To specifically address the incident they reported against me on this site after providing the engine serial # to Jonathon Campbell / RJ Performance at www.rj-performace.com and receiving a price and agreeing to it, IESC DIESEL purchased the engine from them. It was supposed to ship on July 6th to our clients shop in Colorado. Almost a month later the engine shows up but it was the incorrect engine. When we spoke to him about it he said that he would send us the correct engine but that it was more money (go figure). Reluctantly we complied and sent him the funds. Jonathon Campbell sent us a tracking # on August 21st for the correct engine but when we called the freight company to track it they said that the tracking # did not exist. We go back and forth (see the chain of emails below) and half way through October with still nothing we decide to cancel the order and notify Jonathon Campbell and RJ Performance that we want our money back. Upon hearing this, he said that we needed to send him the incorrect engine so that he would inspect it and if it was ok" then he would send us our money back. We said "no" and told him to send us the money back and we would send him the engine he said no and we finally agreed for Jonathon Campbell and RJ Performance to send us 1/2 the money via wire and we would send him the engine and then upon his inspection. After a couple of weeks of Jonathon Campbell stalling on this and saying that Ryan needed to make that decision we finally received the money into our account. In addition, we also received a bill of lading of where he was shipping the engine to and guess what? It was not going to him it was going to another one of his customers. By now not only are we upset but dont trust him at all so I call Jonathon Campbell and RJ Performance and ask them If you are going to inspect the engine before we get other of our money, then how come you are sending it to someplace else? And how will you inspect the engine? and by when will we get our other of the money? Jonathon Campbell and RJ Performance simply stated that he was sending pictures to his customer
At this point we decided we had had enough with Jonathon Campbell and RJ Performance and that when we received the money, we would bring the engine to Miami cut our losses and try to sell it and recoup our money Afterall, where we supposed to take someone elses word that the engine was complete? What if they said that it wasnt? Then we would be out of our money and the engine We made the decision and also called his customer Mr. Hank Brueggen, owner of Turbo Diesel of Oklahoma 405-495-5656 (who was expecting the engine we had in Colorado and whose name we got off the bill of lading that Jonathon Campbell had provided to us) and told him to be careful when dealing with Jonathon Campell and RJ Performance unfortunately we were too late. Mrx Brueggen told us that he had already gone through the same hoops we did with Jonathon Campbell and RJ Performace you know getting multiple bogus bills of ladings, incorrect engine send more money for the correct one and he was one year into this!! Unfortunately, we were too late to help him, but at least you are now empowered to not fall victim to the Canadian company RJ Performance and Jonathon Campell. Oh.. and when I asked Mr. Brueggen if he had received pictures guess what he told me? .What pictures? again big surprise.At this point I dont want to talk to Jonathon Campbell RJ Performance and I arrange my own transport to get the engine to Miami. As the engine is in transit, I get a call from our forwarder and they ask me if there is a Paige Jarvie that works here? I said no and they told me that a Paige Jarvie had called them and told them that she worked for IESC DIESEL and that we now needed to re-route the engine to someplace else. Yep, you guessed it! Paige Jarvie works for Jonathon Campbell RJ Performance. They had looked up our freight on freightquote.com, she pretended to be our employee and actually tried to have the engine go to Mr. Brueggen (who has been waiting for over a year).
So that is my side of our story with Jonathon Campbell and RJ Performace and below you will find the chain of emails to prove it. As I wrote this, I personally called Mr. Brueggen from Turbo Diesel of Oklahoma to ask him if I could use his name and he said of course as he described Jonathon Campbell and RJ Performance with colorful metaphors and he went on to say that if you wanted to hear his story you could call him at 405-495-5656.Had we done our research before dealing with Jonathon
Campbell and RJ Performance, we would have found this link and probably we
would not have dealt with him and his company.
As the age old saying goes if
its too good to be true, then it probably is and that is certainly true with
Jonathon Campbell, Paige Jarvie and RJ Performace from Calgary Canada.

I am doing my best here Kiko... Obviously he doesnt have my experience in this
industry. Cause my experience is that most surplus guys really dont care about
their customers at all. And like this vendor that I have dealt with for several
years, he just doesnt give a s**t at all. Its by his schedule or do buy from
him. Its even worse when you want a refund because he wont give you a refund,
he just keeps your money and gives a credit for future purchase.
But I am continuing to call.

Subject: RE: Cummins Motorhome Engine
There is an engine, and I have sold several of these engines from this vendor.
He purchased a large cancelled contract from Cummins that was to be for PACCAR.
The contract was never paid for by PACCAR so Cummins sold the engines to him. I
apologize for the delays from this Vendor, and I have escalated this to my
lawyer who is attempting to contact both this vendor and the attorney general
to get our product that is paid for shipped.

to contact the commercial fraud unit to seek their advice and help. I would
like to have a decision made tomorrow with what direction we are going to take.
I will give you a call tomorrow early afternoon.

We supplied Turbo Diesel with the description and pictures of the engine. They
are going to compare and let us know upon receipt. Your saying it just sat
there so there should be no issue and we release the balance and wire. A
confirmation sheet will be faxed when we get the call from the bank saying the
fund have arrived at the destination bank. Just like this time.
