Fake GI Joe Baggie Warning

[lejackal]

A little warning from Steve Shepardson, one of the other admins on the 20th Century FB group, thought it was worth sharing as a lot of you collect other lines.

Buyer beware.
Over at the big GIJoe group they are busy outing a member of the Joe community who has been sealing baggie joes with what appears to be all original items. Apparently he was buying red back file cards and loose figs and sealing them into bags. Then selling them on FB and eBay as authentic.
His known eBay profile names are
Yojoe30
Yojoe2013
WRC1978
Suspected to be Juan Jirau or Danny Li, possibly the same person.

This is an example of his counterfeit bagged figure.

and here is a list of suspected figures he was doing this with:

Crimson Guard
