ORIGINAL EMAIL OF OCT 17, 2006

Hello Todd,

I received a returned check from my bank that was payment for services rendered for MVA 360. The check

# is 1354. WHY? I also have another check that I just received from you. Will I get it back as well? I have two jobs that you sent me in the past few days. What do I do? Please let me know ASAP.

Sincerely,

BWT

Hey Brad,

I was not aware we had any problems with our bank. We have never had any payroll checks get returned and I am very sorry for the problem on this one. I am not sure what happened, but I can promise you if you deposit the current check there will be no problems. You may ether redeposit the check that was returned or I can send you another, which ever you perfer. Please let me know what you want to do and I will take care of it and please do accept my apologies. I am sure with it only being a 40.00 check, that it must have been a bank error. We have a overdraft protection so even if the funds were not there, the check still should have cleared. Also, let me know you bank charges and I will take care of that for you.

Thank You

Todd Hill

NO CHECK YET - MY NEXT EMAIL OF DECEMBER 14, 2006

Todd Hill,

I just thought I would let you know that I will be

posting the following on my website in 24 hours unless

I have a money order in my hand by that time. I will

also make sure that it is in every search engine

online so that anytime anyone looks for MVA 360 this

anouncement will appear.

Sincerely,

BWT

Post that and I will make sure you do not get paid. I have explained to you time and time that our business has dropped over 75% in the past 2 months becuase of the holiday season. I have all intentions in paying you for your last work. But I assure you, post your message and I will personly make sure you are not paid for any tours. If you do not post the message, I will make sure a money order is received to you by Friday Dec 22nd. If that does not work for you, then post your message and get no pay.

Thank You

Todd Hill

MY REPLY

Todd,

I thought that would get your attention.

As far as I am concerned your promise to pay so far is

bogus over and over again you have promised and

nothing. You have broken our contract and agreement

that you made when I started. My trust in you to ever

pay me is very small.

You got paid by the Realtors and you spent it on

yourself. How selfish. You should have saved MY

MONEY in a separate account so you would have it when

payroll was due. That is the way I run my business

... I am the last one to get paid.

I think all photographers that might work for you

should know how you might treat them.

I think I have been reasonable in waiting as long as I

have.

You have one last chance ... I will wait until

December 22, 2006. If I don't get paid by December

22, 2006 with a US Postal Money Order I will post it

and then you will have to deal with your problem that

you have created.

Again, if you do not pay by December 22, 2006 ... I

WILL POST IT AND YOU CAN DEAL WITH IT ANY WAY YOU

WANT.

The DA will deal with you as well.

BWT

HIS REPLY

You will have a money order to you by the date I promised.

Thank You

Todd,

If you wish to use pay pal to pay me you should

include another $7.50 as their processing fee so that

the payment to me will be $170.00 total that I will

receive. There is no reason why I should have to pay

to get my money ... I think I have paid with my

patience up to now. Hello,

My paypal account is xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

FYI..... Today is December 21, 2006.

HIS REPLY ON DECEMBER 22, 2006

MY REPLY ON DECEMBER 29, 2006 AFTER NOT BEING PAID AS PROMISSED

Todd,

I did expect to get paid even after all of your other

promisses. I even gave you one last chance for

December 22, 2006 and you didn't deliver again. I

have done everything that you wanted ... the work, the

delivery, the invoice .... waiting .... waiting and

more waiting and still no pay.

You leave me no choice. If I do not have money from

you in the amount of $177.50 in my paypal account by

12-30-06 at 5:00pm, I will post your emails and my

email replies with all of your promisses that you made

to me on my website. I will make sure all of the

search engines have access to the information. I will

personally enjoy the satisfaction that all other

photographers that may think about working for you

will be warned that you are a lier, cheat, theif and

your word is worthless.

Sincerely,

Brad W. Townsend

WELL GUESS WHAT AS OF TODAY JANUARY, 20,2007 HE DOES NOT RETURN PHONE CALLS AND I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED A CHECK ... I WILL BE CONTACTING THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY ABOUT THIS FRAUD IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.
