SCAMMER FRAUD ALERT!! John Stratidis and IMS Automotive Design
This is a public service announcement for everyone who might be unfortunate enough to come across this individual. STAY AWAY!!!!
If you are a vendor or distributor, do not engage in any form of business with this individual. John is looking for anyone he can pull a job over on. His tactics are incredibly well known around the NY Automotive scene as I have found out from numerous other customers of mine around that area.
This individual has been trying to scam me out of a set of wheels since I received his faces after informing him I only had the front inner barrels needed for the specs he wanted in stock.
John refused to pay a deposit for his build when prompted(That's fine! If I am not paid in full, nothing will be shipped.)
John refused to pay for the work done to his faces when "He couldn't wait any longer to have the wheels on his car" (as if these custom lips and barrels just magically appear out of thin air...) and wanted to wait for them to be completed.
Every estimated timeline I would give John, I would have cut in half by him to the point I just started ignoring his new made up timelines.
After being called and cussed out on more than one occasion and told "I will decide if I want to pay you once I have my wheels back and make sure they are satisfactory!!". John was put on Do Not Disturb.
Johns wheels were finished a few weeks ago and I haven't personally felt like giving this human the time of day(for obvious reasons.)
The outpouring I have received from others who have been through this song and dance with this individual has been quite enlightening. And I sincerely hope no one else in this wonderful industry has to deal with this human beyond this point.
These will be the terms and conditions for which Johns wheels will returned to him:
- I will be paid in full, via direct wire transfer as I will not be dealing with anymore scamming by John.
- I, along with those who have also been harassed by this individual will receive full written apologies from John for his actions.
- Every post and negative comment made about me will be removed from the internet by John and his "friends".

I LOVE that this is coming from a guy who has only been around since 2020 with fewer than 150 posts
