Check out this auction #3957260643
Irsa4 sold this coin a couple weeks ago in auction #3953070618 and now it shows up with the same pics and almost the same description in the new auction by a seller in Rome, Italy and will take $3000 cash for it. The seller wants cash sent by Western Union wire transfer.
I know this is a scam because of this auction from yesterday #3957156390. I emailed offering the $3000 and the auction was closed early. Then the seller sent me the following message.
" Thank you email me so fast. One more thing, please do me a big time favor, if the person at Western Union, asks you what is the transfer for, please, do not tell them this is for a business purchase, if they ask anything, just tell them that you are sending the funds to your best friend, otherwise, I might be charged with some extra fees here. i am trying to avoid some unwanted taxes, and i hope you understand me because i already pay shipping, handeling and insurance."
I told this person this is a fraud and I did NOT want the coin. Now the auction is right back up for another try.
I sent a fraud alert to eBay for whatever good that will do.

Hi,
For payment , I've choosed money transfer , because this way the
funds will be available the same day you will make the transfer unlike
paypal or escrow that allows you to cash the money after 10 or 12 days. So PayPal is not an option for me , because it simply takes too much time,
comparing with money transfer.
The most important thing in all my activity here is that I am
affiliated at eBay Square Trade . We can use Ebay Square Trade for safety in our transaction . I have a purchase protection account for 10.000$ at Ebay Square Trade and I assume you know what this means.How you are protected by Square Trade,in case we have a deal:
1) If you will not receive the coin as i described to you,although
this is not the case,Square Trade will refund you with 100% from the
whole amount which you paid me.Even in case you will not receive the
car ,they will refund you the money.
2) You can send the money to my name and address but you will not give
me the details from the payment.You will give the details to Square
Trade.They will verify the payment and if is ok,if the money exist and are
available under my name they will notify me to proceede with the
shipping.
After you receive and see that the coin is the one you want,you just
notify Square Trade to forward me the payment details in order for me
to pick up my money..
Let me know if you are still interested and if so, mail me your full
name and shipping address.
Square Trade will inform you on how we can close the deal..
Regards!
