He paid me in full via Paypal. So him and I are square. He told me he wasn't going to be able to get me my second half until he settled up with you guys at IE. So I wrongfully assumed you guys had it worked out once I received the full reimbursement. Here is the info that I was able to gather on Bobby: His paypal name and address: Gaoqing Yang 2907 harrison st Oakland, CA 94611 United States Same shipping address that many of us have on file but with a different first name that I have never seen him use. When I first looked up Bobby Yang on Facebook I could not find him anywhere. Once I received the first half of the payment through paypal I just up Gaoqing Yang and found a "Bobby Yang" from San Francisco in the Facebook search engine. In the profile Bobby seems young, like 20 something. There is no real way to tell if this is him or not...but I did a little digging around his profile page and found another name he goes by: 杨高勍 they are Chinese characters, and when they are typed into google translate you get this: Yánggāoqíng That is his full name in Chinese translation and it puts the last name first and the first name last...flip them and you have the name on the paypal address gāoqíng Yáng That really makes me think this is our guy. This is all speculative but it seems like too much of a coincidence to be untrue. Maybe we can cross reference the photos in the profile with Erich Horat? Since he seems to be the only one in the community to have met him face to face. Not sure how this all will help you get paid but the more info we share the better off we are, right?? Here is the facebook profile link: https://www.facebook.com/bobsterdyang I will take the case number just in case any problems flare up in the future and to add it to my folder of evidence but I am happy now that he has paid me in full. (not happy he hasn't paid you guys). I have all my transaction details saved in a folder along with the reimbursement payments. If you need any of these documents I will be happy to provide them to you. I can also send you transcripts of my personal messages with "bobby". Let me know if you need any more help with this and good luck, I am hoping you get this sorted out. Regards, Chris 02bumpers

@Ireland Engineering Thank you for all of that information, it really is helpful. Not sure what is going on, but it sure does seem to have some funk about it.

Update: The co owner of the car (now the sole owner?) contacted me he paid half of the cost today and said he will have the rest of the bumper order paid for by August 10th. He seems willing to settle this whole thing with me once he completes the payment for the IE order. I am hopeful we will get all this squared away.

Erich was extremely helpful. He seems like a very honest dude.

How did you get in touch with Bobby? Through the FAQ? or does he have a working email address/phone number? Thanks in advance. -Chris

Bobby Yang had placed an order for $1.7k on my website 02bumpers.com on July 10th, 2018. The order was paid for in full and I shipped the entire order on 07/11/2018. I shipped all product to the above stated address. Yesterday I received a phone call from Benchmark Steel in Hollister saying they had a fraudulent charge on their credit card through my website. It matched Bobby Yangs order... He used Benchmark Steel's billing address with his name on top. He used this shipping address: Erich Horat 2907 Harrison St Oakland, California, United States 94611 I contacted Erich who owns Precision Motors in Oakland (addresses don't match) and he said he had Bobby's car in his shop for a while. He made it very clear that Bobby was a fraud and has an immense distaste for him. He seems to be the only one who has met Bobby face to face, for what it's worth. The credit card company has reversed the charge. Bobby already has the parts which include: Full wrap around bumper set, extra pair of front overriders, extra front seam covers, extra rear seam covers. I need @glyif pay for the product he purchased in full. I haven't gone to the police yet and I am hoping to resolve this before I have to do so. Please help! I am just stating all of this for the record. Best regards, Chris Broemmelsiek Owner at 02bumpers.com
