Wow, it looks like he has graduated to large scale (possible) counterfeiting / fraud.

If by "he" you mean Sam, then it looks like you're right. If you mean Joey, then there was never any proof that Joey and Sam were one in the same. Joey is from Washington State. Sam is from California.

They both went ballistic, acted the same and wouldn't give required info for this board's purposes when asked. Whether they were the exact same guy, which I am still 50-50 on, is of no consequence to me. The way they both acted WAS quite immature and I don't think they would have been positive contributors to our board. There is a reason we have had approximately $25 of total fraud (knock on wood) on our BST pages in over 7 yrs. Be careful over there, know your trading partner, ask for references....and that area is one of the safest on the internet to do business and trades. Caveat emptor as always. take care

Joey is quite capable of disguising the state from which he's operating. As David's link showed, the fellow who bought a fake Jordan from Joey thought he was dealing with an elderly man in Colorado (even spoke with him on the phone), when in actuality the man was acting as a front for Joey, who was in California.

Joey lives in Federal Way, Washington and his eBay user id is italianz31. This I know to be a fact. Sam1952 lives in Claifornia and his eBay user id is jasonchicas. This I also know to be a fact. Are they friends or related in some way? Who knows. But there was never any proof that the two were one in the same (or linked together in any way for that matter).

Besides, Joey is not smart enough to digsuise anything. I busted his alt twice on the SGC boards. The first time took 57 minutes from his initial post:

The second time only took me only 27 minutes from his intital post:

Joey Farino is a lot of things, but I don't think he is a scammer. Anybody that has ever dealt with him on this board, the CU boards or the PSA boards was dealt with honestly and received exactly what they paid for. If anybody has any proof otherwise, please show me.

This is good for the hobby. One more Michael Jordan rookie card available to all.

I dont think its very HONEST when you tell someone your grandmother died in order to cancel a sale or you contact a seller and ask for a partial refund because the card doesnt measure up to your grading standards. Too make a long story short there is a reason Joey/joeyf/jboog/italianz31/mantlefan81/sam52 is no longer allowed on the Net54, PSA or SGC boards.

I agree 100%. Anyone that refunded him money because it didn't measure up to his standards either overgraded the card them selves to get more $ and it finally bit them or is just plain silly. I would take a negative before I refunded anything. It's not gonna hurt your reputation because he is a thief/liar.

Still not right...I bought a few items from him. Actually paid the asking price for one item and about 2 hours after payment was sent he refunded the money saying it wasnt enough. He stated he needed more money because his grandmother had died and his girlfriend was pregnant. This was about 3 months before he told another board member about his grandmother dying...Which he could/would have more than one.
