Posted By: <b>J Levine</b><p>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<br><br>Mission Hills Police Department<br>818-838-9800<br><br>They have been very helpful in the past.<br><br>Joshua

Posted By: <b>Matt</b><p>Josh - I'm assuming Brian got Mike and I confused. I couldn't possibly imagine what he'd want from me.<br><br><p><br><br><br><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/mwieder/ForTradeSale" rel="nofollow">My Trade/Sale Page</a></p>

Posted By: <b>Eric S.</b><p>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. <br><br>

Posted By: <b>Steve</b><p>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<br>on that mistake he made the other night over at CU when he told 'Mike' he would return the <br>100.00 he received from him.<br><br>lets see, oh the baseballs, hurt no one huh? I think the runner up to that<br><br>auction would disagree with you.<br><br><br><br>This guy is about the dumbest person I have ever encountered in the hobby<br><br>even dumber then Dr. Koos.<br><br><br><br><br><br>Steve<br><br><br><br>

Posted By: <b>Mike Peich</b><p>Dear All,<br><br>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.<br><br>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.<br><br>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.<br><br>Cheers,<br>Mike

Posted By: <b>jay wolt</b><p>Mike Did he explain what happened or even apoligized?<br>And why didn't he contact you after he realized he took <br>money from you for an item he no longer had available, and<br>apparently contacted you only after this situation was posted.

Posted By: <b>Mike Peich</b><p>Hi Jay,<br>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.<br><br>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.<br><br>Cheers,<br>Mike
