It's possible his paypal account is in the negative, and any money he receives will will only go to cover that deficit... and that could be why he needs rcspur to pay Houdini directly.

How does one get desperate enough to basically go broke by buying into group breaks, lol. I know it's gambling, but how TF can you hit the proverbial jackpot in baseball cards?

Classic thread that showcased how addicted some people are to group breaks and will do anything to keep chasing the dragon.

Just as an update, he decided not to pay and declined responding to my last message.

I am going to make this thread a sticky.

Remember, if you scam this forum, your picture is stickied in a scammer thread.

His Instagram hasn't been updated in a year. Maybe he owes them money too.

It looks like Jordan Patrick is a cop and I would assume ben grochot is his brother... so jordan patrick grochot would = jpg - which is the account scammer ben grochot created to scam others.

How much of a pos do you have to be to take your brother's identity and scam and risk his career in law enforcement?

EDIT: He is not a cop. It is from a TV show. So, um, nevermind that cop stuff. haha

I just wanted to say houdini doesn't just do this to people who have scammed him he also will go hard at anyone who tries to scam people. I just had an experience with a user not mailing my part of a trade. After plenty of attempts on my own I sent a message to houdini asking for help. Help is in understatement. I got my card and the user whom it took getting suspended to complete our deal is now a known attempted scammer. Houdini is the man. Thank you again.

Oh, haha. I don't know that show.

True story, I was looking at his pinterest last night and the dude is pretty funny. I like his sense of humor. Too bad his brother is a scumbag.

I started watching Rookie Blue at some point just because Missy Peregrym was on it. I'll tell you what...she's a lot of fun to look at. The show ended up growing on me as well.
