I did talk to Joe last week, the owner of the new Erick forgeries, and while I had hoped he would talk to Roger so he could tell him what he had, he didn't want to do that, because someone at JSA/FL had already authenticated them, they also told him he had hit the "Jackpot"--according to him. (I have only seen 2 of the JSA approvals but they look legit. so I do believe him). I also gave him Steves phone number, as Steve said I could do that too. Before we ended our convo, he did ask me "I suppose this isn't legit either"
"Its on the back of this!!"
I don't respond to its authenticity, as I only see a flash of it in a thumbnail, but once I open it after our discussion, its in the same style that
Erick sold on eBay this year that PSA said they wouldn't authenticate... and it was sent back to Erick... its where I finally obtained his home address (a forum member had bought it). Erick did fight against the return (it was 1000 worth of bad merch)--but eBay sided with the buyer and refunded him.
Once Joe and I end our convo, I take a quick peek at his FB just so see if I can figure out who suckered him...(for the record, I applaud Joe and what his intentions were for this merchandise, which was going to be sold to help him fund his work in helping people recover from drug addiction) and within a minute or two, I spot an MJ "signed" pillowcase that Joe owns not very far down in his pics, and a person named
Miguel Jackson asks him if he owns it, and compliments it (this person used the same MJ photo as Erick has on one of his past FB accounts) I click on Miguel's' profile and there in his pics on the home page of his FB, was the back stage pass.
Down further I see this:
Thalia and Michael Jackson.
Cuando Michael y Tommy enemistaron, Thalia , tuvo que decir adiós a una gran cantidad de objetos de interés que el propio Michael era un regalo.
Translation:
When Michael and Tommy fell out, Thalia, had to say goodbye to a lot of memorabilia that Michael himself was a gift.
And his profile about page is:
As soon as I spotted Erick's new profile (after grabbing the screen shots) - I added him as a friend--cuz he KNOWS who I am--and I wanted it known it took me one day to find him. Of course he removed the backside pic of the backstage pass right away-- as well as the Thalia photo. These were pics that had been up on his page for a very long time, and now those two pics disappear right after I hit him up. How co-inky dink. The rest of his pics remain untouched (the front is still there).
I did text him (FB) after I saw he removed the pics and sent him just a pic of the back side--- it took him 35 minutes after "seeing it" to finally say.... he doesn't speak
Englais (I had predicted this in an email I sent to Ema). Everything is in Spanish on his page, but we also know Erick is of the same decent--and also has Spanish all over his own FB page. I then told him Joe had also sent me a pic of the backstage pass too.... I then just blocked him because to be honest, he just irritates me too much.
Oh and one last thing, Erick sent Joe all the normal things the forgers do here on our forum once they are busted... as soon as Joe asked him about the items, all those "truthful" (that's sarcasm Joe in case your reading) dirt on Steve and Roger was spewed, and he was told to go read Ripoff report. Ema and I got pushed under the bus this time with them too. Even after I sent Joe a link to JSA's web showing Roger as one of their experts.
Its sad honestly, that this kind of garbage works on people. I suppose being told he had a "jackpot" and shortly after being told, its no good didn't help matters. But again - as I said to Joe personally, I am sorry that he ended up with these items, I personally wouldn't wish this to happen to anyone, and hopefully some day he will do the digging that I asked him to do.
Ericks new profile (which was created this year) has near 2000 MJ fan friends now on it, so I'm sure that this will be a good way for him to push his merchandise.
Joe if your also reading I just looked back at our convo and Erick comes from the L.A. area, I didn't see you asked that.
