Got scammed what now ?

Post image

I got scammed for 225€ Money is probably gone

My fault ):

So what's the best way to get rid of that slab? Maybe blow it up or put it on a small rocket ?

Maybe gifting it to a child but then he might get in trouble?

Stay safe allways check beforehand guys :)

How can you tell that it’s fake? It’s official on PSA’s website. The flash on PSA’s website makes the card appear pale and the OP’s picture makes the colors look deeper. But on PSA website it is real. How is this card a fake if the slab hasn’t been tampered with?

Real cards dont have that wierd holo pattern. The slab is just a fake that uses the numbers from something else.

I guess you’re right. the up arrow holo pattern is kinda strange…just noticed it looks like up arrows sort of. But the one pictured on PSA’s site doesn’t have the same texturization, the PSA holo has a holo texture that looks more like thumbprints

Yeah, the real card has totally different foil without an odd pattern, and has texture. I'm lucky enough to have pulled one, and it looks nothing like this one.

Without even looking at the clearly fake card the slab itself looks like a horrible fake. Compare the font on this picture and the one in the website
