I have avoided making my ongoing saga/nightmare with Bill Casey AKA "TPC Trikes" public, however after receiving an invoice for another $2000 from this scam artist, I have no choice.
DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH BILL CASEY/TPC TRIKES. This has singlehandedly been one of the worst experiences in my LIFE. This man is a thief, con-man, and a liar.
I contracted Bill/TPC to build a TPC frame for me that would house a TRX 250R engine. This was to get a full feature in Dirt Wheels magazine. Well long story short, the frame was many months behind schedule, and finally I was told that it was done (a little over a year later). I sent a check to pay for “Materials” as Bill put it, the check was cashed immediately, 1 month later NO FRAME. Bill would not answer his phone or respond to any messaging. Two months later NO FRAME, Bill is still missing in action. Finally after posting on FB Bill magically appeared with every excuse under the sun as to why he had immediately cashed my check and not sent the frame.
So, three months after my check was cashed, and I was told the frame was done, I received my frame. Long story short, NOTHING was right on the frame. Nothing fit, and NOTHING worked. I took the frame to a well respected and notable builder of custom trikes and he said that at least 60 hours of fab work would be necessary to make the frame work.
I let Bill know of the issues with the frame and the frame was sent back to Bill (at my expense) for him to try to fix. At this point and throughout the entire process, Bill managed to turn EVERYTHING around and blame it all on me, which I am told is what he does. Finally after waiting another 2 months for the frame to be fixed I requested a refund. At this point in time my wife and I had a baby that was needing open heart surgery so the funding for this project had dried up. Bill agreed to a refund and claimed that “the check is in the mail”. One month later, NO refund check and Bill has once again seemed to have gone missing. SO once again I posted on facebook and Bill magically appeared! Still claiming that the check was in the mail, and would be there any day. Finally, 1 month later a check did arrive, that Bill had cancelled. So I now have no frame and no refund!
And to put the icing on the cake, I received ANOTHER invoice from TPC Trikes las Friday for $1925. For a frame that I do not have. Again, AVOID THIS MAN AND COMPANY LIKE THE PLAUGE. This guy has scammed more people than anyone even knows because he threatens to sue anyone that tries to expose his lies and bullshit.
