Someone mentioned earlier in this thread that Brian has two ebay IDs: cardsbysgc AND osocards

There must be some kind of mistake -

In the following auction CARDSBYSGC was the seller and OSOCARDS was the winner:

So Brian comes on and asks Matt to email him...not Mike, Matt...

Brian....what happened? Maybe a little explanation?

Umm...a quick google search lets me see that Brian Crotts ripped off Coaches Corner (funny in itself) but it also provides that he lives fairly near me...so, the local police to contact for Brian is

Mission Hills Police Department
818-838-9800

They have been very helpful in the past.

that he was bidding over at CC, or that he stiffed them. Thanks for the heads-up Josh:

No mistake at all.

Josh - I'm assuming Brian got Mike and I confused. I couldn't possibly imagine what he'd want from me.

I understand the frustration and for me it is dissapointing because as a newcomer to the Forum and BST (buying and selling) it sucks to think I will be avoided for being new because some loser ran some scams.

Secret Santa was never sent, the 'Mike' is a different Mike (actually the persons name is Matt) (not the Mike here) thus his confusion here asking 'Matt' to email him, he must be stuck
on that mistake he made the other night over at CU when he told 'Mike' he would return the
100.00 he received from him.

lets see, oh the baseballs, hurt no one huh? I think the runner up to that

auction would disagree with you.



This guy is about the dumbest person I have ever encountered in the hobby

even dumber then Dr. Koos.

Dear All,

Brian emailed me early this morning and asked for my address in order to send a money order refund for the full amount. He claims it will be sent this Friday (not sure why he's not sending it immediately). If I don't have payment in hand, I will use Josh's information and contact the local police--thank you, Josh, for that information.

Eric--I do hope that you will stay on the Board and use the B/S/T. As Tim said yesterday, it's still the safest place to make card transactions.

Thank you all, once again, for your support and the information you have provided. As soon as I've received restitution, I'll post it on the Board.

Cheers,
Mike

Good luck with that, his word is meaningless.

Mike Did he explain what happened or even apoligized?
And why didn't he contact you after he realized he took
money from you for an item he no longer had available, and
apparently contacted you only after this situation was posted.

Hi Jay,
Thank you for your concern. I have no idea why he did this, but I now know my options (thanks to two board members) for bringing this to the attention of local police in California where Brian lives, as well a policing agency dedicated to electronic fraud. I am told that if he doesn't make restitution, the latter organization will make life hell for him since what he did is clearly a serious matter.

I might add, too, that if anyone is interested, I will gladly share what I know about seeking restitution in a situation like this. I hope it doesn't happen again, but one never knows.

Cheers,
Mike
