I got scammed

I’l ll be the first to say it. I’m one of the people who has recently bought back in with the hype. Cards have been sold out everywhere, so I got really excited when a marketplace listing for Fusion strike packs. I’m a college student and don’t have any crazy disposable income, so this was like treating myself. I thought I negotiated down 9 packs for $65 and got a steal. Well it turns out, what do you know these packs were fake. Surprise surprise, no hits, not even a holo or reverse.

But generally I’ve never had a bad experience with marketplace and am a trusting person. Welp I got scammed, if I even knew how to look for it I would have been able to tell they were obviously re-sealed from the bottom. This just sucks. He had me use Zelle too, which surprise doesn’t have transaction protection.

TLDR: Don’t buy packs from marketplace, if you do be smart, there are scummy people out there.
