Maybe your efforts and the efforts of the grading companies to flag the cert numbers is starting to pay off.
Keep up the fight! You are doing an awesome job!
Thanks for the capture pictures.... They will not stop... there are so many out there that do not know and do not research. Cheers, RickO
Listings are gone, for the time being...
I've said it before, I'll say it again. Maybe anyone foolish enough to fall for this kind of thing deserves to be taken.

No matter how naïve or foolish someone is, I don’t believe that they deserve to be taken.

Well I'de say at least try to inform them the 1st time - then if idiots prevail and don't want the education then sit back and watch them throw their money away...... really nothing more you can do!

It really doesn't take much effort to report bad listings regardless...

@Steven59 I think that plenty can be done when criminals are counterfeiting US dollars, grading slabs and ripping people off. This is so wrong. It needs to be stopped. It's people like me who will get screwed. I'm learning and studying as much as I can but I can easily be fooled. I do live by the rule "if it's to good to be true it usually is" but that doesn't mean they won't price it just enough to temp someone. I guess this is where ebay policies work. If it's fake I know I'll get my money back. Those phony slabs are scary.
