I've got a deal lined up with a guy named Scott Cullun, at a PO Box in San
Antonio. Maybe I'm being paranoid, but the phonetic simularities between
the names are uncanny. I can't find a Scott Cullun in the San Antonio phone
book, so I'm feeling suspicious.
Can anybody vouch for this guy?
I'm not making any accusations, just trying to clear the air - I'm kind of
scared to deal with anyone in San Antonio right now, which is another reason
for the San Antonio IDMers to pay Jason a visit to straighten him out.
BTW, there's a Gene O Mccollum at 501 Paseo Canada St, San Antonio, TX
78232-1112, (210) 496-1547
Perhaps this is Jason's parental unit. I suggest the aggrieved parties call
repeatedly in the middle of the night until they get satisfaction.
Thanks
