On 12/12/2021 in Layton Utah my 1895-O morgan was stolen. Please be on the lookout and if you have any information call the Layton city police department

  • I met him at a set location because he asked if he could purchase it. I had it listed on ksl.com. He gave me fake $100 bills then took off running

    The Secret Service may be interested in the counterfeiting of $100 bills; also if there were online emails exchanged you can get google to find location of the sender.

  • It was all discussed over text message

    text is traceable too

    cell tower pings can give locations

    but for a few hundred bucks, they may not try

    What a crook. Sorry.

    ksl.com? Don't know that site. If it brings that sort of clientele connections, perhaps more mainstream buy-sell transaction tools and websites should be used? Scary! I hope you get your dollar back.

    Watch eBay listings to see if it turns up there. Fortunately you have photos of the coin.

    Hey PCGS, if you want to offer me a job to help securing these message boards, let me know. I would love to help keep this community safe, the amount of phishing scams here has gotten out of hand.

    If you can substantiate your accusation, have you contacted a moderator?

    It's a fact and not my obligation to report. I'm simply letting people know since scams are really getting out of hand here.

    Look at the user's post history and let me know if anything sticks out as odd to you. I can inform you better once you do the same research I did. They do this to gather information on DOA, "daily active users" that are more likely to respond to a later scam email. They get your email from your bio which is public for many users.

    I would love a job here but I won't work for free, especially since the snark from the peanut gallery is nonsense. I'll toss the greater community a bone with this teachable moment. The problem is bigger than people realize.

    @Mgarmy I know that you are upset about a different thread and not cybersecurity. Taking things personally and following me around threads is not helpful for avoiding scams. Out of respect for the greater community, I will not respond to any further trolling.

    Dude I have no idea what you are talking about. To my knowledge this is the only thread I have ever responded to you. Yea, I am the one trolling…maybe you are the cyber thief…as evidence is not required

    Correction: I did respond to you before…you were the “member” that took issue with the tornado thread. So not worth the time it took to type this. Got get em cyber hunter.

    Actually I’m not scamming anything or anyone. What is your problem? You are the one that is a threat, making false accusations on a whim. I have been the victim of multiple scams in the last 6 months and people like you make it much worse when I’m just trying to ask for advice and/or informing everyone about counterfeit coins. It really says a lot about you as a person when you can just attack someone for no apparent reason. Practice keeping you mouth shut and keep your outlandish comments to yours and your dog. And one last thing, get a life troll

  • I want to thank all the ones that saw that clown for what they truly are and had my back. I will admit I have had nothing but terrible luck as of lately and every time I put it out there someone like the troll king makes it worse. It’s nice knowing that there are people out there that will stand up to those types of ignorant people

  • You seriously just made me laugh so hard after reading this I cried. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂 you are one heck of a detective. Psych!!!!!!!!!!!! you are seriously one of the most full of them self arrogant people I have come across on the Internet. You think you are so right about everything and that’s actually the reason why you have no friends and live alone but I’m sure you tell yourself it’s everybody else’s fault, well here’s a massive blow to your ego and a huge punch in the face from what is common sense folk call reality. Good luck living in your fantasy land of a life ✌️✌️✌️

  • I also want to apologize for my comments and stooping to that users level. I responded poorly and my emotions got the best of me. I’m just so sick and tired of people like that saying stuff like that about me in confidence when they have no idea who I am and what I have done and gone through in life. I’m not feeling sorry for myself it’s just been happening a lot lately on top of getting scammed and ripped off. I’m a 33 year old disabled veteran and a stay at home dad just trying to get my life back to a happier place and coins have been pushing me that way. Again I’m sorry and thanks for having my 6 today. Lord knows I had all of your backs when I was half way around the world fighting for our freedom and trying to prevent more serious attacks in our own backyard

    @BigRig0526 Were there any cameras in the place you met up? Scammed several times in 6 months??? That means you are obviously doing something wrong. Change comes from within.

    Ever been to an Aldi's? Here you have to deposit a couple of quarters into a lock on the shopping cart to be able to use it! If you don't return it you loose your 50c! :#

    @braddick said:
    This thread reminds me the shopping cart is the ultimate litmus test for whether a person can be self-governing.
    To return the shopping cart is an easy, convenient task that we all recognize as the correct, appropriate thing to do. To return the shopping cart is objectively correct. There are no situations other than dire emergencies in which a person cannot return their cart. Simultaneously, it is not illegal to abandon your shopping cart. Therefore the shopping cart presents itself as the apex example of whether a person will do what is right without being forced to do it.

    No one will punish you for not returning the shopping cart; no one will fine you or kill you for not returning the shopping cart; you gain nothing by returning the shopping cart. You must return the shopping cart out of the goodness of your own heart. You must return the shopping cart because it is the right thing to do. Because it is correct.

    A person who cannot do this is no better than an animal, an absolute savage who can only be made to do what is right by threatening them with the law and the force behind it.
    The Shopping Cart is what determines whether a person is a good or bad member of society.

    The same applies to littering.* Our society is going straight to hell.

    If you have a homeowners policy check it for counterfeit bills. I had one once and my State Farm policy gave me the $100. Get the police involved and the feds too. Don't do nothing. You may not find him again but do set up a different account (different name, etc) and try selling a $10 gold piece or something and see if he tries it again. Discuss this with the Police Officer and see if they would go along with a sting with you. If he strikes once he'll do it again.

    It's only a quarter down here, and I usually give my return cart to someone just arriving, so they don't have to mess with digging out a quarter and unlocking a new cart.

    Good for you!! My wife and I always bring plastic bags when we walk on the beach, to pick up the detritus that washes up on the shore, mostly plastic, but old shoes, bottles, rope, etc is also in the mix.
