    I was just reading on another form that Wax It has gone out of business. Such a shame as a detail magazine is much needed. I just wonder what is going to happen with the money that everyone pre paid for (x) amount of issues:shead:

    I don't think it was a scam, just more than Simon could handle. There were too many set backs and problems. I have the first two issues and it had some potential.

    Do you have a link to where you read this? I hope Simon makes good and refunds everyone!

    Here are my two cents. If this was not a scam to begin with, not informing people who paid for a subscription about this matter and not refunding their money is definitely dishonest and a legal issue.

    Call it what you want, but people paying for something they will never receive and perhaps never getting their money back... is a scam!

    Perhaps DB members in the UK (is that where he is at?) could report this to the proper authorities.

    Don't care about the money I lost on the deal, just happy that I now know that I won't be getting anything in the mail:(

    anyone have a PDF of the 2 magazines that did get released? I'd like to read it even though it's kaput.

    I'm sure someone could scan them. I have both issues that came out, but no scanner.

    The fact he dosent/hasnt chimed in on this thread or the previous ones on here in a long time make me believe its turned into a scam. If bad juju came about and he couldnt deliver, then why not come in and say so? Instead he comes in with a story of a personal nature and says everything will be taken care of. That in itself got more people to buy into it.

    If it looks like shit and it smells like shit..........

    O no, i am another victim, paid for the first 2 issue and got nothing. Is there anything that could be done?

    Yeah i dont know what could be done. I know loosing around $20 is not a big deal, but that's a lot of money to be stolen off of multiple people. Even though this may not be an intentional scam, it is still a legal issue. Unfortunately, I know nothing about the law and especially legality issues when foreign aspects are involved.

    Here ya go. Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) | Home It took me a bit to find this link again :sorry:

    File a complaint with these guys. Link forum threads, emails, anything you have or can find in regards to this incident. They will review it and contact the local police to make sure hes dealt with by the law. I hade a guy rip me off for $85. I followed the instructions and within a couple weeks he was contacting me on how I wanted to be refunded.


    Good luck guys.
