Caution Excessive Performance, Thiefs!

I kind of hate to do this but but i dont want anyone to get screwed like I did

Well my story goes, I was on the Link forums looking to buy a used AEM EMS when i found Andre selling/trading his, well I thought perfect! so i ended up contacting him and had a answer in no time.

So I went and pulled my newly upgraded V3 Link took a picture of what i was sending him, then did some research of "Excessive Performance" to see if it was a scam and found out it was a shop the adress was good and Andre was involved. So I did not hesitate and shipped the package since it was a legit buisness and it was there within a week.

He replyed he had recieved it and needed time with the AEM since he was competeing and would ship after. so as time soes by nothing shows up so i reply and reply and reply some more and hear nothing. I ended up contacting Frank Gray on the deal and said no problem he would talk with him.

well more time passes and one reply from Frank and constant replys to Andre i still have no AEM or do i have a link for my car. it is now the middle of January and the deal started in the middle of October.

Below is just some of my PM's emails and Facebook messages.

Hey man I got your dsmlink. Everything is great! I boxed up the AEM for it to go out with the rest of some parts going to customers but it didn't go. I'm going to expedite it to you on Monday. I didn't realize that it hasn't shipped out.

I apologize

To Whom it may concern at Excessive Performance,

Hello my name is Steven Goodlet and I was wondering if Andre Kirmanidis has had you ship out his old V1. AEM EMS, installation cd , cable and a Trigger disk (as it was a trade for my DSM LINK V3 chip, 1G ecu, usb cable and installation cd) if so i was wondering if you can provide me with a tracking number as I am unable to contact/ refuses to answer emails.

The Canada Post tracking number to show that my package was addressed to your shop and that it was received


Tracking Number: CE535513021CA

Service: Xpresspost USA











Below is my messages to and from Andre via ECMTuning Forum. to show he used the Shop name to receive

I bought some new Rods and Cams off Nicejob on the ECMTuning forums, had plenty of conversation about the deal until he made the Paypal request to pay for them, I paid, and then nothing at all.

I can see that he's been online on the forums there just about every day and he has yet to respond to a single message about what is happing and where my package is. It has been 30 days since paying. I'm putting in a fraudulent claim into Paypal, and I just have to wait for that investigation to go though to get my money back.

Looks like this POS "Nicejob" targets people outside the US with his scams.

Deal started in Oct 2012 and it's now the end of Feb 2013, don't think he ever had any intention of honouring the deal Steve. He' obviously out there building his car off the proceeds of lies and scams.

I wish both of you good luck, but don't hold your breath....

I got his attention with the paypal claim, he was asking if I was still interested, I gave him a straight up offer to give me the parcel tracking number and I would stop the claim.

Nothing for another week and a bit. Few days before the Paypal claim discovery period was about to end, he says that the quote he got to post was no where near what it was actually going to cost, and that the deal was pretty much off there and that he was just going to let paypal claim timeout and I'd get my money then. Got the money back and just got my time wasted in the end.

The shop is not involved. This is a personal deal between me and you. Has absolutely nothing to do with excessive performance.

I will have this shipped to you tomorrow

I need your address again



you do notice you used your shops address correct. thats how it got involved. if you used your personal address it would of been a competely different view of things. when I use my shops name its myself my shops name out there and everyone involved, im sorry but that's the way I see it Andre.

Because he never got anything back that's why. Sorry to hear that buddy that's why I just deal locally or buy stuff from reputable vendors. Hopefully all this mess turns out good for you but honestly I don't see how. Still best of lucks!

AH well it seemed it was taken care of through paypal. Guess i had misread.



Talk to a lawyer. Get him to mail something over. Sometimes the scare of a suit is enough.

If that doesn't help then you will at least be ready to take it to the next step.

The lawyer can also get more info on the guy for you. Im the type that wont let stuff go either. I once spent 2 years and had 3k in wrapped up into something similar. Record and keep track of everything. The court will reimburse you in a win.

Even then people say "o well it will take years to get your money back". Not true either. You can get it back rather quickly if you dont care how it effects their livelihood.

Yeah I still have not received anything from him. And I've talked to some family in his area that are lawyers and they said I just have to keep everything and document everything and dont deal on the phone.
And I have kept all of the emails and pm's that I have received from both ppl.
