I will make a mental note to remember if I ever see you at a show about to do business with a con artist - I won't get personally involved .
The members of this board enjoy a brotherhood , a common bond of expected honesty and fairness and decency .............
we help each other if we can , we don't hide behind some B.S code of conduct that the "good 'ole boy's " dealerships dream up >>
PawPaul- I do not want to see anyone get ripped off, i just question others getting involved thru phone calls and emails after reading a thread. If i talked to you at a show and you made a comment that you were about to drop some $$$ on some toned franklins from so and so's table, if i knew something you did not, i would tell you. To me there is a difference here.
If you move out of my duplex, i do not need coin guy hounding me for your deposit without seeing the way the unit was left, but then again i try to avoid as many issues as i can. It makes life simplier.
P.S. i try to stay away from the con artist type.

<< <i>Has this thread officially *jumped the shark* yet? >>
I think so. The chest puffing by those NOT affected directly, the attempts at humor and large graphic files, etc.....those all tell me that people are more interested in appearing funny than just offering support/suggestions and that they don't care much. Just my opinion, but it has repeated itself enough times on the forum over the years that the pattern is there.
This has been reported to the Dallas police internet fraud department and to www.ic3.gov which is run by the FBI and two other agencies. This was the coin, and I'm sure the images were juiced.
All coins kept in bank vaults. PCGS Registries Box of 20 SeaEagleCoins: 11/14/54-4/5/12. Miss you Larry!
Almost makes you wonder if it was even his coin? Their is that outfit in Texas you might want to contact also that investigates coin crimes. I can't remember the name of them but one phone call from them might fo the trick too.
Well, I hope it gets resolved. I'd hate to think Martin ends up being a crook. I've had many a delightful conversation with him in the past, so I think it's a real shame.
This has been reported to the Dallas police internet fraud department and to www.ic3.gov which is run by the FBI and two other agencies. This was the coin, and I'm sure the images were juiced.
Good luck with the ic3.gov hotline. I contacted my local postmaster on an obvious case of ebay mail fraud which he fully agreed with. But he said they no longer do local investigations and gave me information to upload my complaint....there, multiple agencies can take "action" and share information. I never heard a thing again from any of them. It's been 4 yrs now, maybe I should I check the status of the complaint for any new updates? They should have labeled the site idc3.gov (Idontcare.gov). As I said, you'll probably have better luck via numismatic sources who can apply more subtle pressure.
agreed..i got scammed on the BST a few months ago for $800 and paypal wouldn't cover it, and gave me the IC3.gov site to report it........2 months later.....not a word back....typical!

May I ask why you didn't call him, afterall you proudly and pointedly posted his telephone number for all to see and suggested that one should call him? I would have thought by your posts that you were already in comminication with him, since you that was the only reason you switched from so called forum lurker to forum member. My purpose for replying is to see this matter resolved, isn't that yours too? >>
I can easily think of reasons why, if I were in this poster's shoes, I wouldn't call someone even if I had dealt with them and felt they were standup folk.... Mainly, because, unless it is a strong PERSONAL friend, I would send email and wouldn't want to get into a phone discussion. I wouldn't care for excuses, I wouldn't care for anything...I would just be like "this is happening and you may want to deal with it". Not saying Martin is in the right, and like many, his coins weren't usually like his pictures (for the worse). I bought one and he didn't want to take a return. Instead of fighting over a $50ish coin, I just said "screw it" and he lost a lot of future sales in me (over 1-2 years ago)...this was on ebay. No way would I bid up higher on the juiced images.
Now, if this new poster is really Martin, someone who has been lurking, or anything else, I have no way of knowing and it isn't worth puffing out my chest to challenge him. Until he proves himself, I will just not worry about it.

I wish you luck, but I imagine the internet fraud department will lack sufficient manpower, jurisdiction or commitment to force a positive outcome for you. Perhaps I am cynical, but it is the way I think it will go down should he resist.
I bought a toned dime or something from this jerk for like 3-4 dollars on ebay. He sent me a kennedy half dollar. He refused to do anything to make it right, saying that the kennedy was worth what I paid in silver. I guess that's one way to not fulfill your ebay orders if you don't like the price you get.
He started replying after the detective from the online fraud department called him. Trying to work it out.
I'm amazed that they took any action at all, especially so quick. I don't think they had an internet fraud division back in 2006, just a website to bury all the complaints. Our hats are off to you. After 4 yrs it looks like they've actually made progress in this division.
AnkurJ, if you happen to talk to that guy again ask him to give me a call about the status of my 4 yr old internet/mail/ebay fraud case (where I provided the seller's home phone number, home address on Boulder Pass, Union City, Georgia, how the fraud was accomplished, whose auction they copied, and a satellite view of the beautiful new home they were currently living in). All they had to do was call them or knock on their door.
OK, now! IMHO... no dude talks about his friends like that, and then Dead-related musical reference (he ain't heavy...), being the underdog (feeling beat down + remember Martin's pit bull in his sigline?)... it all leads me to believe that catdog (schizo-affective nomenclature + the delightful conversations with self = wtf!?!) has got to be Martin. Duh!!! Why are we even entertaining the notion that Martin has this mysterious friend, who was duped too (he somehow has the wrong number like Ankur)? He talks up Martin in the toned nickel thread (interesting the similar collecting interests). It can't be! There's one guy - Martin - who's been participating in the discussion from the beginning. Then Ankur gets an email shortly after the superhero dog arrives on the scene purportedly remedying the situation. It all fits, no? This is one sick puppy, that's for darned sure! Real signs of sociopathic behavior here, IMHO. Maybe Sportsmod could shed some light on Martin/catdog's location for Ankur and the FBI/police.

What a MEAN bunch of people here. And to think you banned ksteelheader. He was a jerk but at least everyone knew it.

You havnt answered my question , you said you have bought hundreds of coins from us "pinheads" , i've nothing to do with SeaEaglecoins so i don't know why that would or would not worry me ? I'd say rather than bitter old men we are just not as dumb as you would like to think.I happen to agree with Bear , a very wise old bear so this is my last input to the matter.In my opinion you slipped up posting about purchases and will find that a difficult one to explain. Collector or no collector to buy from us "pnheads" you had to have been a member.
<< <i>Collector or no collector to buy from us "pnheads" you had to have been a member. >>
Many of you sell on eBay and I buy maybe 20-30 coins per week off eBay. So, it doesn't have to be via the BST.
What in the heck is all the hostility? Maybe you ought to add back the "Open Forum" back up for all you people that want to attack and accuse new people who join to talk about coins.

To match the ebay id to people here again you would need to be a member , sure you could lurk but that doesn't sound like someone who buys hundreds of coins does it ? Nobody is attacking you , quite the reverse actually.I think the ebay excuse is an obvious one , so lets clear it up then , who have you bought coins from here ? Lets see if they can verify you , there's your out buddy , call on them now and we can put it all to bed.

Everything that had to be said, has already been said. Let us all
move on, shall we and get back to coins, numismatics, tokens and
medals. Thank you all, Bear

OK, now! IMHO... no dude talks about his friends like that, and then Dead-related musical reference (he ain't heavy...), being the underdog (feeling beat down + remember Martin's pit bull in his sigline?)... it all leads me to believe that catdog (schizo-affective nomenclature + the delightful conversations with self = wtf!?!) has got to be Martin. Duh!!! Why are we even entertaining the notion that Martin has this mysterious friend, who was duped too (he somehow has the wrong number like Ankur)? He talks up Martin in the toned nickel thread (interesting the similar collecting interests). It can't be! There's one guy - Martin - who's been participating in the discussion from the beginning. Then Ankur gets an email shortly after the superhero dog arrives on the scene purportedly remedying the situation. It all fits, no? This is one sick puppy, that's for darned sure!
First off, no one asked for your opinion and it clearly stinks.
Second. get off my back. I'm not Martin and have never met him personally. I have bought over 100 items from him and I never got ripped off. Sorry if YOU did.
I've also bought 100's of coins from half of you pinheads so STHU before you lose my business.
What a MEAN bunch of people here. And to think you banned ksteelheader. He was a jerk but at least everyone knew it. >>

First I don't buy worthless slock from SeaEagleCoins so you don't have to worry.
Second, just because I JUST joined doesn't mean I'm not a serious collector.
Third, I know mean and that's exactly how I've been treated JUST for saying I didn't think Martin would rip someone off.
If he does then I'm wrong. EXCUSE ME. Are you people coin collectors or a bunch or bitter old men waiting for a good day to die off?

You havnt answered my question , you said you have bought hundreds of coins from us "pinheads" , i've nothing to do with SeaEaglecoins so i don't know why that would or would not worry me ?
I'd say rather than bitter old men we are just not as dumb as you would like to think.I happen to agree with Bear , a very wise old bear so this is my last input to the matter.In my opinion you slipped up posting about purchases and will find that a difficult one to explain.
Collector or no collector to buy from us "pnheads" you had to have been a member.
<< <i>Collector or no collector to buy from us "pnheads" you had to have been a member. >>
Many of you sell on eBay and I buy maybe 20-30 coins per week off eBay. So, it doesn't have to be via the BST.
What in the heck is all the hostility? Maybe you ought to add back the "Open Forum" back up for all you people that want to attack and accuse new people who join to talk about coins.

And you're not a jerk for claiming in another thread to have purchased an 1804 dollar . Right.

To match the ebay id to people here again you would need to be a member , sure you could lurk but that doesn't sound like someone who buys hundreds of coins does it ? Nobody is attacking you , quite the reverse actually.I think the ebay excuse is an obvious one , so lets clear it up then , who have you bought coins from here ? Lets see if they can verify you , there's your out buddy , call on them now and we can put it all to bed.
