Angry I Got Took

Car sponsorships has an add in Super Street for sponsoring cars. I filled out an app
they sent a an email back saying that they had companies that wanted to work with me. So I sent them 89.00$ (stupid) they said it was for them negotiation the contract for me. Ok what ever so decalkits and blepunkt says there interested and send contracts to my house. Decalkits is 100% so there stuff is free, cool, and blupunkts was 50%, did not do blupunkts. so i send my voucher to decalkits a month ago still have not received anything from them no phone call or email even saying they got the voucher and I sent them two emails no response. Three days later Max it out magazine send me a letter stating they want me for there magazine? they want 4.95 for shipping ok(thats twice) they still have not sent me anything no emailno call nothing. So I was stupid and thought they were on the up and up. I got screwed for
95.00 bucks and know i was stupid to even do it. Just telling you guys so they dont get anymore of our money. A real sponsor is always there and if you do a car shown they fit the bill my real sponsor PRO SPEC AUTOMOTIVE in Qunicy MA. the best shop there is. Much props to Andy the owner and the other guys we took 5 trophies and evolution 4 and should have had more, thanx guys.

You sure did.
Everyone knows those magazine sponsorship adds are a joke. Real sponsors go with race teams or high profile show car type people to get brand recognition and ultimatly sales.

We have all these little ricers around here that like to say their sponsored. You know what they get? Free stickers. lol.

sucks to hear that, but you should have know better. come on now... a sponsorship where you have to pay a fee to get sponsored. what kind of bullsh!t is that? usually if you want to get sponsored by a "reputable" company you the owner submits a portfolio. its just like a resume... a list of all you mods and your objective. anybody can send $89.00 and get sponsored w/ their riced out hyundia accent. plus the company who is sponsoring you could be some bailbond company or some stupid **** like that. you get my drift?

No way man, don't forget about it, give them what they deserve. Drop everything in your life and make it your ambition to get even with these guys. Go off the deep end bro, and do some real f'd up ****e to these guys. Maybe they won't be so proud of themselves when you go postal on thier asses.

when i get one of these bogus spam emails, i used to always wonder how they make any money. surely no one will believe that the Exiled King of Zambia has left $25 million in a Bank and all you have to do to get 25% of it is to deposit some money in said bank.

folks, there are many many gullible people in the world and there is money to be made.
