SCAMMER ALERT!! Please read! ESPO RESTO

[Alex deJonge]

Hello All,

I have been on the forum before to alert the Porsche community, but many are still falling vicitm of Laurina Esposito of Espo Resto, John Espositio Porsche Repair and Women in Porsche (WIP).

I am including a link started by the Woman In Porsche. This is an organization created by Laurina, that is stealing and doing fraudulent activity within the Porsche community.

https://rennlist.com/forums/general-...n-porsche.html

I encourage you all to let the community know, especially those involved with WIP. There are still many women (worldwide) that are paying Laurina with membership fees.

There are countless people that have been effected by Laurina's web of lies/deceit. It is time to put this to an end before more fall victim, and lose money to her.

I am happy to direct any woman that are involved in WIP, to the appropriate parties.

Thank you, Alex @ Restoration Design Inc.



Alert: Women in Porsche & Laurina Esposito

Hallo passionate Porsche friends!
The Women in Porsche organization cancelled a women's retreat around the LA Auto Show in which we were to attend. The founder, Laurina Esposito, of Esposito Restoration in LA still brought 2 cars to display but cancelled the retreat and after many attempts, has not refunded our money. We all paid 4 figures for this event.

There are also many, many people that have been apparently scammed by John Esposito with regards to bodywork, cars that were paid for and never delivered as well as multiple former employees who were never paid. The judgements against him, his company, and the daughter are racking up quickly.

And the mods here have a bad habit of deleting threads that expose the shady practices of John and his associates. Let's see what happens this time.

I was just in California for a few days and spent some time with a Collector... He had a car on a trailer and I asked what it was.... He said it was a Porsche he had to pick up from Esposito
apparently the customer had paid for alot of metal work and paint work... They took the money and Did NO work... Then he proceeded to tell me all kinds of bad stories about Laurina and Her
Women in Porsche Organization.. Very Sad to have people like this in the Porsche world.... Cant believe anyone would ever send them work....

The sad part is this was brought to light 3 years ago already when a friend and real good guy was fleeced pretty good. Too many people here and on Pelican stood up for the Espositos instead of doing the right thing and now even more Porsche enthusiasts have been screwed. I wonder what the dollar amount stolen has been in that time frame and even more importantly the wasted time and energy. All could have been prevented. This is supposed to be a fun experience.

Edit: It looks like Alex answered my question on Pelican. Looks like the number is 2 MILLION Clams. That should be fun to collect.

Yes john Esposito filed for chapter 7 with over 2milion in liabilities and judgements. Real number when you include the company and daughter is higher.

Esposito defaulted in his chapter 7 bankruptcy. Too many shenanigans...
