Default Corvette Armor RipOff

It has been just over a year since I found out that I had won a new 2002 Corvette Z06 from Corvette Armor. This has resulted in a year full of frustration and disappointment. Initially I was very excited about winning the car, but that feeling soon faded as Daniel Bauguess, the president of Corvette Armor made no attempts to contact me or make arrangements to order and deliver the car. Through the months of January to June, I spoke to either Daniel Bauguess or another company representative by the name of Bruce Daley on over a dozen occasions. As the delivery negotiations dragged on, I was given the option of ordering a 2003 model of the color of my choice, including any options that I wanted. After I picked out the car I wanted, the local dealer in Cedarburg put a preliminary order for the car in to GM. After several weeks the dealership received a down payment check for $2000 from Corvette Armor. When the dealership called me about the down payment being received I thought that things would after all turn around, and I would get my car. My dreams soon turned to a nightmare when I found out that a few days after the dealership received the check, Corvette Armor called to say that they were switching banks and that the check the dealership received should not be cashed and that a new check would be sent to replace it. Needless to say another check never came. After this, all calls to Corvette Armor were never answered or returned. Through all of this I have enlisted the help of two local television channels and have also filed a complaint with the Attorney Generals Office in North Carolina. I tried to remain positive, throughout my conversations with the people at Corvette Armor but as the weeks turned to months I realized that Corvette Armor was not genuine in its promise to deliver the car. In the end I was lead along with lies and empty promises. I hope that no other Corvette enthusiasts were duped or cheated by Corvette Armor by buying or distributing their products.

Considering the value of the prize, why haven't you hired an attorney where Corvette Armor is located. Sure it might cost you a few bucks, but if it gets you the car, or it's value less attorney fees, it would be worth it.

Ok, so I am dumb, but what kind of company is or was it?

What did they sell or manufacturer, I don't look at must of the newer stuff, since my Vette is a little old.

Ketch :crazy:

I'm not sure what good it would do. Are these guys even still in business?

Sorry to hear that.

Get in touch with the folks that regulate sweepstakes, 'cause that's what it is.

Are they not the same company that offered people the chance to become a "sales rep" for the company. Somekind of great lease deal on a new vette as long as you went to vette events in your area to show the product.
