He is still there. He posts as ginseng now, or whatever that username Is.

No solid proof. But I had suspected it for a bit, since there is no trail or proof that he's the person he states he is (no facebook, no trace on the internet, ANYWHERE). His posts "sound" like warren, and jumps in to smooth things over for SSM, but is such a new figure at the business? Don't play that BS with me.
Then that guy that got screwed by warren on 3si for the engine, but it wasn't an SSM deal, called him out as Warren. And the way he replied to some posts.... I'd be willing to put money on it.
My thread is for sure on 3si, I believe I linked it over here as well... as I think it all came about just before this site was started?? I can't remember exactly.
Here we go.

I also posted this on the Socal forums. I got bashed pretty good for it.
Ah yes. I read that recently.

Who the fuck is Warren?
Not worth going into much detail, but he scammed a LOT of people, and shops, us included. shoot me an IM or something on facebook, and I'll give you the rundown.
I strongly suspect Ginseng is Warren too. Tried to pry the information out who he was on 3SI, but he denies being Warren. The one time I talked to him on the phone, he wants to be evasive about his name. I just like to know and document exactly who I speak too during this process with SSM, but try to ask the guy his name just for reference and nothing. I did speak with an Eric there, once, but other than that, they never answer phone calls for months on end; well at least after they get their money.
As far as the Mods, I would believe it is more of a administrator or business owner issue to vet sponsors and personnel conducting business on a site. I should have done more due diligence on my part, but in personal emails Jesse outright misled me on his business dealings and being able to custom build whatever it was that scrap he sent me was. I would think with all the complaints starting to surface about SSM they would be temporarily suspended or put on notice to address the customer issues, but as far as Autoforums (3SI) go's, you could be selling widgets and pay their fee, and it probably wouldn't matter.
I won't get into the sponsor/suspension, because it's a load of crap over there. They play favorites.
If you search Ginseng's first post in the new-members welcome thread, he gives his name, I forget what it is. but that person doesn't ACTUALLY exist as far as I can tell. He's registered here on 3sgto with the same username, using the same fake name as well.
