Actually, it's from "Centsles Coin Services Division <offers@independencecoins.com>"





<< <i>Congratulations #A_&_A_COLLECTABLES#!
You are one of the very few Centles Coin Customers who have been selected to receive this offer.

An extremely limited, historically significant, numismatic opportunity have become available for you. It would not be fair to have this event presented to all of our customers, because it would create a chaotic frenzy, and great disappointment for all those who would miss out. In an attempt to be as fair as possible, a selection process was implemented and you have been chosen to participate in this event. Within the next 24-48 hours, you will receive an e-mail announcing the meaningfulness of this event and how you can participate. A complete liquidation is certain. This will not be offered on the Internet, nor will a brochure be mailed out to you, just one notice. Only telephone participation will be accepted. We look forward to talking with you.

Sincerely,
Ray Hanisco
General Manager
Coin Services Division



PLEASE DO NOT REPLY TO THIS E-MAIL - If you do not wish to receive future event or promotional information from the Coin Services Division of Centsles Coins, please send a blank e-mail to unsubscribe@independencecoins.com FROM THE E-MAIL ADDRESS THIS OFFER WAS SENT TO. >>





'nuff said?

    I don't get it. What's the connection between centsles and Independence Coin? I wonder if centsles knows about this?

    "Lenin is certainly right. There is no subtler or more severe means of overturning the existing basis of society(destroy capitalism) than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and it does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose."

    I dont know about you guys, but I think having "centsles" in the name of a business is too close to "senseless". The latter has proved "sensless" seems more appropriate too. I'd never do buisness w/them.

    I liked this from their "About Us" page.

    "Please understand, by placing an order with us, you give our coin specialists, and our coin specialists only, permission to call you on [special] offers, and waive any position you may have on a local, state or national "do not call list" for Independence Coin Services, Inc."

    Sounds ominous.

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    I've been reading all their pages on eBay for this statement, and I can't find it anywhere. Could you provide a link?

    In any case, it's certainly buried out of sight. So if I've ever ordered from Centsles, I'm going to get this spam from them? I don't mind the email so much...I can certainly just delete it, and there hasn't been a high volume of email, at least not yet. But it's just really cheesy and slimy of them to claim that I'm giving them "permission" or "waiving my position" anything , just because they put this disclaimer on an obscure eBay page. What a load of crap.



    I can't wait to see what this historically significant opportunity is going to be.

    Sorry if I gave the wrong impression - it's not on an ebay page, it's here, under the "Privacy Policy" heading, on the Independence Coins site that you linked to.

    It's an offer to sell more of those 9-11 death coins in PCGS holders with american flags tags.
  • DennisHDennisH Posts: 13,990 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I replied by saying I was offended by their offer and would have nothing to do with "Death Coins" even if they were free.
    When in doubt, don't.

    I'll have to drive by, as I am only 10 minutes away. I didn't even realize they were located there. Actually, maybe I won't, as I don't want anything to do with them, or get on the spamming lists.

    Even after making fun of their stupid email yesterday. Not only are they generous, they are very wise and forgiving.

    So if you do buy anything from them, just send your own disclaimer back with your payment:

    Please understand, by accepting funds in payment for an order from me, Independence Coin Services, their coin specialists, or anyone else my information is provided to, agrees to abide by any position I may have on a local, state or national "do not call list".
