through r2r you can look at his posts including things he purchased, I am reaching out to people he purchased from to try an obtain the name and shipping address he used. I know he is located in Hilton Head South Carolina as per a "Welcome to R2R" thread he participated in. Within the last two days he deleted all his social media to include Instagram and his youtube channel, however a quick google images search of "Bransreeftv" will yield images of his face and youtube click bait titles.
 
If you get the police involved...they could subpoena the IP address of the user from the forum staff (considering the forum technology of this one) and find/charge the real person behind the forum account.

People think there's a lot of anonymity...but that's only partly true in cases like this.

This would be a backup in case your Venmo/PayPal dispute doesn't work out.

No need for a subpoena I will help you track them down. I have IP addresses a email and now I found out what looks to be a criminal record from South Carolina. @Bransreeftv I think we know who you are and you better start returning money NOW!!!!

I will gladly hand over all information to the Hilton Head Police or other law enforcement.

BTW pretty sure this is a female. According to police records.

Thank you, It is the Beaufort County Sheriffs Department that has jurisdiction in Hilton Head as they do not have their own Municipal Police. Is there any way you could send me whatever information you have? I was planning on compiling all the information I could obtain and contacting the aforementioned Sheriffs Department.
 
I have the address associated with the IP
Can you PM me that? I am hoping some of the sellers he purchased from get back to me with the name and address he used and it matches up to whatever information you have, also if you're able please message me his IP as well.
 
We are going to wait to see if this member will send refunds. We do need everyone who has been scammed to post in here with proof of purchase. @Benpastw if you could compile the list that would be great. If there is no resolution we will forward what info we have to the local PD.
 
I messaged the three other people I know of who were also scammed by @Bransreeftv...if anyone else was involved that I don’t know of please post on this thread the proof of purchase so we can keep it all together in one spot.
 
I don't think legally they can say so. At least I wouldn't in a forum. As currently everyone seems to be besmirching this persons name, I understand and agree with what every one is doing even if said person has a criminal record, it can be brought up if they wanted as slander and could possibly sue R2R for defamation of character. Specially if the full name is given out on the internet. As anyone can do a search and ruin this persons life. So i recommend not doing so as a CYA.....my .02

it’s 100% legal. slander does not apply in this situation, it would be libel and defamation would not be valid either. all of which are based on lies. the reasonable expectation of privacy does not extent to one’s name.
 
It's a real shame to hear what some of you are having to go through... I hope this helps, it appears some of his YouTube videos had been sponsored by AlgaeBarn as their logo was stamped on several of his video thumbnails. Perhaps it's worth a shot in reaching out to AlgaeBarn for any information they may have.
 
Oh man I’m sorry to hear about Venmo. Did they said they couldn’t help because it was sent friends and family? Like someone else has said, you can still recover it through making a claim and contacting police.

A friend of mine bought some motorcycle parts online that were never sent, and he sent the money friends and family, but was able to get the money back. I’ll ask him what exactly he did to get it back, and I’ll post it here.

If anything they're another subpoena.
 
THIS IS SOOO FOUL!!!! Sucks for the victims. Hope everybody that got scammed gets their money back and the scammer gets what he/she deserves!
