Mark Greenleaf Knives of America Stole $378.25 Winter Park, Florida

Bran Aldridge has sent you the following message:

Status request for order #529768769528505: 
Once again I am requesting information on my order. You told me it would ship in 3-5 days. Allowing for that time and a long five days for shipping, I should have my order by now. Where is it? I will give you 24 hours to contact me before I launch a fraud complaint with Gunbroker.com. If you were mistaken and the item was not in stock just let me know. You have my money and I can't even get a reply from you. That is a very poor way to do business.

Replies to this email will be sent directly to Bran Aldridge.

You can't deny the truth.  How about this one:

hey slight problem just got home and the vendor shiped your knife to me they were to send it  to you they screwed up i will send it back out to you tomorrow sorry about that

thanks mark

If I am lying why did you send me this email telling me that there was an error in shipping?  You are a FRAUD.  I see on the Orlando Sentinel website that you are having legal problems because of people suing you.  If my $378.25 was worth it I would sue you as well, but it would cost me more than you are worth to do that.  So I will continue to malign your pitiful reputation.

What about this where you acknowledge the Gunbroker transaction:

man im sorry i sold 2 of these knives on gunbroker and both of you are 

bran/brian i was telling the wrong thing to both of you got it backwards i 

will have yours sent back out to you for delivery this week i totaly got the 

2 orders backwards my fault i will include a free work otf knife with yours 

for the troubles in very sorry for the mix up

thanks, mark

Bran Aldridge 1 you Auction # 125322538  MICROTECH MAKORA II DLC/PS 4.25"

Brian Mattonen 2 Auction # 127967327 MICROTECH MAKORA II DLC/PL 4.25"

Then you tell me it was defective:

brian sorry about this the item had a defective spring sent back to microtech 2 new ones were shipped to me will arrive to me by the 17th if you do not get yours by 20th i will refund your money sorry about all of this when i went to ship yours i inspect knives before i do this is why i do that yours was mis firing.

thanks mark

Then you lie here and tell me you talked with Microtech:

ok no problem yes i know its seems crazy but i had 3 customers get with me about the makora mt miss firing and yes i checked yours out when i got it back and it would mis fire on 3 or 4th try i contacted microtech they told me just return them for a new one thats what i did these are lifetime warranty when i send out new one i will send it without checking it you can do that on this one that way if there is any more issues at least you got it and we can go from there.

thanks, mark

The problem is you are not and never have been an authorized Microtech dealer

How about this:

bran i understand you think im stealing from you but not true i have had 

problems geeting items from microtech and also just got out of the hospital 

all orders will be cleared up within the next 10 days that mean you and all 

others i truly was not out to have this kind of transactions i realy am not 

out to rip people off may look like that but not true you will see it will 

be fixed very soon

thanks mark

Mark...do you need anything else?  I have 32 email between the two of us...and you say I am making this up.  You are a LIAR and a FRAUD.

Am I ever going to get a refund or my knife?  I doubt it.
