Hi mate,

I'm Brazilian and i think i can help you. So, the number provided by the "supplier" is called CNPJ (Cadastro Nacional de Pessoa Jurídica - Corporate Taxpayer's Registry), is the same thing as VAT where you live. This is only a number, anyone can send you a number of a reliable company and speak to you as employer, owner or similar, it is not a guarantee.
This company called "BRASIF IMPORTAÇÃO E EXPORTAÇÃO" is really realiable, i did some research and it is based since 1998, it is really a big company, but i didn't find any reference of selling electronic goods, just food, beverage and other supermarkets related goods.
About the "MERCADO LIVRE", it is a auction site very popular here, is owned by eBay group. But his profile just have 9 feedbacks and is very young (01/04/2009) and his name have no mention of his suposed company, the location is a problem too, Guarapuáva is a small city in the Paraná state.
About the photos, they was token by different cameras and don't have any indication of his name on it. Sorry for the bad english, if you have any doubt about, please tell me.

Regards,
Luiz.
