There is already a warning out on this guy that I did not see until after this happened. I dont want anyone second guessing my intentions, so I documented everything for this post. I apologize for the long read, but I want everyone to be carefull dealing with this guy.

Here is timeline breakdown of how things have gone down:

8/2/11 - Spoke with Brad Biddle (BradB31) on the phone and agreed to purchase the bow. I sent Paypal immediately, and he was to have his wife mail the bow the next morning. He said possibly overnight, but I would definitely have it by Friday (8/5/11)
8/3/11 - Text messages exchanged with Brad Biddle asking if it was shipped and for a tracking number. He said wife did ship it and he would get me the tracking the next day when he spoke with his wife.

This guy says he is working on a hunting TV show, and he has a website with sponsors. I will be emailing this to every sponsor on his website, as well as filing a police report. I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt, but it has gone too far.

I would strongly suggest you DO NOT do business with:
Brad Biddle of Xtreme Brothers Outdoors
BradB31 on this forum

You gave him plenty of opportunity...maybe too much. Sad day when people do others like this. Hope you get it worked out or get your money back from PayPal.

Thanks for posting this to let us know. Good luck and hope it all works out.

You also must haved missed the thread where he was looking to film more "hunts" for their show, on the green screen. Kinda like he did Mike on here

Can't believe you are still dealing with this idiot. Sounds like he needs a personal visit.

Man thats total BS!! Dude needs a neck punch in a bad way.




What is "green screen"?

Thamks for the heads up .

Wasn't this the group that stole the bino on a hunt?

Same bunch of turds dgilbert......

a bad apple in every bunch....as long as we all let each other know who the bad apples are, we all stand a chance of having a good tasting THF pie...(MAN THAT WAS CORNY)...

Thanks for the heads up anyway.

I can invite him out to Afghanistan for a hunt. I doubt he will setal anything from us.

That's mighty nice of you DOC

Why I hate buying stuff off the internet. Fortunately the only thing I have bought off of here the seller said you have a good post history and have been a member longer than me, I will send you the merchandise and when you get it mail me a cashiers check. I asked him to let me know when he got the check so I would know all was good, I got the stuff and mailed the check, but he never let me know... so I dont know he got it but guess he did.

And NOT BACKING THIS GUY UP AT ALL but the postal system has... alot to be desired!

Sorry for your trouble and frustration.

matt

Bino? Stole a set of binoculars?


I have been curious if there were ever folks that tried to pass themselves off as show producers to try to scam a hunt. Were they doing that?

Update: Just received a call from Brad. He said he is going to personally bring me my money AND the bow on Monday or Tuesday.

Maybe this will all be done with soon.

Send him this and tell him if he doesn't show up with the bow or your money your next call will be to the Feds.

So now he is just going to give you the bow? Fo free?

Man THF word spreads fast!!! Better than any law on the books.

p.s. giving out sponsor product to cover his arse huhh. least your taken care of.

And you believe that after all his lies? Hope it works out but don't be disappointed if he's a no-show!

Wow, just wow.

Does this guy really have sponsors? This is unbelievable how some people conduct their business.

So you have 17 lies written down, and you believe him this time?

Good luck man but I wouldnt hold my breath!

Man that story is just crazy. Hope you get SOMETHING out of this ordeal.
