shoresidejake Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 So we called Neal's shop today to ask a question about a previously placed order that was placed like a year ago - and a Spanish guy named "Chris" answered the phone and is saying that Neal no longer owns the shop and has skipped town and moved to California to open another shop. Chris claims that Neal will be temporarily running business for his "WorldHookah.com" site out of a storage unit... which is illegal in all 50 states... you CANNOT run ANY business out of a storage facility. Besides, who wants to picture their tobacco sitting in a hot ass storage unit with 10 MYAs stacked on top of it? STAY AWAY!Upon further investigation and posts on other half-ass designed sites of his, we discovered that the reason he bucked town is due to several legal issues that Neal is having...Nice... when you don't follow the law, and the cops come-a-knocking -- just move away and open another bullshit sorry excuse for a hookah business somewhere else.By the way, in the next month or so if you hear about a new shop somewhere in or around Hesperia, CA -- do yourself a favor and stay away -- it's Neal looking to take your money and run.Just a friendly heads up from Jake & Frank. Oh and if anyone has any doubts -- call and talk to Chris at The Devil's Playground yourself -- (702) 396-6662 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was the man too, he talked to me on the phone for like 30 min when i had a question about my order, now he won't even answer your calls, questions, or emails.

Frank Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 It's about time Neal is gone.....he's about as shady as an old oak tree.Hopefully no one falls for the new hookah owner in the San Diego area when he opens up shop.He needs to just get out of the business, he has tainted the reputation of vendors and suppliers everywhere....Plus many people have been duped as a result of dealing with him.

mushrat Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Well..anyone who ordered from him AFTER this started had better not come on here crying about not getting their orders.As for where he goes..once we find out his new location..we can always pass on the word to the proper authorities.THIS is why this forum does not HAVE sponsor Vendors. Don't want to look like asses when someone who advertised on our site turns out to be a crook or worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuie Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 So is this the final chapter of Neal, or will the drama be reborn. I am hoping for the latter, Battlestar Galactica isn't kicking off again till January, and I could use a good real life drama show! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickReppinThe909 Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 thats just fucking great news now hes gonna be like an hour away from me in ghetto ass hesperia and the usage of his products will more than likely be used in an un-condoned manner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Click Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 (edited) Fun Fact: You have to drive through Hesperia on the I-15 to go to... VEGAS! Where Neal was once located. Something about that guy and the I-15 I'm guessing. Edited July 11, 2008 by click Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srawas89 Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Wow that is really funny on what happened...I can see it now....once Neal takes too much money from people and the fact that he has crossed state lines the FBI will get him sooner or later. A great example on how not to run your hookah store or lounge haha. Anyway now that Neal is out of the picture this new guy Chris is he going to continue the operation of the hookah store that Neal left behind? Just curious since maybe if he operates it right there will be another vendor that will help contribute to these wonderful forums. p.s. If I have done anything wrong in my posts Mods just let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoop Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 ATF wont disappear if he crosses state borders if he still has problems with themin edition: if he tries to make another website, it will be easy to catch anyway. its going to be a super generic e-commerce template that doesn't work properly and has graphics a 5 year old designed for it.

Sure, I might've felt sorry for him when he was having problems [before all this recent shit went down], but I never even bought a single item from his site.Thanks for the update Jake. I live in CA so I will be looking out for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickReppinThe909 Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 if only he would come into riverside county i could do something about him but im sure i could call over to SBSO and have him watched carefully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
