Scam at Blanchard! I got a confirmation of 3 coins I never ordered!

GottaGetCoins

AU58 $1 Gold 1850-O Type 1 NGC $2205
MS61 $1 Gold 1855 Type 2 NGC $4550
MS66 $1 Gold 1883 Type3 NGC $2519

Not only did I not order these, I never spoke about them AND the prices seem to be outrageous!

Is this company synonomous with "Littleton"?

LanLord

If you never ordered them and they send them to you, I think postal law indicates that they are yours to keep. Hope they don't have your CC number though!

kranky

Didn't you just post this the other day?

GottaGetCoins

Yes but Im looking for opinions on those prices. also someone asked me to repost

Please pardon my ignorance, but who is Blanchard?

It doesn't matter why they say, as long as you don't pay.

As a wholesaler I sell coins to Blanchard. I assure you the quality is fine and their prices seem to be inline with retail.

As far as this being a scam, might I suggest a phone call to clear all this up? I assure you there is an explanation to settle this mis-understanding.

I agree with njcoincrank. They probably got some paperwork crossed up. I'd call 'em.

I would be frightened by that too...3 coins with those price tags and I never talked to anyone...yikes!!!

Coinosaurus

Yeah....call 'em and tell 'em they don't get the coins back unless they personally come to your house during non-business hours......

Anyone remember Harry Browne - he was a hard metal guy that wrote lots of scary books about the dangers of fiat currency, etc. Anyway, when I was a kid my name got on some mailing list and he sends me a book which I hadn't ordered, with an invoice enclosed. Scared me to death, I thought I did something wrong.

We never paid, and they never asked for their dough. Apparently they just sent them out unsolicited and assumed that enough people would pay up to cover their expenses.

Magazine companies still do that... I had a subscription with a gaming magazine, I let it lapse cause I wasn't interested in it anymore, but I still occasionally get issues of other magazines from the same company, and they occasionally send an invoice asking for money...

I've been getting Motorcyle magazine for over ten years even though I only paid for one year sometime in the early 90's ~ I get invoices telling me it is gonna runout but they still keep coming

Remember him? He's at http://www.harrybrowne.org Was Libertarian cadidate for president last time around. Was the first and only third party candidate to appear on the ballot in all 50 states and still the system wouldn't allow him to even debate the two statist parties.
