I am posting out of frustration and to warn others about Matt Kriegsfeld aka DaBears2k (KRIEGSFELD.COM, Phoenix AZ Butler).
It is my hope that this will call him out and he'll fess up to his negligence. Or at the minimum post an update, because it is unfair to those waiting to be left guessing. Ultimately, it is my hope this moves him to complete the group buy as promised.
He conducted a group buy that started on July 26th and to this date October 27th has not been completed. There are no more updates on this group buy even though he logs on everyday and several of us have tried to get ahold of him. It seems to follow the classical SCAM pattern of telling people the delays are out of their hands, followed by ignoring attempts at contact.
A total of 3 months have passed and we have been patient, even in the face of his silence. I don't think we are being unreasonable here by asking for some answers.
The group buy is for $15 each, but I find it inexcusable to just leave people hanging. Myself, I put in two orders so its $30 for me. Any attempts at asking for a refund or update have been met with silence. Every week I see someone posting in the GB thread, but nothing from Matt.
Whether it is $15 or $150 each, responsibility must be taken for his negligence and conducting this group buy poorly.
If anyone knows Matt Kriegsfeld, let him know we are not happy. If we have been indeed screwed over, I hope he never forgets that he screwed over 13+ people.
Someone who claims to know it all about our beloved Mazda6, needs to get his act together.
Here are the facts:

August 28 + - All PMs go unanswered, no reponses to emails or phone calls.
October 26th - Still no answers to PM. Silence. DaBears2K dodges all PMs posts and emails.
Alot of unanswered questions.
- No refunds being given.
- What about the order placed on August 28th.... Almost 2 months ago.
- No new updates.
We've all been patient through this, its about time DaBears2k/Matt Kriegsfeld throws us a bone.
If I am out of line, it is only because you have gone into classical silent scammer mode.
Please respond!!!
