Sunkin is the epitome of a pathological liar. In his mind, there is no difference between reality and fantasy. Scary MOFO!

We started all of the research to PROTECT CS and Serious after Rob sent out his now-famous email. We wanted to make sure there wasn't something else Rob could find and exploit. Kinda ironic, huh?

No problem, there is chris sunkin standing there on the dock with his life jacket. I had met him 10 minutes before. He comes out on my boat, helped me and then my boat wouldn't start on one engine. Before the hatch was all the way open, he's in the bilge and finds a loose wire on my neutral safety switch within two minutes. He does know something about boats, I thought that he was a really nice guy and I defended him big time when all the allegations broke. He asked me if was interested in being a part of his new website. I told him that I would be happy to be a mod or something. A month later when the website goes live, I'm the administartor and had no idea what I got myself into! LOL

I was wrong. I will apologise to Rob (OSD) when I see him in person this summer.

How to Avoid Getting Ripped-Off at the Cybermarket

by Chris Sunkin

http://www.mccookracing.com/articles...oidRipoffs.htm

I definately found this part interesting

Fifth- know the law. A bit of research on State-level laws can be very helpful. A few years back, I got clipped for about a grand from a guy I knew in Connecticut. He was an acquaintance and a business associate. I made the mistake of confusing friendliness for friendship. Familiarity can be dangerous. Anyway, Mr. Deadbeat was slow to send a check and when it did come, it bounced. I called him and he ducked me for a bit but I finally caught him. More excuses and a sob story. I hung up and called the local police station. Amazingly, they were happy to help. The faxed a form and I filled it out, had it notarized and sent it back. They went right out and hooked him. About 3 hours later, I got a call from Mr. Deadbeat's wife begging me to drop the charge and have her husband released from custody. Apparently Connecticut has some very strict check bouncing laws. Wife managed to make it to Western Union and hubby was home for dinner. It's funny how handcuffs and bars eliminate obstacles to locating funds. I know Florida is that same way.

Guess Chris is lucky the childrens' charity wasn't in Connecticut huh?

I've never seen him in his own boat. But I was wondering how all the lies got passed most of us!! There seem to be so many of them. So it doesn't happen again.

I remember early on wondering who this guy was and where he came from - like out of nowhere. Once he bumped into a few of us and established credibility, as illustrated in the previous posts, the warning flags all went back down.

It's still happing right now. Boat manufactures are still posting on his site, engines builders are still posting on his site, some of the best known poker runners... It blows me away that these people would want to be associated with that clown.

An engine builder friend of mine was unaware of this thread. I'm sure he will check this thread out tonight to help him decide on the SOS advertising solicitation he just received.

Yep.....that is a problem since folks can't post on SOS regarding this. Each individual needs to be contacted and advised of KoolAid Chris directly.
