A YouTuber was inspired by a famous Spanish YouTuber, El Rubio, who bought a $20,000 Pokémon card and made a profit after opening it. The YouTuber decided to buy Pokémon envelopes online, but he was scammed by a seller on eBay. The seller sent him an open envelope, claiming it was sealed, and then tried to blame the delivery man for opening it.
The YouTuber confronted the scammer, who tried to humiliate him and offered to return his money only if he removed his negative feedback and returned the envelope. The YouTuber refused, and the scammer eventually refunded his money.
The YouTuber sees this as a victory and a lesson to stand up against scammers. He also announces that he has received four more Pokémon envelopes, which he plans to open with El Rubio, and invites his viewers to subscribe to his channel to see the outcome.
