Thats right. Do any of you vetrans remember the name Keith Sybliss or Bluemajic? Well, Master Tuner Akimoto's real name is Keith Sybliss, who used to be Bluemajic on PFF untill he ripped countless people off of here and ebay. People here set him up and caught him in the act of stealing money from fraudulent auctions and bad deals on PFF. They put the heat on him so bad that he disapeared. BUT, being the fraud liar that I have told you all that he is, he couldnt stay gone, he came back as the "Master Tuner" and ripped me off of $6,000 for a job that he couldnt do.
Want proof? Do a search of "sybliss" in the Archived GFC and entire thread. You will find 2 pages of threads and stories of how he ripped off people and was threated to be turned into the athorities. You will also notice that he tries to defend him self the same way he did with me. Never taking the blame and sounding oh so stupid doing it.
Yep, this guy was one of ther first crooks on the forum. I almost fell prey to those 88 front wheel bearings that were suppose to be leftover stock and improted from PR. I backed out when he would only take cash or MO. Glad I did. I thought that he ended up in Jail? Anyway, I am glad he has been exposed. But then there is always two sides to a story, hopefully he will post his. I really want to hear what he has to say!! so don't ban the guy just yet. lets hear his story......

Personally I really don't care if he was the devil incarnate I am really getting tired of reading all the MTA bashing threads. All you do is post up crap threads to start shat. You need to find a hobby rather than being a goof on the internet.

I agree the MTA bashing threads are getting tiresome. But, I know at least 3 - 4 people in our local club who bought items off of Ebay from "Keith Sybliss" and never recieved the item or a refund. So if MTA does = Keith Sybliss, then I would say this thread is valid.

Dont read the threads then. You didnt get ripped off $6,000 and have a f'ed Fiero. This is a Valid thread and a theif exposed and a warning to all. I am sure people will find this usefull as he is still trying to rip people off.
MTA is also Defenitely Keith Sybliss. I have sent him Post Office Money orders, Fed Ex, Western Union, etc..... All traceable items.

You know, in a lot of the forums I'm on, if there was any hint of a person being a ripper (scammer), they would have their account suspended until they cleared their name. If there were any proof, that person would be subject to an immediate ban.
Gmetal/black-azz-gt has provided a mountain of evidence. If even a shred of it is true, we need to consider whether scammers are people who should be on our forum.
I need to ask a question. If you knew who he was why did you deal with him in the first place?
I obviously didnt know about this. I was just brought to my attention. The sad part is that I considered myself a good judge of charicter, but he totaly fooled me with his con artist skills. He hid his identity for a long time, but is exposed as he should be.
The funny part is he deffended himself by calling me a liar, and a "****** hater redneck", and now the truth is out for good.

While MTA being a hack and fraud is old news, him being Keith Sybliss is news to me. I haven't had any dealings with him, but I'm glad to get the information so I don't get ripped off by one of his aliases.
I guess the next step for the people who've been scammed is to collect evidence and persue legal action, if possible.
When I first announced last year that he was doing the swap on my car, I mentioned his name in a thread and he immediately asked me to remove his name. He told me that Rockcrawl didnt like him and he didnt want him to know that it was him who was going to buy his next chip, for my car.
He told me that they had some sort of disagreement in the past. HMMMMMM

I know there has been alot of there was a point to be proven I guess. I am sick of seeing pictures of Fiero5's car but we are all subjected to that. I guess it is our choice to choose what we read.
Maybe now Gunmetal will get some support from the former MTA supporters, and get this guy off the forum or at least out of business. But on a down side, I don't think you will get anymore of that damn fine chicken.
A trade off I guess, just my $0.02 or 5th of a dime <---- MTA fix all

You need to tell them how you stole Flat Screen Viewsonic monitors for $300 and brought them to my house for payment and was trying to sell mother boards and monitor to my friend Randy from your job to sell and pay for the job also the towels you brought to my house I have already contacted your job Jessica Roon the lady in charge of hiring and loss prevention with the evidence so they can investigate you.
BTW I got your SSN and you have a lot of baggage in your closet that I will post on the internet so your can explain.

Dont read the threads then. You didnt get ripped off $6,000 and have a f'ed Fiero.
Tell me you really did not actually pay $6,000 dollars for a carburated 4.9 swap For $6,000 bucks I can do a brandnew crate 4.9 including buying the wire harness. premade.
You know a brandnew(probally remain) 4.9 will run you no more then $2500 bucks + a premade wire harness $700bucks, Spec stage 3 clutch $350bucks, New alt $120 , starter $65 bucks oil, plug wires, misc hoses $300bucks (that's using some expensive misc items ) Ed parks mounts and tensioning system $365 bucks IM STILL NOT AT $6000bucks YET !!!! Oh yeah custom exhaust system $700bucks adds up to a bit over $5000 bucks.
Im not siding with anyone or sticking up for MTA im just a bit curious to were in the heck did $6000 bucks go into. Was this all cash money paid ?
This is only a question do not take this as a flame Gunmetal.
It seems that he has put alot of people out over the last couple of years. It's this kinda stuff that makes me a little happier that I am a poor college student and can't afford extra things for my car.

Indeed, completely dodged the questions at hand.

Anything but Master Tuner Akimoto. For the longest time I thought he has a Japanise ricer mechanic, maybe the same guy that convinved Fiero5 that his car was a Civic. But I was wrong, he's a slimmy a$$ thief.

You listed over $5000 in parts, but no mention of labor. There's going to be a labor charge, too, and getting an engine swap done for less than $1000 labor is pretty good (IF you actually got the job done right and w/o and jack-leg jerry rigging)
I guess MTA can take over GmetalGT's personal identity now that he has his SS number. That would be one way to make a fresh start. I would watch out if the claims about who he is and his history are true.

I certainly would have wondered what he was trying to hide. Damned if I'd ever deal with someone who didn't want to be discovered.
Experience has taught me to be a little bit cynical.

I also.... Overpriced some of those items, If I did someones swap (not! hate working on other ppls car but my own) I would charge $800 bucks for labor, 4.9 swaps are stupid easy for me to do... If you don't believe me charging so cheap for labor.... I assisted in a couple members 4.9s on this board ......But never or less im not going to get into this (this thread is going to turn ugly and I made a pact not to get involved)

Hmmmm lets think here. Stolen Towels? Or $ 6000.00? Which is worse?
You are one sick crazy bastard MTA, just face the facts. You got your money didn't you? Well all except for the $0.80 you used in your swap (the dimes). So you call a guys work because he found out the truth about you???????????
You will never get business from anyone else on this forum and you should be banned from ever using this forum. If the moderators would step in and do whats best for the members of this forum you would already be gone. A repeat offender, three different names, this is ridiculus. I guess they were too busy with the boys over on RFT to spend time taking care of actual important matters like this a$$hole.
Funny. If you're right, I will be in trouble, but I dont have anything to worry about.
I have worked on Computers for 6 years and get get you anything you want, that doesnt mean they are stolen. Your computer crashed and you asked if I could help you out. I told you that I had a motherbord and processor that I would sell you, wich I still have. When I build computers on the side, people usualy give me there old one's to move the data off of and leave it with me. I then keep usable parts for inventory. I am a legit bussines man.
As for my past I guess you could dig up my being arrested several times for driving with a suspended license, and having bad credit but that doesnt make me a crook.
