Members tyrion Posted December 10, 2005 Members Share Posted December 10, 2005 My 2cents is to look at this way. I can see a business giving away $132 in "gifts" for promotions if you buy $899 worth of product. Can you honestly see anyone giving away $899 in "gifts" because a person buys $132 worth of stuff? I for one do not know of any business that runs this way. Rationalize all you want but I believe that the Epiphone site has it right. If you buy the guitar you get the little toy diecast chopper and a gift certificate. Not the other way around. I truly hope no one gets burned. Remember the old saying "If it sounds too good to be true..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Songman68 Posted December 10, 2005 Members Share Posted December 10, 2005 Don't do it people, it is a scam to get your credit card numbers. All of the sites that are ran by Volusion for shopping all take you to a secure site to make a purchase, this does not. Plus if you go to the Volusion site 357 Customs is not listed as one of their clients. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could really give a {censored} who Chad is. All I know is I wouldn't take a chance. Especially for a guitar I wouldn't buy. Don't get me wrong I don't have anything against Epi's. It just seems people here are more in love with the deal posted here than the actual product. That's usually how they get you. If you do and win out then more power to you. All I'll do is shrug my shoulders and move on. In all seriousness though if this does work out than some of you got a smoookin deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mfergel Posted December 10, 2005 Members Share Posted December 10, 2005 Is there the potential to capture credit card info? That's a possibility with any site. However, if it is hijacked, they went out of their way to appeal to complete revamp all products and throw in a deal for a free guitar? Let's say they didn't modify the items for sale, that means that 357 is actually offering that deal? The webmaster for 357 has direct contact with Zakk. They hacked a site run by a webmaster with direct links to Zakk who happens to endorse Gibson/Epiphone? I don't know. It could be a hoax but it's almost so carefully planned out that it seems legit.

Members Mr. Brady Posted December 10, 2005 Members Share Posted December 10, 2005 I have a credit card that I no longer use any more but is active. I purchased this package last night. All this talk of a scam has gotten me nervous so I called my credit card company and they said that there was a pending authorization on this transaction to a music store in the Florida area. Now I believe 357 choppers is based in Florida. In any event I had them close that account and reissue a new card and number. I haven't used this card in over a year so I'm only out $142.00 or so at worse case scenario. I can probably dispute this if I don't receive the mercandise as I've alerted my credit card company to possible fraud. At least I hope I can dispute it. The customer service rep told me I could. Best case scenario I get the guitar. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members crwnedblasphemy Posted December 10, 2005 Members Share Posted December 10, 2005 Gift Certificate and certificate for redemption of the guitar will be shipped immediately. The Diecast Collectable will be shipped in 4-6 weeks. That quote worries me a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members HitTheLights23 Posted December 10, 2005 Members Share Posted December 10, 2005 going back to the company possibly filing for bankrupcy before march...could the reason be that they are giving out $100 gift certificates in the deal to be so they can get rid of remaining merch before the close for good..just a thought. i dunno though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members thefyn Posted December 10, 2005 Members Share Posted December 10, 2005 i have gone for it...{censored} it eh? Reason being...I went to the main website: http://www.357customs.com/ Placed the order ID in the shopping section. And it came up. So it was part of the main site, not whisking you off to an identical but bogus website. I needs me a backup plus my family will like the gifts from there anyway. Fingers crossed.

Also, the Epiphone USA series' quality is on par with the regular Gibsons unfortunatly so is their price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the "certificate of redemption" I'm wondring if the certificate will make you jump through more hoops to get the guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chad Dyer Posted December 10, 2005 Members Share Posted December 10, 2005 People, this is LEGIT. My name is Chad Dyer, webmaster for Zakk Wylde & Black Label Soceity and 357 Choppers. It's real easy. We've got a monster marketing blitz on right now, and we're taking HUGE steps to get 357 Choppers name out there and get a solid buzz on it. We're doing Choppers & promotions with Zakk, Allen Iverson, Toby Keith, Tim McGraw, Keith Urban, etc. Those of you who are worried about a "site hack" and all that don't have any reason to be concerned. I posted this on our MySpace pages, all the BLS fan forums, our 357 Choppers site and the 357 Choppers SHOPPING CART. I run ALL those sites & pages. The BLS fans know me, as I've been working with Zakk and all the BLS guys since 2001. This is no bull{censored}. I accept the fact that there's some non-believers out there, but when this deal gets done and everybody's got their guitars, the proof will be in the pudding. Thank you all for your time. -Chad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quick question - I bought one and chose the "check by mail" option for payment. When I did this it told me to send the check to some bogus address in Los Angeles with a 12345 zip code, which is obviously not correct for LA, wher all zips begin with 9... Can you tell me where to send my check so I can be in on this deal? Thanks, Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
