    Brian- wonder if he was the same guy that went by the name "Toni Toscana". He claimed to have a card shop in Pisa and London, and had lots of vintage cards. Problem is those cards were all owned by various dealers and he had just stolen the scans. He used a bogus company called Pegasus shipping that showed airbills and tracking, but of course there was no such package. And eventually it turned out "Toni" was some guy in Southern Ohio.
    This sounds a lot like the same guy.

    Always looking for Topps Salesman Samples, pre '51 unopened packs, E90-2, E91a, N690 Kalamazoo Bats, and T204 Square Frame Ramly's

  • Based on the poor grammar I immediately though of "Gary". I'm not sure how Gary would get my cash sent back to him from Portugal though.
