Speaker 4 (06:38):
Hello, Hey, Ramon, Yeah, you're wondering. You're wondering who this
guy is. It just popped in like this. Yeah, my
name's Hollywood Hamilton. I'm a radio personality on wk T Radio.
You're on something called Friday. Right, listen to me. Listen
to me, Listen to me. Don't say anything. Shut your mouth.
Shut your mouth. You're in a lot of hot water here, okay,
(07:00):
because your entire livelihood and what little reputation you have
in this city depends on the way you respond to
me and the life changing advice I'm about to give you. Yeah,
you remember a customer by the name of Nicole.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
She abought to Toyota Corolla.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
From you twenty fifteen, about three weeks ago.
Speaker 6 (07:16):
The Cole I sold a lot of cars to the Coles.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
You actually sold her a huge Lemon.
Speaker 6 (07:21):
Oh I sold her a Corolla. I didn't a Lemon.
I also proof it's a cost Nicole.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
Why don't you go ahead and tell him what you
ended up buying off him?
Speaker 9 (07:28):
Go ahead, Hi, Ramon, I know you remember me.
Speaker 6 (07:31):
I well you, Nicole? How's everything today?
Speaker 9 (07:33):
I bought this car, I testove it, I took it
around the block. You told me everything was going to
be good.
Speaker 11 (07:39):
I expressed how nervous I was because I hadn't done
this before by myself, and you guaranteed me everything. And
then the second I went above sixty five on the highway,
all of a sudden, I'm shaking, I'm wobbling.
Speaker 9 (07:53):
I don't know what to do. I'm freaking out. So
I took it for a second opinion.
Speaker 7 (07:57):
And the guy's showing me how the paint doesn't match
one on one of the wheel ends, and house all
the bumper and the frames messed up, and one thing
after another, and I just it's just so frustrating because
you just guaranteed me everything.
Speaker 9 (08:11):
And then I called you and you don't answer. All
of a sudden, you go ghost.
Speaker 7 (08:14):
You don't know.
Speaker 8 (08:14):
I show up at the place. Everybody says, oh, he's
not here right now, he's not here.
Speaker 9 (08:17):
He'll help you whatever, even but you never in.
Speaker 6 (08:20):
Oh sorry, you haven't been able to get in touch
with me, Nicole. I haven't you know. I've been big here.
I had a lot of customers.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Yeah, Ramone, don't start with that, okay, because it's been
two weeks. She's been trying to get ahold of you
for two weeks you've been avoiding her for two weeks.
She came down there twice to leave messages for you.
Here's the deal, Ramon. She wants her money back, with
it twenty four hours, or we're gonna come down on
you so heavy that you're it's You had more than
enough time to get her money back, or to at
least give her the common courtesy of taking her call
(08:49):
and seeing what the problem is.
Speaker 5 (08:50):
Yeah, you sold her a damaged car.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
The car apparently was involved in an accident. Not only
is the frame bent, but the paint does it match?
And you knew that, Ramone, You knew that.
Speaker 12 (09:05):
According to the law, I can't do that.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
You did it.
Speaker 10 (09:08):
That's exactly true, though, and consumers are protected in New York, Ramone.
In fact, the car does not meet the terms of
its written warranty, and you have not resolved the problem.
And therefore this meets all the requirements of a Lemon
law and you must refund.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
Nicole. Do you know how bad your company's gonna sit
with this? Now we're on national radio, you know we
can come down on you with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau,
the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Better Business Bureau,
local law enforcement there in the Bronx.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
They would have a field day with this guy, and
the Insurance Fraud Bureau, the IFB. I mean, listen to me,
here's the deal. So Nicole, you're saying you can get
down there today? Can you get down there today?
Speaker 9 (09:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 12 (09:50):
Yeah, Wait a minute, I don't know if I'm not
just gonna hand you over a check.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
She went, listen to me, Romote, she went to two
different She had two different people tell her that the
frame is bent and the paint doesn't match.
Speaker 6 (10:03):
There were two different.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
We are going to call every agency there is to call.
We are going to rat you out so badly.
Speaker 13 (10:11):
That's right, and you can forget about selling cars everything.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
She's coming down there. She wants her six thousand dollars back.
Speaker 5 (10:19):
And she's a young girl.
Speaker 13 (10:20):
You know you're taking advantage of her. She's a young girl,
never done this before. You know exactly what you're doing.
Speaker 6 (10:29):
The block it went nice. So we went up to
like thirty forty. It's all nice.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Want to tell you, you know what I'm gonna do.
I'm gonna change things up a little bit. You know
what I'm gonna do, Nicole, I have a friend who
is a mechanic. I'm going to send you tomorrow, Nicole,
what are you doing? What are you doing tomorrow?
Speaker 9 (10:47):
Tomorrow?
Speaker 8 (10:48):
This four?
Speaker 4 (10:49):

owns an auto body shop in Brooklyn. He's going to
meet you at wherever you're at at four o'clock and
you both are going to go over together. He's going
to take a look at the car tomorrow at four o'clock.
And after he takes a look at the car tomorrow
at four o'clock, then both of you are going to
go down and see Ramone. By the way, Ramone, are
you the owner of this place?
Speaker 12 (11:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (11:08):
You own? No? Great great All right, well, we'll be
getting in touch with the owner probably today to let
him know that Nicole and my buddy is going to
be down there at five o'clock, five o'clock tomorrow. Okay,
So we're gonna shut you down. If you don't give
her the six thousand dollars back, we are going to
shut you down. My next call is to your boss.
(11:29):
Thank you very much on the moone, have a great day,
Bye bye, Ramone. Okay, Nicole, my buddy his name is Steve,
Steve Ranson. Steve's gonna be at your place tomorrow at
what time did I say to me? Steve? Steve's gonna
be your place tomorrow at four o'clock. He's going to
take a look at your car. Do you understand? Do
you understand, Nicole? This guy is not a good guy.
He's a bad guy. He's given us a little bit
(11:51):
of friction.
Speaker 5 (11:51):
Real smug too. What an attitude.
Speaker 9 (11:54):
He was not like that when I bought the car.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
But here's the deal. I'm glad he's not the owner.
So we're going to place calls, probably this after obviously
this afternoon, we're going to ask for the owner. We're
gonna talk. We're gonna tell him who I am and
what the company is and all that kind of we're
gonna get hold of this guy on the phone. We're
gonna let him know that again. We're gonna let him
know that you're gonna be arriving tomorrow around five o'clock
with the third opinion, and he's gonna know you're gonna
(12:17):
want your money back. And he's gonna know that almost
half a million people heard you on the radio today.
I would be so surprised if they blatantly after being
on the radio and exposing this company.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
Yeah, it would.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
Be very surprising. Okay, Nicole, do you understand what we're
gonna do. Marie's gonna call you, uh when we get
off the air.
Speaker 6 (12:36):
Okay, all right.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
And last, but not least, Nicole, it's very important that
you follow through with this because we just put this
guy on blast, timid Ad.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
You don't let him intimidate, you don't let him scare you.
Speaker 9 (12:47):
I I'm a little reserved, but I definitely don't like
being disrespective, and I feel like that's like the point
where I'm at right now.

They small than mid size, four cylinders save young.
Speaker 5 (05:34):
Gas crv C.
Speaker 6 (05:36):
What is it that's like the mid size? It's like
a small suv.
Speaker 13 (05:41):
Oh okay, it's an suv. Okay, that's good. That'll work
in the snow, right.
Speaker 6 (05:46):
Yeah, depends how much snow you got.
Speaker 12 (05:48):
But yeah, twenty fourteen han CLV, a little lady had it.
She didn't put a lot of miles on the car.
It only got sixty thousand miles on it. You know,
I could probably let you get this one around ten grain.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
Does it have a warranty with it?
Speaker 12 (06:04):
I guarantee all my cause that I show here that
whoa woe with the warranty we got, we'll cover anything
anything problem with it on the parameters in New York.
Speaker 6 (06:13):
I got your back, Marine, okay.
Speaker 13 (06:15):
And after I test drive and I want to buy it,
You're gonna guarantee the car no matter what.
Speaker 6 (06:22):
Yes, of course.
Speaker 12 (06:23):
Wow. My job is to make sure I give you
a good customer service and a good quality car.
Speaker 6 (06:28):
So that's what I'm gonna do for you.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
Yeah, of course, just like you did with Nicole, right exactly.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
So he's a good guy though.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
I can tell he's got your back.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
Yeah, yeah, he's got honorable honorable Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Hello, Hey, Ramon, Yeah, you're wondering. You're wondering who this
guy is. It just popped in like this. Yeah, my
name's Hollywood Hamilton. I'm a radio personality on wk T Radio.
You're on something called Friday. Right, listen to me. Listen
to me, Listen to me. Don't say anything. Shut your mouth.
Shut your mouth. You're in a lot of hot water here, okay,
(07:00):
because your entire livelihood and what little reputation you have
in this city depends on the way you respond to
me and the life changing advice I'm about to give you. Yeah,
you remember a customer by the name of Nicole.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
She abought to Toyota Corolla.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
From you twenty fifteen, about three weeks ago.
Speaker 6 (07:16):
The Cole I sold a lot of cars to the Coles.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
You actually sold her a huge Lemon.
Speaker 6 (07:21):
Oh I sold her a Corolla. I didn't a Lemon.
I also proof it's a cost Nicole.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
Why don't you go ahead and tell him what you
ended up buying off him?
Speaker 9 (07:28):
Go ahead, Hi, Ramon, I know you remember me.
Speaker 6 (07:31):
I well you, Nicole? How's everything today?
Speaker 9 (07:33):
I bought this car, I testove it, I took it
around the block. You told me everything was going to
be good.
Speaker 11 (07:39):
I expressed how nervous I was because I hadn't done
this before by myself, and you guaranteed me everything. And
then the second I went above sixty five on the highway,
all of a sudden, I'm shaking, I'm wobbling.
Speaker 9 (07:53):
I don't know what to do. I'm freaking out. So
I took it for a second opinion.
Speaker 7 (07:57):
And the guy's showing me how the paint doesn't match
one on one of the wheel ends, and house all
the bumper and the frames messed up, and one thing
after another, and I just it's just so frustrating because
you just guaranteed me everything.
Speaker 9 (08:11):
And then I called you and you don't answer. All
of a sudden, you go ghost.
Speaker 7 (08:14):
You don't know.
Speaker 8 (08:14):
I show up at the place. Everybody says, oh, he's
not here right now, he's not here.
Speaker 9 (08:17):
He'll help you whatever, even but you never in.
Speaker 6 (08:20):
Oh sorry, you haven't been able to get in touch
with me, Nicole. I haven't you know. I've been big here.
I had a lot of customers.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Yeah, Ramone, don't start with that, okay, because it's been
two weeks. She's been trying to get ahold of you
for two weeks you've been avoiding her for two weeks.
She came down there twice to leave messages for you.
Here's the deal, Ramon. She wants her money back, with
it twenty four hours, or we're gonna come down on
you so heavy that you're it's You had more than
enough time to get her money back, or to at
least give her the common courtesy of taking her call
(08:49):
and seeing what the problem is.
Speaker 5 (08:50):
Yeah, you sold her a damaged car.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
The car apparently was involved in an accident. Not only
is the frame bent, but the paint does it match?
And you knew that, Ramone, You knew that.
Speaker 12 (09:05):
According to the law, I can't do that.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
You did it.
Speaker 10 (09:08):
That's exactly true, though, and consumers are protected in New York, Ramone.
In fact, the car does not meet the terms of
its written warranty, and you have not resolved the problem.
And therefore this meets all the requirements of a Lemon
law and you must refund.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
Nicole. Do you know how bad your company's gonna sit
with this? Now we're on national radio, you know we
can come down on you with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau,
the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Better Business Bureau,
local law enforcement there in the Bronx.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
They would have a field day with this guy, and
the Insurance Fraud Bureau, the IFB. I mean, listen to me,
here's the deal. So Nicole, you're saying you can get
down there today? Can you get down there today?
Speaker 9 (09:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 12 (09:50):
Yeah, Wait a minute, I don't know if I'm not
just gonna hand you over a check.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
She went, listen to me, Romote, she went to two
different She had two different people tell her that the
frame is bent and the paint doesn't match.
Speaker 6 (10:03):
There were two different.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
We are going to call every agency there is to call.
We are going to rat you out so badly.
Speaker 13 (10:11):
That's right, and you can forget about selling cars everything.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
She's coming down there. She wants her six thousand dollars back.
Speaker 5 (10:19):
And she's a young girl.
Speaker 13 (10:20):
You know you're taking advantage of her. She's a young girl,
never done this before. You know exactly what you're doing.
Speaker 6 (10:29):
The block it went nice. So we went up to
like thirty forty. It's all nice.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Want to tell you, you know what I'm gonna do.
I'm gonna change things up a little bit. You know
what I'm gonna do, Nicole, I have a friend who
is a mechanic. I'm going to send you tomorrow, Nicole,
what are you doing? What are you doing tomorrow?
Speaker 9 (10:47):

you both are going to go over together. He's going
to take a look at the car tomorrow at four o'clock.
And after he takes a look at the car tomorrow
at four o'clock, then both of you are going to
go down and see Ramone. By the way, Ramone, are
you the owner of this place?
Speaker 12 (11:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (11:08):
You own? No? Great great All right, well, we'll be
getting in touch with the owner probably today to let
him know that Nicole and my buddy is going to
be down there at five o'clock, five o'clock tomorrow. Okay,
So we're gonna shut you down. If you don't give
her the six thousand dollars back, we are going to
shut you down. My next call is to your boss.

Bye bye, Ramone. Okay, Nicole, my buddy his name is Steve,
Steve Ranson. Steve's gonna be at your place tomorrow at
what time did I say to me? Steve? Steve's gonna
be your place tomorrow at four o'clock. He's going to
take a look at your car. Do you understand? Do
you understand, Nicole? This guy is not a good guy.
He's a bad guy. He's given us a little bit
(11:51):
of friction.
Speaker 5 (11:51):
Real smug too. What an attitude.
Speaker 9 (11:54):
He was not like that when I bought the car.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
But here's the deal. I'm glad he's not the owner.
So we're going to place calls, probably this after obviously
this afternoon, we're going to ask for the owner. We're
gonna talk. We're gonna tell him who I am and
what the company is and all that kind of we're
gonna get hold of this guy on the phone. We're
gonna let him know that again. We're gonna let him
know that you're gonna be arriving tomorrow around five o'clock
with the third opinion, and he's gonna know you're gonna
(12:17):
want your money back. And he's gonna know that almost
half a million people heard you on the radio today.
I would be so surprised if they blatantly after being
on the radio and exposing this company.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
Yeah, it would.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
Be very surprising. Okay, Nicole, do you understand what we're
gonna do. Marie's gonna call you, uh when we get
off the air.
Speaker 6 (12:36):
Okay, all right.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
And last, but not least, Nicole, it's very important that
you follow through with this because we just put this
guy on blast, timid Ad.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
You don't let him intimidate, you don't let him scare you.
Speaker 9 (12:47):
I I'm a little reserved, but I definitely don't like
being disrespective, and I feel like that's like the point
where I'm at right now.
