This is just sad!

COINS MAKE CENTS

These are listed for sale on line wow! They even have different sized bars 5 grams up to 1 ounce. These are as counterfeit as they get but in my opinion the packages look pretty good, and would definatly fool people. Pretty bad the apmex one as bad as it is for even being a fake also has written on it made in the USA. Selling as a" replica"
But it is written on the package or bar anywhere

I feel sorry for the people who get stuck with them. I really do!

Smudge

That’s just awful. Thanks for the heads up.

Many around here don't like the "c word" (counterfeit). The preferred parlance is "fantasy bar."

On a serious note, this is horrible. I hope the government goes after any importers and prospective resellers.

I sold a real one to a buyer who cut the package open, slipped in a fake , shipped it back , then told eBay I sold him a fake. Yes, they took my money and gave it back to him. He kept the real gold, too. That made me mad, not sad.

These new bars are very deceptive and scammers could fetch 100 times of their actual worth!

It's bad.

With the recent spike in prices, this will likely get worse. Be careful.

This is truly upsetting!

Can anyone point out all the details that signal these gold bars being fake?

The price of them is the first dead giveaway!

Why does someone have to do this? One reason why I dislike using ebay to sell coins, unless I'm flipping a hot mint release.

WOW, really sorry to hear that. That's why can't sell gold bar on ebay, too risky.

Ebay has so many sellers selling fake stuff like this guy selling a lot. He has a high feedback too.
