Since Alfredo (aka lynn) has been kind enough to share his experiences, I feel obligated to share with you an email exchange wherein Alfredo (masquerading as one tina in our forums) attempted to extort us. Here is one of his many emails to us (edited for decency):

The entire email thread is available below. You can decide for yourselves.

BE WARNED: use of explicit language is part of this exchange:

CLICK here to see why Rip-off Report, as a matter of policy, deleted either a phone number, link or e-mail address from this Report.

As you can see Alfredo is making a blatant attempt to exort products from us.

Also in response to other comments/accusations made by Alfredo here:

1. We only removed Alfredo from our forums after he sent a message to me stating (his words)

"f___ off! your a stupid pr__k ! delete me for your POS forum!"

I can only assume that was a request to be deleted from our forums (the explicit version can be found in the link above if you're really interested). In Alfredo's statement at this site, I replied to him I was "happy to honor [this] request [of his to remove him from our forums]" as he made this request to us.

He was repeatedly given instructions on how to access our DIY forums (and which many hundreds of other customers have and do access with no problems), and when he finally did follow the directions and was provided immediate access.

We have not deleted any of Alfredo's (tina's) posts from our forums. He posted reasonable questions (c-mount, using something other than the gg we provide in the kit) so there is no reason to delete them.

His post here regarding our products is an untruth. We proactively sell and market both a professionally manufactured product and a DIY Guide for building an adapter for very little money. The DIY Guide provides instructions on how to purchase inexpensive parts and build a working adapter for as little as possible (usually around $100-150 total). There is no mystery that a DIY version costs so little. In fact, that is the whole point of our DIY Guide.

The professionally manufactured version - which includes many other accessories in the kit besides the adapter, such as a rod support system, lens mount, and professionally manufactured lenses - does cost more, precisely because it is a manufactured product, not a Guide. We offer both products because some people prefer a lower cost DIY solution and others prefer a pre-built, professionally manufactured solution.

Please note that Alfredo has duplicated this post into many forums, as his threat has indicated. He has also indicated he is willing to plagarize our DIY Guide and post it for free to the Internet, which is illegal. You should also consider he does not use his real name when making these accusations as he has done here.

We are saddened some people abuse the privelege and responsibility of consumer advocate sites such as this.

We stand behind our products 100%. If anyone has any comments or pointed questions, we welcome them. you can write to me directly at brian@redrockmicro.com

Thanks for the opportunity to respond
