Man oh man what a Monday morning read. Fellas, it's been a hot minute, but I had to chime in here. Josh has been using my photos to advertise his 'imaginary' CTS-V brackets on Instagram last week.
I commented on his post asking him to remove the post since he was using my photos to advertise/make money (turns out, scam people) on the CTSV brackets his buddy was making. He deleted my comment, then sent me a DM saying he was going to take them down (screenshot attached). Claimed he didn't know who's photos they were because he found them on an 'open forum' and he used them as reference. DM's below (I'm honestly annoyed now that I was so nice about it because I didn't hear about this thread until this past weekend.
After reading this thread, then putting 2 and 2 together. I remembered he actually messaged me on here back in January of this year asking about my brackets. He claimed his buddy with the white cobra on bronze wheels (which was posted in this thread at some point) was going to take the brackets off and recreate them in CAD.
Josh even had the audacity to ask me for a close up picture of the brackets (which I assumed he'd just end up using to scam people like he did with the SWLights stuff. I didn't respond to that message. My buddy Mike who originally created those brackets worked incredibly hard on those to make it happen. CAD work isn't cheap. Not to mention if he was actually going to follow through and copy it, I'd imagine it'd be very dangerous if the person designing/engineering them didn't know what they were doing.
This past Saturday I get a message on IG from a guy from California who I would chat with here and there. I don't want to post the screens on here out of respect for him (I can ask him for permission and chime back in if needed). But in cliffs, he was asking if I knew anything about Josh because he sent him $1k for these CTSV brackets. Josh is now claiming he bought the CAD files off of my buddy Mike (which he didn't, I confirmed as we still talk every day) and he is just basically copying and pasting the information I had in my CTSV brake thread to tell people what they need.
Anyways, this is just more fuel to the absolute dumpster fire of a human Josh is. I miss you all
MOOCH
Figured I’d add these to the group. I’m more than happy to try and find more messages with him. Mostly was just him trash talking Derek Baran about being a devil worshipper because he has a red bracelet. Don’t know wtf is going on in his head, but I think the mice getting into this cobras are smarter.
You can really see how this VIN swapping isn’t “a joke”.
I already smoked weed so i had an addictive personality.
