Scam/Estafa/Trapaça: Angulo, Tangential, Mejía, Vortex Vinyl Disc Recorder C-4, C-6

[Steve E.]

Thanks for the sweet words!

Vortex has apparently/allegedly scammed someone else for $4500. Never delivered a bought machine/system. Perhaps this person will post soon. I'm just getting emails from them, can't confirm the truth of their claims.

Hello, we purchased the machine last June. Vortex had us! We paid $4,500 and to this day, he is asking us for $1,500 more to receive it. Every day we receive messages and insults from him. We would like to know how it would be possible to file a complaint against him! And even the lawyer we hired cannot reach him. Thank you for telling me how to proceed.

Welcome, Quatuor! It might be helpful to know what country you are located in.

On what grounds are they claiming you owe another $1500?

Can anyone offer advice to this person?

[Quatuor]

We live in France, he made us an offer of $4500, we respected the terms of this offer and after paying, he asked us to pay $1500 more.

We just got someone email asking us if we recommend buying from Vortex! We will keep doing what we can do get people getting into lathe cutting to use Lathe Trolls as a resource, it is invaluable and could well save you a fortune if you read this thread.

El 7 de diciembre de 2025 hice el trato con este señor y la hice la trasferencia. Hasta hoy todo son excusas y demoras. Hoy me he levantado con un WhatsApp pidiéndome 600 euros más en concepto de aranceles. He perdido toda esperanza ya demoras que la máquina llegue algún día.
