I have a recurring post on the BST looking for a 2016 FUN Luncheon slab, Kennedy 50c with a P mintmark.

Received a tip from a "member" telling me "Teddy" has one for sale.

I ask for a picture, which was provided.

For some reason, it looked very familiar, so I checked the picture from my PCGS Luncheon thread. :D

Edited to add the PM I received and to update the date.

    Well, I called it minor since the attempt was only $150.

    I too got a PM telling me that Teddy has an item I had posted that I WTB on BST. I was given an email address to contact Teddy. I just had a gut feeling that something was amiss. I replied to the PM that I'd check it out. But I had no intention of going any further.

    Tell Teddy to send you the coins first and then you'll pay him. That will get rid of him real fast. :D

    I think this scam was reported on the BST a few months ago with different names.

    I hope the Mods were brought in.

    Was this the same guy that burned Luke Marshall?

    I have a thread on BST about needing better grade Jefferson nickels. A forum member sent me a PM saying his friend Teddy has some. Stupid me sent an e-mail to him. Did not hear back. How does a forum member get away with that? By the way I am still looking for some.

  • MgarmyMgarmy Posts: 2,296 ✭✭✭✭✭

    The forum member pushing teddy needs to be shunned

    This is the 3rd time I’ve seen/heard of this scam on the BST. The first 2 times I had WTB posts up. Same MO. Luckily I check on the photos I was sent and found they were from past major auctions and no way could the seller have them. I post last time it happened and it was also posted the 1st time I saw it. The person who messages you with the name of the person who has the coin will have 0 posts. Please beware and do a little homework before sending money to someone not on the forum.

    Members I have done business with:
    Silverman68, jfoot13, GAB, ricman, Smittys, scrapman1077, RyGuy, Connecticoin, Meltdown, VikingDude, Peaceman, Patches and more.

  • WAYNEASWAYNEAS Posts: 6,848 ✭✭✭✭✭

    IMO
    If you don't have the coin in hand, you should not be allowed to post it on BST.
    If you do, then you should be banned.

    Yep; as @Vetter mentioned, this has happened a few times before. It's the same strategy with different emails.
    Always be careful and do some research (especially if it involves someone you don't know on the forums).
