I thought that replica customers would be interested in this Fraud Alert about Super Replica
 
FRAUD ALERT : WE ARE OBLIGATED TO INFORM ALL PEOPLE IN THE "KIT CAR INDUSTRY" THAT A COMPANY CALLED "SUPER REPLICA" LOCATED IN THE COUNTRY OF PANAMA HAS BEEN CONFIRMED TO BE A DISHONEST, UNSCRUPULOUS, FRAUDULENT ENTERPRISE. THE COMPANY HAS MANY VIDEOS ON "YOUTUBE" AND THEY HAVE MANY WEBSITES ON THE INTERNET. THEY WILL PROMISE YOU THE WORLD AND DELIVER NOTHING. THEIR COMPANY SLOGAN IS "SUPER REPLICA, A NAME YOU CAN TRUST." 

THE TRUTH IS, IT IS A NAME TO DISTRUST. THEY ASK PEOPLE FOR CASH DEPOSITS ON "TURN-KEY" REPLICA VEHICLES AND THEY DO NOT EVEN PRODUCE FIBERGLASS BODY KITS, MUCH LESS ACTUAL VEHICLES. IF YOU SEND THEM MONEY, YOU WILL RECEIVE NOTHING IN RETURN. THEY USE REAL PHOTOS FROM REAL, NEW CAR WEBSITES AND "PHOTO-SHOP" THE PHOTOS TO MAKE THE CARS APPEAR TO BE IN "THEIR" POSSESSION.  WE HAVE HEARD OF MANY PEOPLE THAT ACTUALLY "BANK WIRED" THE COMPANY "SUPER REPLICA" MONEY, AND AFTER THE MONEY WAS SENT, THEN "SUPER REPLICA" WOULD NOT TAKE THEIR PHONE CALLS. 

BECAUSE SO MANY PEOPLE ASK US ABOUT THE COMPANY "SUPER REPLICA," WE FLEW TO THE "CITY OF DAVID" IN THE "COUNTRY OF PANAMA" RECENTLY TO SEE THE COMPANY "SUPER REPLICA" FOR THE BENEFIT OF OUR CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE CALLED AND ASKED WHAT WE KNEW ABOUT THE OMPANY.  "SUPER REPLICA" IS LICENSED AS AN "AUTO MECHANIC REPAIR SHOP". THEY OPERATE OUT OF AN OLD, ABANDONED GAS STATION. THEY ONLY REPAIR STANDARD, USED MOTOR VEHICLES LIKE NISSAN SENTRAS AND THE LIKE. THEY DO OWN A COMPUTER AND THEY ARE RUNNING AN INTERNET SCAM.

ALSO THE U.S. STATE DEPARTMENT HAS ISSUED A TRAVEL ADVISORY FOR AMERICANS TRAVELING TO PANAMA BECAUSE SO MANY FOREIGNERS
HAVE BEEN HELD HOSTAGE FOR RANSOM MONEY IN THAT COUNTRY. WE WERE NOT AWARE OF THE U.S. STATE DEPARTMENT'S ADVISORY UNTIL WE RETURNED FROM PANAMA. BUYERS BEWARE!

so forumers kindly be eyes open on whatever offer from super replicas... i do believe there is still someone would really interested and trust the super replicas could fulfill their dream... but unfortunately... wake up.. and dreams over!!!

SCAMMED $60,000! BY ROBERT PROULX OF EXOTIC GLASS *SCAMMED*
From seafoodlover
Robert Prolux of exotic glass had played me for 3 years now!!! I’ve been promised a car over and over again and he has yet to even start my build yet. He has been sending me pictures of my car and then after 3 years of waiting at Carlisle 2006 I found out from his ex-friend which he had also ripped off that those pictures were all a fake! Had been sending me old pictures of his previous build from John Scott’s car. Then right after that I rushed over to Rick and Tara at the D&R booth at Carlisle and asked them if Robert had ordered a kit from them for my build? They had told me no! Robert had NEVER EVEN ORDERED my kit to begin with. So EVERYTHING was all LIES! Then of course it’s the Katrina excuses....funny how he had never even ordered my kit from D&R and sending me fake pictures all which happened way before Katrina. Remember I had paid this guy 3 years ago; come to think about it I had even offered to help this guy out after Katrina by offering to send him clothes and stuff!  He would always reply to my emails but then after waiting 3 years with excuse after excuse I had emailed him saying that I will go up to your shop exotic glass to see the status of my build and sure enough I’ve never heard back from him again.

To make matters worse over at Carlisle now I found out that I wasn’t the only one...he had also ripped another buyer off a SV project for over $100.000.00! Another roadster for $40,000.00 and a 6.0 project for $12,000.00! This guy has over $200,000.00 of honest peoples hard working earned money with no results to show for it. 

his website is http://www.exoticglass1.com/
ROBERT PROLUX AKA SHADDOE.
814 MEADOW LANE BLDG. C-2
NEW IBERIA, LA.70560

From Megadeth:
I just found this thread through a Google search, because I'm being scammed by this same Robert Proulx guy. I bought an electric guitar from him through another forum, which he uses the same shaddoe user name, and says he's an exotic car builder. I sent him the money, and as soon as he got it, he stopped responding to my emails, and he won't answer his cell phone. I found out where he works and called them, he just quit his job on Friday so they couldn't give me his home phone number. Here is a link to his profile on that guitar forum...

Sorry to hear you lost your cash.  It happens more than people are willing to mention. I removed the following from the list based upon your experience:

Beware!
LV-1
You need to be very careful.  He did not cheat me but the only reason I think he didn't was because I was too smart to send him money.  He had an add on Lamborghinireplica.com for LP640 parts and a complete 6.0.  When I inquired about the 640 parts he immediately sent me prices and a photo of his top quality part.  The part in the picture was excellent, the only problem is the part was John Watson's.  I already had that same photo John sent me and had seen the part in person at John's shop.  I forwarded the e-mail to John and he confirmed that it was his photo and that the guy requested some photos because he was interested in buying some parts.  By the way, he went by two different names but the same e-mail.  I sent him an e-mail explaining what I knew and he replied with same stuff most scammers do, it was my loss for not doing business with him, blah, blah.
