:|:  LAMER #1 Mario  :|:

  Mario is a rider from the Valley area, he lives in Chino somewhere and drives a yellow Honda CBR 900RR.  Mario is displayed on this page for two reasons.  One, He was there at the ride when Max and Lenny crashed.  While my group tended to Max...Mario and a few of his friends looked after Lenny.  Later on we found out that Lenny was missing 300 dollars from his wallet.  He had this 300 dollars because we were supposed to go to Bert's Mega Mall afterwards where Lenny planned to buy a new helmet.  After asking around, we heard from several people that the only person seeing handling Lenny's wallet was Mario.  At the time I didn't think that Mario was the kind of person to do this to a fellow rider.  Then a few months down the line something happened that would change my complete outlook on Mario.
  Mario also runs a business called MARCOM computers.  Where he claims to sell computer hardware.  I went to Mario looking for some upgrades to my system.  I bought several items from Mario, cpu, memory, motherboard and graphics card.  When I received the parts I proceeded to put the upgrades in place and found out that the motherboard was faulty.  I asked Mario to exchange the board, and he said he would.  I packaged up the motherboard and took it to him.  Almost 2 weeks later he finally called me back and said he got it exchanged.  When I got the board from him I noticed that it was still packaged up the same way I gave it to him.  I thought odd of this but gave him the benefit of the doubt.  Took the board home, installed it and it failed again.  I tried calling him back for 2 weeks but he avoided my phone calls.  I finally got a hold of him and and told him what happened and he then told me that the window to exchange was gone and that there was nothing else he could do.  We argued over the incident for a few weeks but then I knew I wouldn't get my money back or a new board.  So I filed a complaint with the BBB.  You can view the complaint HERE.  I couldn't believe he could do this to a fellow rider, but  then I was reminded of what happened when he was around a fellow rider that went down, Lenny.  Mario is definitely not a person to trust.  Several people warned me about him but I gave him the benefit of the doubt.  Now, I am here to warn you of the type of person he really is.  Please don't learn the hard way like I did.
