This is a some of the ways that David Olvera ( Ilovelamp, dbostejano@att.net) has been caught scamming people.
David Olvera bought a Walking dead 100 apperication variant from me at the start of 2016, he claimed he never received the book. After hours of making me waste my time calling Aust post and usps nothing happened. The book did have tracking but went back and forth from Aust to U.S.A. Eventually the tracking said there where 2 items with the same number and it was untrackable. Ok looks like Usps made a mistake. David lodged a paypal claim and got his money back. 9 months later the same book shows up on ebay (252604860102). So David somehow received the book even though usps said it was never delivered then claimed his money back from paypal, then sold the same book on ebay.
David Olvera run a raffle where the prize was a cgc Marvel superheros 18, everyone paid him and he sent the winner a book worth far less then the cgc marvel superheros 18. When he was called out on it he did send the cgc marvel superheros 18 but the case was cracked with no mention of it what so ever. Photos from the raffle where checked after the winner received the book and he noticed that it was damaged prior to sale. After David was called out he paid a $45 reslabing fee.
David Olvera Bought a Amazing spiderman 129 from a seller, listed as a raw 5.5 mentioning that I might jump a grade if pressed. David said he sent it off showed the seller a similar book graded at 5.0 and demanded $100 back from the seller. The book David claimed was the sellers was not the 5.0 that he said it was.
David Olvera ran a raffle with a Amazing spiderman 300 as the prize. The winner never knew he won untill someone told them that they did. By that time David had sold the book on ebay (252580203290).
