WARNING: mic230coupe is a scammer
Beware of mic230coupe, he just ripped me off a good $550, not only does he not send me my command as promised, but now he's trying to sell it to another forum member.
Here is the original thread...
https://mbworld.org/forums/showthrea...hlight=command
He keeps telling me he has been sick and had a hard time shipping it out.
After emailing him 20 times asking for the tracking number, he sent me one, which shows now record when I tried seeing the status. He said the status will show once I recieve it??!??!
This is what he said when my friend PM'd him to ask if it's still available
This is the address I mailed my payment to (money order)

He's definitely scamming, onlun9 send him the money like 3 weeks ago after everything was agreed upon, it's gonna be cashed for sure. I pmed him last week and he replyed to me telling me that is was still availiable. what is up with that?
BTW my pm was just a test to see if this he was still around.
I don't care what happened, I don't care if it was a misunderstanding, send him back the money or send him the command.
mike, if your there, you better give us a pretty good explaination for this.

Call the Florida Police, get a detective to search for the Mike guy.
Did he leave you an account number to deposit the money into? or did you send him a money order?

he never sent me my brabus door pins either. He also gave me a bogus tracking number, and now claims he's working with USPS to get a refund of the money.
He told me his name was eric barlow

I work for the police...if he's done this to more then two of you then he's no amateur. I would bet he's done this s few times before.
Call his local police service, advised them of how he has done this to more then one person. This will make it more worth there time to invesigate because it shows a trail, and they will be able to prosecute.
Be polite to the coppers when you talk to them and get the message across that $550 is alot of money to you. Also, let them know how you don't want others being ripped off.
If you know of other people who have been ripped off then get their info's for when you call.
I hope you have some kind of paper trail for the money you sent?
All police Services are different so good luck with that...even if they just go to this idiots house, that could be helpful.
Good Luck

Brandon is a LARGE suburb of Tampa. They do not have a local PD. Call FDLE in Tallahassee or Hillsborough County Sheriff's Department. Or, fly yourself into Tampa Airport and go visit him.

Damnit !!!!! He did the same thing to me. $550.00 same address different tracking number. I just filed police report today. Anybody know if the bank insures an money order against this type of theft ? All involved should circle the wagons. Please pm to discuss a plan. Remember, he is checking our responces as we post them. Which reminds me.... Mike, you small time, **** eating little *****, 550 bucks doesn't mean **** to me, but I will spend $5000.00 to **** you over taking from me. Here I come *******.

I got scammed by mic230coupe as well, paid $50 first time for Brabus hood emblem. Sent me the hood standoff and pins without the actual emblem. Also paid $250 for climatronic and Brabus illuminated shift knob, and received nothing. I paid him about a month ago. He hasn't replied even though I told him I was going to call the police.

I haven't filed a police report yet, could you guys PM me info on who to contact to file the police report, especially a local FL police dept. Please keep me informed. I will cooperate with you guys (Respdoc and Onlun9) to try and bring him to justice. This is the info he gave me when I sent him the postal money orders.
