Crazy Stories #4: Whopper Lies people have told to the CAR WIZARD! 

A college degree, a good person does not make.

@@CarWizard I think you got that backwards

@@oledcrt what does that even mean?

@@stevewhite3424 I believe he was trying to say that having a college degree does not make someone a good person.

I’ve listened to quite a few people with college degrees, and even ones who are supposed to be highly knowledgeable in their fields, who have gotten things very wrong.

Doesn't sound like he's any good at picking winners, either at casino or used vehicles.

I bet he knew the engine was thrashed and figured the bank would lend him more money to "fix it".

Spark plugs are cheaper then playing the casino

This made my day!

Tangy diesel, wizard lies: What I've been noticing in the last 20 years is how the gambling institutions working with the government agencies are building many many Avenues to gamble but here's the real kicker they advertise Gamblers Anonymous which is which is against their (GA) Traditions that they go by in the program. Gambling , It's one of the worst Addictions on the planet. All other anonymous 12-step groups adhere to those principles that's why you don't see advertisements only in the Christmas New Year time.

I prefer to think of it as "always assume people will act in their own best interest."

Ah yes, optimistic pessimism.

Definitely I've been thinking that way since I was about 24 I'm 54 today DTA DON'T TRUST ANYONE

T the

I was thinking the exact same thing, when I saw the video. That was a big mistake on the banks part. Never make the check out to the person financing a vehicle. They should have made the check out to Omega.

We don't know the details... When insurance does the checks they are payable both to the shop and to the owner, but the shop is supposed to deposit the check. It's possible his shop endorsed the check and gave it back to the customer for deposit.

@@Burt1038 I severely doubt wizard endorsed the check and returned it to the guy. It wasn’t an insurance type deal anyway, likely the loan officer was a trusting soul and got burned by his friend.

@@84sp84 lol you think it is MORE likely that the bank (which does this every day as their primary business) screwed up... than that a mechanic, many of which are financially illiterate, made a simple mistake. Ok bud.

That’s happened to many a body shop where the insurance sends a multi thousand dollar check to the car owner vs the body shop . Body shop ends up owning the car . Stupid practice . The body shop does not want to own the car they want to be able to pay the employees.

There is some percentage, I believe it is more than half, of people, who, if you are kind to them and helpful to them, for no reason other than good will, they will think you are stupid. In return for your kindness, they will try to take advantage of you, trying to use your kindness to their advantage. Lying to you is the least harmful form of that.

I told the debt collectors my girlfriend died to get them off her back, and they didn't believe me. Even after I sent them the death certificate. They're still trying to get the money she owed. It's adorable. (They even sent someome to serve her court papers lol. Idiots)

Id do a lot of things before I’d ever become a debt collector, jesus dude

@@silkroad1201 Not surprised at all. Heard stories of people listing a cemetary plot as their deceased's new address when its clear they arent going to listen

Much like aggression!

They don't do that anymore. Know how they fixed the problem? They just stopped selling DSL service! They'll only offer either fiber based service, or ADSL2+, which has such a short range from the nearest ADSL2+ DSLAM (large ugly view-obstructing pole mounted box, usually illegally mounted to boot) that the service either works or it doesn't.

I can attest from personal experience that AT&T range from being Mediocre to Downright Awful when it comes to customer service. The corporate greed, fixation on sales or upselling, and trying to nickel and dime customers with hidden fees and useless services is thru the roof. A few examples; One time in the early 2010's, at a house my family had, we realized we no longer needed a landline phone from AT&T (everyone had mobiles), so we called up customer service to cancel that service (we had a combined internet + landline phone plan for the house). When we got to a service rep, and told her we wanted to cancel the landline (but keep the internet service), the rep went into full-blown salesman mode and was actively trying to convince us we needed the landline service. We told her that we obviously didn't, because everyone in the household used mobile phones, and we already got rid of our landline phones in the house because they were redundant. Even so, she refused to listen and kept trying to "convince" us we needed to use the landline, this argument went on for 5 minutes straight. We had to repeatedly reiterate that it was useless, nobody was using a landline and there are no phones using it in the house. Finally, the rep seemed to relent, and then put us on a 45 min hold, saying that she "needed to talk to her superior," and so we waited. When the hold was up and she came back, she immediately requested we wait again, and put us on a 15 minute hold. After that, a different rep (probably the superior) came on and said that he will grant us our request, after we were stuck on the phone for a solid hour and 20 minutes, plus the unwelcome salesman attitude of refusing to listen to our request from the previous rep. At that time AT&T didn't offer any satisfaction surveys to rate for the service in that area, but that was definitely a 0/10. Fast forward to 2016, and at the same house, our family was in the process of moving out to sell the house, so we no longer needed any internet nor AT&T service at that place anymore. We called up AT&T customer service to cancel the internet and billing. We requested to cancel the service. The service rep tried to redirect us to not outright canceling the internet, but to instead put it on 'Inactive Status.' I had a feeling I knew where this was going, but I let the guy entertain me, so I asked for an explanation of what this Inactive Status is. He said that it's where our internet and service would be completely shut off, but we still get billed a portion of the normal bill so that the status "stays on the books" and so that the internet can be activated "without a hitch" in the event we want full service again. I told him that we were moving out of the house so we wouldn't need any service at all, and I told him I felt like the Inactive Status sounded like a dumb idea which was a waste of money. The rep went into salesman mode and "explained" that the Inactive Status was there so that in the event we wanted to reactivate internet with AT&T at that location we wouldn't be billed the full service activation fee as if a new account for internet was set up. I told him that was totally moot because we were moving out of the house and it would be sold to a completely different party. So the guy finally relented and canceled the service, but he still made it as inconvenient with his salesman attitude as possible, and it was borderline humorous seeing how much they were trying to sell useless services like that. AT&T, Masters of Peddling Worthless Telecomm Services.

I used to work for AT&T. Can confirm. Sounds awfully familiar.

Customer horror story part 2: The cus then reported us to the BAR. The inspector comes to us about trying to sell an unnecessary brake job. We explained what we found. The inspector then replied "Oh! Then you released an unsafe vehicle!" We showed the brake inspection report showing the pads had 3/32's of pad left. Enough for the wear indicator to touch the rotor but not unsafe. Frustrated, the inspector shouted "You either tried to sell an unnecessary brake job or you released an unsafe vehicle! Pick your citation!"

"One ringy-dingy..."

That woman almost single-handedly caused the break up of the phone company through public awareness.

God that was so much Comcast until I dumped their asses 11 years ago. I was on the phone with their tech support people once or twice a month asking why my internet was down/being dodgey/slow/etc. Been with AT&T since then, I've had ONE, yes ONE internet outage since then in 11 years, that was when the crazy guy blew up the telephone exchange in Nashville on Christmas last year.

@@AaronSmith-kr5yf Where I am it's just the opposite. Maybe one short outage in a year with Comcast, usually after midnight Monday morning and AT&T can never even deliver what they promise when they try to hook you up.With Comcast when there is an outage I just go to the website with my phone and get an ETA. I will never touch anything with the AT&T logo on it again.

banks fault for the most part. they should have given the money directly to the wizard lol.

@The Big Fig , that's a great point! Frankly, the credit card company should've had to pay car wizard, and instead go after the woman who committed credit card fraud.

@@phgamer4393 wrong story, this is referring the one where the credit card company paid, then rescinded said payment, you're talking about the gambler

Yeah, I thought the bank bore the cost of credit card fraud, not just taking back whatever money was used to buy goods and services.

Hey guys and gals, it’s not quite as simple as you think. What very likely happened was the innocent actual card owner contested the charge (rightfully) as they did not authorize it. So the bank reversed or undid the transaction, which pulled the funds back from the car wizard. It’s not a situation of the big bad bank taking a shot at the small business owner. They just reversed a transaction and explained to the car wizard what was going on. Now to give you an actual situation where a bank or credit card company ate a fraudulent transaction. Back in 2015 my wife and I drove from Florida to California to visit my niece. I’ll never forget my daughter calling and telling me that one of my credit card companies was trying to reach me. I called and found out they had received a call from someone who knew enough about me (personal information) for the bank to send them a new credit card, which they immediately used to go make two cash advance withdrawals of $500 each along with the customary $3.00 ATM fee totaling $1,006. The only way they were caught was I have never done a cash advance on a credit card and their transactions raised a red flag of potential fraud on the account. The bank did eat that one as the crooks got cash and disappeared. The real shame on my deal, was the police not doing a damn thing. They had an address where the new card was received via the USPS, but couldn’t take the time or energy to investigate. (I guess they had to go beat up some poor motorists for some nonsense). Yes I’m bitter still about the police lack of action or accountability. Hell if they told me that they had driven by and found the place vacant that would have been better than doing nothing

Id throw them out...litterly. if it was then my house.

Buying and renting out buildings or homes can be dangerous. I've heard of landlords being killed by renters. A neighbor of mine where I used to live was killed by 2 young adults that she was renting to.

Yep. Buying property is filled with horror stories and during Covid it was worse because laws protected squatters, if news stories are truthful. Police often tossed up their hands and said it was a civil matter. Renting and buying often relies on the goodness of others. At my first house the seller stole most of the landscape, items listed in the sales pitch, light bulbs and ripping up fences (leaving most laying on the ground). Most likely because of the clause that said he'd have to pay rent if he stayed another 3 months after closing. I told my friend and he said it could be worse. When he moved in the guy had stolen the appliances, including central AC, the gazebo, 2 sheds, and stripped the shop of built-in equipment and wiring.

I hope he wrote it off on his taxes!

Sadly that's the easiest thing to do when the shit hits the fan,rather than being honest simply lie or blame someone or something else.Such a shame just b honest god dammit!🤔😱👁👀👁

Those E6s were just POSH bitches. They got on their knees or bent over their entire careers to get where they're at.

@@boogitybear2283 I hope he gave that guy a 1099.

in any business this is normal, everyone sadly tries to rip you of and you need to have SOP´s for that in place to protect yourself

Omega Auto Clinic is not name on title or loan. Also, it could indirectly assign responsibility for the truck or the loan if the truck owner defaults on the loan. OAC is NOT a cosigner on the loan. OAC is a service provider, and that's the extent of their connection to the vehicle. The bank correctly assigned responsibility for the $7,000 to the truck owner, not OAC. The bank added the $7k to the loan value on the truck, and likely adjusted the loan for the this.

@@houseofno oh, interesting. Makes sense

People who blow their vehicle repair money gambling is one type of people they make mass transit for.

Luckily I have not had to be in that position, but when we bought our 2nd home, we used some of our previous equity to pay a personal line of credit off. Did the bank right the check to us? Heck no. They wrote it and mailed it themselves to Discover. Your logic doesn’t make sense. It’s in the banks interest to get that vehicle fixed or they could be stuck in the situation they ended up in. By paying directly for repairs doesn’t change liability. The person with the truck signed papers that he is responsible for payment and defaulted. If he had had the repairs done and defaulted 3 months later, would they come after Omega because the majority of the $7,000 is still outstanding and is responsible for any ownership. No because Omega didn’t and wouldn’t have to sign any papers. The bank would pay them to have the needed repairs done. Simple.

yeah i agree about the phone story. that's something i can't stand. it was as if she was unhappy with her job so she could use it to omit certain info to spread the unhappiness. nonsense. sometimes i can hate people.

How about the biggest lie, earth is not a planet. Nope it’s flat like a pancake and stationary. We’ve been lied to bout everything.

Yep I had the same engine in my 05 King Ranch. Body was in great condition but engine died from the timing parts as they all do. Sold it on FB marketplace to an awesome guy who collects these King Ranch's and totally fixed it up. Very happy to give it to someone who really wanted it.

The bank should have said uhh no to the extra money but now they got that dude on the hook for that money😆 plus the abandoned truck money

The best truck to buy is those old Toyota Pickups! My Dad bought a 91 Pickup with the V6 engine. The truck has been thru Hell and back and forth. It’s 2021 and it still runs!😂

I almost bought a used f150 with the 5.4 several years ago. Fortunately my buddy talked me out of it.

@@boogitybear2283 we don't buy Toyota trucks because we like some frame with our trucks.

The guy just didn't know how lucky he was. Or maybe he does know and plays that luck game a lot. People think they are so tricky!!!!

This is white privilege. If you have a business you can decide if you want to accept someone as a customer or not. There are single moms working 2 jobs where they don't get to choose how any of their interactions go. That actually came to mind when he was complaining about someone leaving the building he was about to rent a day before his contract started. That guy literally left on time. And the wizard literally said he doesn't care about his business but about his own. Now imagine that guy was trying to feed several children juggling part time jobs and gets thrown out without a friendly notice because he was trying to negotiate about the rent. And then the wizard shows up and just complains without having any business there because his rental contract didn't start yet. I'm not saying that's what happened at all, I'm just saying you can never show enough regard and empathy for others, unless they are factually and obviously trying to screw you over you should get out of peoples way without any comments.

@@user-hr2zy7ct8h apparently the guy renting the building who we should empathize with told the owner that he wanted out anyways. threatened to take his business elsewhere. and it turned out he was lying the whole time. the worker said they had another building they were moving to. people will try to take advantage anyway possible.

@@senorpepper3405 Yeah I'm just saying the Wizard said he doesn't care about that guys business, but then he turns around and complains even though that guy left on time. I can't understand how it makes sense to say hey I don't care about your problems but why haven't you moved yet? If you don't want an answer, why are you even asking? Usually it doesn't speed up the process to urge people to hurry up. Maybe they left exactly on time just to piss the wizard off because he was being so fruity and concerned. I know this is kind of a rude thing to say. My point is if you don't care about someones' problems then don't talk about that person unless it's relevant, if you do care then at least try to show empathy and try to be understanding, don't just accuse someone of intentionally wronging you without knowing a thing about them and without caring to find out a thing about them. Otherwise your behavior is more rude than me judging you for it.

@@user-hr2zy7ct8h sounds like the old Tennent only left on time because the wizard gave them strong encouragement to leave on time he shouldn’t have had to do that,that’s why he was pissed off. It’s simple

@@phillipbyrnes2885 I get that, but how does it make sense to say "I don't care" and then get alll up in someones' business. You can tell them to leave on time without being arrogant. For example you don't have to say "I don't care" you can say "I'm sorry I have my own business to take care of and that's my priority". I don't like dishonesty. He said he doesn't care but then he goes into details and questions the employees to find out things about that business. Doesn't make any sense. Sure it makes sense to show them no empathy so they won't try to take advantage of you, but you don't have to be cocky about it and you don't have to lie or say things that you clearly don't mean.

@@tylerbecker3348 yea renting sucks. Should really look into buying. When I bought my house a couple years ago I couldn’t believe the cost. I had been throwing away $800 a month for a little apartment, and my 1600 sq ft house with 5 acres was only $900 a month. Best decision I ever made to buy a house. Best part is that I have no owners to worry about!

I completely agree. I also have experience with working with people from small towns in western Kansas. It’s very interesting at times to say the least. Everybody out there has dirt on each other.
