To follow on from Michael's post from yesterday I am one of the four people mentioned as not having received a camera kit from Jay & like Michael I have also been lied to by Jay on numerous occasions.
I'm a member of the other GT86 forum, some of you may recognize my name, my only intention in joining here is to try to get the camera kit I am owed. Since Jay is on Post Review on the other forum & his PM responses are 'creative' the only current logical option is to try to get some sense on here.
I apologise to the forum owners here for joining the forum with this sole intention but needs must.
I ordered my kit from Jay in August 2014 paying initially £75 & then an extra £10 a few weeks later for the modified colour camera. Around January time I had received nothing but Jay was getting a lot of stick in the other forum on his own thread so I laid low. Since January to the end of May I have been in PM contact with Jay where I've given him my address twice, apparently had a kit returned from the carrier once, had to have tracking carried out by Jay twice, been 'in the next batch' roughly four times & marvelled at the miracle of modern time travel as Jay told me he was currently in the USA when his twitter update had him in Norwich on the same day. The latest update from Jay 6 weeks ago was 'I'm in the next batch'.
In April Jay was put on post review on the other forum by the moderators due to the number of complaints they had received. These complaints were from people like me who had tried to resolve with Jay in PM and not gone straight to the Mods as Jay claims in post #89 above in this thread. I was pretty miffed Jay was put on post review as the chances of getting my kit diminished.
I have been in contact via PM on the other forum with other members who are also owed camera's or refunds. Jay's PM's to us over the past few Months are rather comical & a classic example of lies snowballing over time. As a brief example if you add up all the instances Jay has been to 8 (eight) funerals already this year. That's rather unfortunate. His Grandfather has passed away three times alone. My sincere condolences to you Jay if any of your family members have sadly passed away this year.
According to the PM's Jay spent most of February & March in either the USA or Dubai. According to his Twitter account he was posting from Norwich. Mysterious. Jay was also sitting at work on two occasions in Norwich while flying back from the USA. Also mysterious. The weekend you were doing your fantastic Supercharger upgrade (Friday 1st May-Tue 5th May) you told me via PM your Grandfather had died that weekend & your father was in hospital so you were sorting all arrangements out........ I'll happily post the screen grab of that PM if required. Love your upgrade by the way. It's genuinely a terrific read.
I've been in touch with prominent members on the other forum who expressed their surprise when I detailed my experience. They've all found Jay to be a decent chap when they've met him..... & this is where the problem arises. If you look at the history of Jay's posts on the other forum & on here he is an extremely helpful, knowledgeable & valuable forum member. He has great passion, is keen to share his insight & is thoroughly helpful & friendly.
This makes his actions over the camera situation with a small handful of us all the more bizarre...... For what's it's worth Jay's plea on both forums over him losing money over time with this venture & struggling for parts suppliers & getting sent the wrong stuff I fully believe. It's the lies over the past few Months I really struggle to understand. Especially when people are so easily traceable on the internet these days & we have another GT86 forum where you're happily posting!!.
Jay you've had my address twice, if you need it a third time PM here or on the other forum. All I want is my kit. I'm sorry it's come to this post here but I have no other sensible choice. You know what I do for a living I believe so you know I'm a genuine guy. I also urge you to respond to the others who are owed kits or refunds somehow in the correct manner to resolve their issues.
To respond to rob275's very recent post Jay can read & respond to PM's on the other forum. He's on Post Review which means he can't post in the main forum.
Once again to the mods here my apologies for this post but a few of us are really out of reasonable options over this matter.
Thank you.
