Scammers are impersonating me again, asking my friends to send money. Be careful and don’t send money!

thanks for the heads up, all the best with this
No problems here - you're in my SPAM list.
Don't worry, no matter how many coins you send me...I will not send you money.

Don't worry, I only send money to Nigerian princes!

Please define impersonating. That sucks and hope my reply made you smile.

if they asked for rare coins to be sent ...then one could be temped to help.
Most likely your email may have been compromised and your contacts list became the distribution list ... change your email account password. many of our friends had the same thing happen - all asking for help.

My friends from Microsoft tech support always try to call me and fix things for me. How kind.🥰😊
I once got a call from "Microsoft Windows Corporation"
they were stranded in the Philippines after losing their wallet and needed $2,500immediately
I gave them the contact info of this nigerian prince i know that has lots of money
Thanks for sharing.

I just received a phone call and the address said it was from my bank so I answered it, sure enough it was a scammer tring to get me to give him account information. It didn't take long to figure out it was a scam, read him the riot act and HE hung up! Ha Ha
In these trying times they are coming out of the woodwork,
Be careful out there...........

That's exactly what happened more than a year ago. They got into my e-mail, changed my password, and locked me out. I got the account back after a while and locked them out, but they still have my contact list and all of my e-mail archives. So now they've created an e-mail address that's similar to mine, and are working the list again. They're in the Philippines, so nothing the authorities can do to stop them, if they were so inclined. All I can do is try to warn people.

If your contacts proved fruitful last time, it would make sense the scammers would try to harvest them again.
Luckily, those contacts who fell pray last time are now wiser and no one will be scammed.
I have to many coins said no one ever 👀
Pass a few bad checks and the scammers will leave you alone
What a pain in the you know where. Stay frosty!

You should have sent them a 1923-D Merc. That coin should easily be worth $2500.00.
