in a comment made my Captain dated February 26th, 2008, Darius supposeably owns a honda, bimmer, legend and benz.

and it looks like Darius and Andre are brothers but i think he have different last names. So all and all after look at quite a few of their comments and just overall information on their myspace page there is no info or comment about a Billy J Smith. hope this helps.








1.Andre
2.Darius
3.Jonathan
4.Kahmal
5.Mike

and the comment

is there one in the "hot area"

Has anyone looked up Jonathan Turner on the resources you guys have? Does he even ACTUALLY exist. He might lie through his teeth. Note that if you read his comments they vary drastically in tone and composition from poor to outright savant.

Also note, that hes got a bunch of friends that he usually hangs out with -- persons of interest?

for now,

I remember when we were calling him out a while back, telling him to buy a new camera b/c his pics sucked he said he was going to buy a Leica D-Lux... Looks like Jonathan Turner has a Leica D-Lux...

It appears there a couple of points of contention/confusion:
1) It appears, from linking to the myspace pages, that the pics of "Billy" might actually be "Jonathan".
2) I think the posts about his promotion at Best Buy are a total red herring. The Best Buy lot was probably the most convenient place for this guy to take his pictures, but probably not his place of business. Since there are not a lot of picture-esque locations in Brockton, this is an logical place to take these pics. However, I bet if the cops were to question anyone in the car audio department, they could identify this guy as a regular customer.

I am a newbie here, but have some friends over at thenoiseboard.com who would vouche for me that, although occasionally annoying, I am usually sincerely willing to help.

Thanks,

However, the cameras could very well have been demo models in the store and the cars from legit owners in for stereo installs. The cars were taken around back, photographed with the demo cameras, and the pics used as props for the scammer. He probably never owned either a Jag or an MB, but the photos helped the scam. Likewise for a BMW or Lexus that was in - photo it and get on a board using the pics.

OTOH, my eyes are weary from reading through the posts and could have missed something relating to this.

Well, we have confirmation that he did indeed go to Bridgewater State College and that his name is Billy Smith.

I'm sure the school would LOVE to hear about what he has done.

Who's going to send the messages to the dean there?

http://www.patriotledger.com/news/ed...-State-College

He graduated just last Sunday.

Thanks for providing the info Patrick and JSBarks!

Greetings from Audiforums.com and Honda-acura.net.

Good to know that there are other resources available to assist the authorities with gathering evidence when it comes to idiots like this.

What amazes me even more is how he continues to dig that deeper grave.
If this ever happens to me I know where to go for help now.

MBWorld members: you guys rock

Just for that I'm going to look into financing a MB. lol

Hey, I'm new to this place after hearing about your investigations through an online gaming community.

Decided to have a look on Facebook for this Jonathan Turner guy...




Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the shirt he is wearing under his green jacket a Mac OSX shirt? This would link in with the working at an Apple store..

Sorry if this has been posted before and I've missed it. If not, hope this helps.

Phil, that Realtor license for Billy expired in 1990, which would make him early to mid-forties. Don't think it is the same Billy Smith.

I think I've read somewhere (in this thread maybe?) that his father goes by the same name which could be the explanation for that?
