I'm working on getting his address for you. Friend of a friend of a friend deal. There is also sites that you can go to that will tell you the billing address of his cell #.

319 area code puts him in Iowa City or Cedar Rapids (eastern side of the state). I know there are a few guys in the CR area that may be able to be of some assistance.

Social engineering. My guess is that anyone scamming people on a forum isn't the brightest bulb in the bunch.

well looks like mr brandon wants to stay out of jail so he e-mailed me and said he would send me my money back. It amazing what going to jail will do to someone and a call from a police officer. thanks ted

I guess it's my turn now. Sent him a Postal m.o. and got a song and dance routine. Time to see if he understands what a Postal m.o. implies. Guess he's never heard of the postmaster general and also doesn't realize that it's a FEDERAL OFFENSE when you commit postal fraud.
Run Brandon run!

Really it is only normal to make things right with whomever which is fine i understand that. As far as the guy above never even cashed your money order shredded it actually which is not a problem... anyways...
As i am Dealing with James and that is fine and almost over with which is great..Ted He is about done with as well...

I had all information saved on my lap top of people that bought parts from me. I have cash to refund those who did not get the parts or who would rather have the money. Allls i need is a email from you to brandon.gmacm@hotmail.com and i will respond and deal with you directly.

Once again this is to just make everything right and get those who want the parts the parts, and the cash back is not a problem.

Thanks...

i would like anyone to respond right away
