Title: Remember BeachBowl.Com ?
Post by: Ramtart on September 28, 2005, 10:06:06 AM: We're taking it back to the old school people...

Hey, is this place still in business? I remember people were complaining about this place several years back (around 2001). The old ballreviews was riddled with posts/complaints about this site in their Online Shop Forum. Also, I heard they also went by other aliases. So whatever happened to these guys?

HEaring about this old online shop, what exactly was the problem with them?

from the 1000+ replies to the original thread, back 2-3 years ago, you name it, they tried to screw somebody with that ploy.

Ooops, hehe charlest. Sorry man, this brought up some bad memories, because I was just talking to a friend and he had 1 order go through, but it took 2 months for him to get it! (He was even surprised it showed up at his door as he literally gave up after email and calling several times.)

There was another shop linked to them as well that did most of the scammings, but I can't remember the name. TheMezz (UGH.....) was all over it..

Yup, I remember there were like 2-3 diff sites, but speculation says that all of them were linked together in some way. It was bizarre I say...
