a guy at UZI.com reported that JKF is having some internal problems with cc# thefts. Anybody heard anything? Not that I really care about JoeKens problems, you know? but any news about events that may cause them to fold, well, thats great news!

You'd have to ask LIONHART as he was the one who was taken. I would think it is the same guy from here. Ask him.
It is posted at gunsnet and hasn't been editted. |

So much for them "turning things around" at JoeKen like Andrew was saying.
Guess we will have to watch how this plays out. |
|
Never mind the obvious jokes about being charged for stuff not received...
How is he pinning the cc fraud on JK when there are so many ways to jack the #? |
|
Come on guys... share the links when you have them....

I see joe is up to his same old tricks, about spinning why he is not answering e-mails. gee no wonder they stay in business......when you have a whole site that is buying his lies, and sending him money, that place is like the goose that laid the golden egg to him.

This is nothing. It only scratches the surface. They are facing some really big trouble right now and it has nothing to do with the cc scam. I talked to my friend on goonsnet and he said to keep an eye on the court docket in Winslow. He was pretty confident they would not be able to survive this one. Funny thing is that Thornton has nothing to do with this one. It's all joken.
|
|
well they are in Winslow, perhaps the employees are buying meth
|
|
Well, because nobody has done it yet. . . . . . ."You've got to be JOEKING!!!!!"
|

Whoa man they just started a storm by mentioning "Joeken"..,,,

The name of this thread is freaken funny I laugh everytime I read over the forum....Trouble at Joeken... When has'nt there been???
|
|
I think it is time for somebody to post the picture of thier fine establishment.
|
|
From what I've read it was an employee at a subcontractor, their website developer, who was intercepting and using the card numbers. Hard to blame JK for this, it could happen to any business that relies on a subcontractor for IT work. I'm a IT subcontractor, self employed, and I can tell you just how vulnerable the average small business is to their IT people. Any unscrupulous IT person could rob the average business blind and they wouldn't know a thing. I've cleaned up after these crooks on more than one occassion.

....all you guys MUST be mistaken!...it was just the other day Joke'n was on here telling us they got their shit together!....we would see a new and improved Joke'n...just you wait and see! yeah right.....pigs are flying outta my ass too!

|
|
Trouble at Joeken...Naahhhh , must be another one of those rumors floating around...
|
|
Some one on that Goonsnet thread mentions a ar AR15.com Troll
This is the last time I going to warn you guys about hasseling Joe and Young Andy. Just think, 10 months ago Andy was making soup for our guys in in Fort Dix, under Enemy Fire. |
|
that's nothing, I want to see the photoshop of their burning storefront getting raided by the ATF. |

"Standin' on a corner in Winslow Arizona, such a fine sight to see, it's a run-down shack with a bunch of quacks trying to get a credit card number form me. . . . .take it easy. . . .take it easy. . . .They sold you an AK, you thought it was good, but instead it was a Hesseee. . . .C'mon baby, c'mon baby, we'll ship your stuff out promptly. . . . . .
I could go on if you want. . . . . . |

Looks like a building in Iraq!!?
one thing comes to mind about joeken is a thread where he came and defended his self and said things are going to turn around and how we should trust him cause he's an Army MP that was serving in Iraq ... my personal experiences while serving in the Army is that it would be a serious mistake to trust somebody JUST because they served as an MP or anyone else in the Army ... thats all im going to say about that. Kind of low that he would use serving in the military to get points with his customers anyway. |
|
much better pickmeup than coffee, thanks! Now where's the dead dog in KF's pic? |
|
I remember that threead, well. I (and others as well)expressed similar sentiments, and he got all defensive and acted like we were belittleing his service. Some of the biggest slugs and scam artists I have ever met, I met in the military. I do not remember recieving a new ultra honest personality when I was handed a DD-214. |

Damn, you guys owe me for this one........I just spent at least 2 hours combing through the archives for this.....

I have never and will never do business with those idiots.
They should be banned from this site. IBTL |
|
One of the best threads ever. |
|

Actually, MPs are the biggest crooks in the Military on average. Go to an MP company anywhere, and they will have a higher then normal rate of Article 15s, drugs, etc. |
|

that song is definetly a keeper................I laugh my ass off when I first read it, and again when I read the second time.

I don't know if anyone will remember this:
www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=4&f=64&t=73419 Ol' Joe himself offered up an AK rifle for a review. I have emailed him and IM'd him recently with no reply. I am/was trying to give him a chance, but I don't know if his offer will become reality. I have never had any prior dealings with Joeken, and I sent our FFL to them to receive the AK rifle from them. I know they received it because I logged into their dealer section. Go figure! BTW. Somebody make that link hot please. *edited by Templar to hotlink* |
|
as much as I hate to say it, some of the rifles they sell are put together well and look like they are finished with gunkote. this is of course from an asthetic standpoint only, I have not been able to fire them. there are some slight issues with the manufacture of the receiver but it sadly looks better than the OOW when it is together. |
|
|
Oh I think bro JoeKen missed the point. It was not the rifles that were under question but customer service and bank account security that are the biggest issues.
|
|
Speaking of Campy, WHERE IS HE? It's been months since he posted last. Is he sick, lame, or lazy? I can understand all three, but why doesn't he let us know? He's the biggest reason I came to ARFCOM, cause I liked his wit and wisdom. (no fag jokes, please)

Board burn out. Others claim 'events' but they were just parking lot speed bumps in past years. And he just got back from a 2 week Sturgis trip.... |
|
|
I just sent him an email. Told him I had to spend two hours looking for his lyrics to the Joken song....
Told him to drop in and say hello if he get's the chance. |
|
Bob King was one of the founders of the dark side on AR15.COM
|
|
That would be St. Campy. |
|
|
I'd rather give a fox the keys to the chicken coup than give Joeken my credit card number.
