HOW DID I FALL FOR THIS SPORTS CARDS SCAM?! *SELLER DELETES ACCOUNT!

Рет қаралды 26,101

Күн бұрын

I purchased a lot of sports cards on Facebook Marketplace because there was a Kobe Bryant Topps Finest Heirs Refractor in the very corner of one of the photos in the listing. I reached out to the seller asking if it was real and he confirmed that it was and there was a small indention on the card but it was in otherwise good condition. If all were true the card would still be worth $2,000-$4,000 and why I was so excited to share with you all…But, then I opened the box and realized I got SCAMMED by this seller on Facebook Marketplace. I hope you all enjoy my experience getting lied to and scammed!

"I got duped" but more than happy to pay someone only 5-10% of potential value if the deal was legit.

@williambourque926 11 ай бұрын

It's only fine if you are the one doing the finagling. The same logic takes place in video game collecting as well: people are dirty resellers for wanting proper value for something, but if you get it for super cheap then its perfectly fine and good on you. I agree that it is hypocritical.

Can't believe you tried to sneak him for a 4K Kobe card, then messaged him afterwards.

@LoreOrr Жыл бұрын

So you thought you were legit gonna get a several thousand dollar Kobe card ? It was an easy to spot scam from the start and the person that scammed you is wrong but also if it went the way that it was legit and the seller was an honest person you were more than comfortable paying $200 for it 🤔

@jeffjones8866 Жыл бұрын

If it was real and graded a psa 8 probably worth about 800-1000 not several thousands but I get the point.

Ignorance is to blame both ways just one is illegal! I paid comps on a Chris Paul rc auto because I wanted it and the card was hard to find! I looked to see if there was any fakes of the card in Google and had him send several pics and coined pics! I was in formed and still got a facimilie card!

Several red flags before you even completed the deal, the deal seemed too good to be true + the phrase commonly used by scammers "should be in there". Asking for photos wouldn't do much as he would of probably just found some online and used those to trick you. Sometimes you have to take the risk and drive a couple hours to see for yourself.

The moment he mentioned grading in the text it would have raised major red flags with me.
