and the difficulty of a lawsuit. The two times I did a bank transfer were both a problem, one was a member here who I thought was trustworthy (was not) and the other was Busso. At least with paypal and a credit card you have some layer of protection, I'm told Venmo isn't very safe either.

Venmo and CashApp are safe to use but you have no recourse after sending the money.
