View Full Version : Anyone near Lawrence KS?
SG_M3 08-09-2006, 12:37 PM UPDATE: Still looking for him..
I need some help from someone near Lawrence. I paid for an m50 motor about 2 months ago. The seller has been coming up with some excusses that his paypal account was locked. I said, I just want my money back.
I have his name and number, if anyone would like to help me out. Maybe visit him for me. I'll gladly reward anyone who helps.
Edit: I'm looking for Brandon Groce of Lawerence and now:
Jermey Spurlock
654 Doe Path Lane
Linn Valley, KS 66040
powellsd 08-09-2006, 02:59 PM sorry about the money part. why dont you file a claim against him if you paid him via paypal. also if you are in need of another m50 engine i know a guy here in town that might have one soon
SG_M3 08-09-2006, 03:05 PM I didn't send him the money via paypal. I sent him a cashiers check, he then for some reason put it in a paypal linked account. Paypal then locked the account. None of that is reallly my problem.
I just want my money back.
Seeker 08-09-2006, 03:45 PM Sounds like a bunch of BS to me.
Paypal can't keep him from his own bank acct. that I know of.
Crittias 08-09-2006, 09:25 PM I live in Lawrence. PM me, and if I can help, I will.
Eric BMW 08-09-2006, 09:35 PM Paypal is such a bitch, they locked my account before and it was a giant pain in the ass. He has his money, my wodners are why you dont have the motor yet. He can get it unlocked whenever he gets off his lazy ass. Hopefully Crittias can help you out.

Paypal locked your bank acct.?
I thought they could only lock the money in the PayPal acct.
assoutE12 08-10-2006, 12:33 AM I live in lawrence, I might be able to contact the seller for you. PM me if your interested.
Iding SIII 08-10-2006, 04:50 AM Please PM me ALL details about the seller. If anyone is working on a BMW or has parts around Lawrence, I should know who they are. I'll see what I can do!
GKGreen 08-10-2006, 04:33 PM Yeah, I'll be willing to help ya if you need it. Sorry you got scammed man.
SG_M3 08-10-2006, 04:56 PM I PM'd those who offered to help.
His name is Brandon Groce, if you know him or have a way to contact him please tell him to just send my money back.

At least that isn't our Brandon.
Best of luck on getting this resolved man.

If you run into dead ends, PM me his info and I'll round up the OMGWTFBBQ gang and we'll pay him a visit.
Our numbers are growing strong at about on average. 16 ppl. attending the meets. We can make a special stop just for him. :evil2
But really.. WTF man.. he shoulda just sent the engine to you. His problems shouldnt be your problems.
Keep us updated.
SG_M3 08-10-2006, 06:14 PM I totally agree Seeker. A couple of weeks ago we agreed just to send my money back. I don't really need the motor anymore, so I just want my money.
If any of you guys could spread the word and get him to email me back or just send me my money.

If you get a chance PM me again. I didn't recieve one:help
FitzRoger 08-13-2006, 06:31 PM It's too bad this kind of thing happens. Hopefully it will all be sorted out without conflict. I like being able to trust others on this board, as well as be trusted. This only erodes this confidence.

I know where Brandon lives and how much money did you pay him he owes me money too. Let me know i am going to take the tow truck down there and take his car if he does not pay me. So just let me know and i might be able to help out on this one.

RagnarDanskjold 08-14-2006, 12:01 AM Blane's (Seeker) right.
We've got numbers, leverage and mass. I used to go to KU and I'm the big 6' 7" mongolian hessian in the BBQ photos. Persuasion is one of my specialties.
Giggity giggity giggity.

He's not even responding to me now. He owe's me 1k, and while not a lot of money its enough to make it worth my while to get it back. Trying the friendly route now, if not things will change.
Seeker 08-14-2006, 09:11 AM Does this person have a screenname on bfc?
If so, I think it's time to call him out here by posting a rant in the classifieds.
Others need to know to avoid him.
When I was getting d!cked around by a member over $140 not being returned to me, that's what I did and he returned my money before it got REAL ugly. I also promised if he returned my money, that I'd have the mods delete the negatory thread about him, which I did.
Making physical threats are not only illegal :nono, but unnecessary. Simply being the biggest PITA to people who owe you money is usually a very good motivator. And there are MANY ways to be a PITA to someone who is not upholding their responsibilities to you.
STL Avus M3 08-14-2006, 12:27 PM Damn that sucks. I wish I could help in the persuassion but KS is a pretty far drive from me.
Sounds like the KC crew can get things worked out for you though.
Good luck.

Yeah you mean 100$ right or 1000$? He is trying to open a shop with his buddy were they live to start putting turbo's on cars. I would not trust this guy as far as i could toss him. He is a sneeky guy and lives in his buddies shop. He has a bedroom in the rafters and is really a bum. I hear that he now works at the Encore Place in Olathe and i am going to go over there as soon as i get time and see if i can see his car outside and then if i do i am going to go inside and ask to talk to him. I am going to get his phone number soon so i will give that a try too.

feel free to call me @ 816-518-6335 with any questions
thats the number he posted
SG_M3 08-16-2006, 01:59 AM He owes me $1,000.
I want to thank everyone for helping. Apparently something has happened to Brandon, and his friend is working very hard to pay me back. This is not over, but it is coming closer.
he told me he was working at UPS.
Black, look for a thread in the FS section of e30tech, there is a post by his friend selling stuff off. Contact him, and see about getting your money back.

I would not hold you breath he had said that to me along time ago and i have yet to see the money he owes me.
Seeker 08-16-2006, 11:16 PM I bet if we threw him in Steve's kitty cage, he'd be more willing to pay up...
we'd rub him down real good with some awesome KCBBQ first though to make sure the kitty was interested in him...

The boys like their meat raw and putting up a fight.

He was taking over for brandon, after something happened to brandon. If you know either of them please have them contact me. I will be collecting on this and I will make it worth your while if you help me.

Black90325i 10-17-2006, 01:00 PM Pm'd SG_M3
SG_M3 02-11-2007, 10:56 PM ok, so Brandon and I had made a deal where he was sending me payments. We made it 3 payments and then nothing has been showing up. So, i'm done playing. I want my money and will make it worth someones while if they get it back for me.
Brandon Groce
654 doe path lane
la cygne ks
Thats his last known address. None of the phone numbers I have for him work anymore. So if anyone can get me a number or pay him a visit, i would greatly appreciate it.
abracc 02-12-2007, 10:22 PM La Cygne is close to Olathe and Kansas City, so if you want to widen your request are, feel free to include folks in those areas too....

It has a nice ring to it...
assoutE12 07-27-2007, 10:13 AM I'm going to be gone next week :(

No way! I'm not goin to jail for someone else's money.
SVORLY 07-27-2007, 02:42 PM No way! I'm not goin to jail for someone else's money.
I'll need you in jail to protect me with your MMA skills. :ninja
In all seriousness though, I wasn't suggesting anything other than a reminder that he still owes SG_M3 money. I'm not talking about jumping him or anything.
Rockstardj 08-18-2007, 03:10 AM my godparents are italian....and im mexican, would love a drive down to Lawrence with the group too : )
RobbyRotten 09-14-2007, 02:04 PM Did anything ever happen with this? I just now saw the thread and it's been almost a month since the last post???
