https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Rhode_Island The Battle of Rhode Island (also known as the Battle of Quaker Hill) took place on August 29, 1778. Continental Army and militia forces under the command of Major-general John Sullivan had been besieging British forces in Newport, Rhode Island on Aquidneck Island, but… -
Re: Internet Crime Jumps By A Third Last Year ...
My kid got a text message a week ago that he won some Canadian Lottery. Classic scam text came through on his cell phone. And shortly after he even got a call from the scammers. Call came out of Connecticut, did a reverse look up on it. Guess the scammers are really getting hard up for money. HAHA. -
Re: Thanks guys for the encouraging words.
My personal experience with scammers has formed my opinion of private feedback combined with lots of penny auctions. I can't imagine the amount of money those two options combined have cost ususpecting bidders from scammers. So I hope you can understand the "say what" attitude, and I'm a newbie here . Apologies, Trent. -
Re: 46 months in prison!
<< <i>Is there restitution as part of the sentence? >> That was my first thought, along with the idea of which sort of prison is it? For all we know, he may be out in 18 months. New eBay ID, become a scammer as opposed to a rip off artist and he could do quite well ala the infamously wealthy "Savanna Scammer", AKA Pamela… -

Re: Another Ebay thief
I think this nickel was "sold" a few days ago by another scammer. I rememeber the weird photo. My Hot mail is screwing up AGAIN this morning so I can not verify it. I have an old email from a guy who notified me of this scammer who changed their ID and then he found them selling this same nickel, I think. WS -
Re: Congratulations to silver! New all time high: $120+!!!
No, I wrote to your response, setting up a table and sitting at a coin show all week/weekend would be a pathetic waste of my time. Get your facts straight before attempting to stalk/slander me some more. Yes, the dealers were trying to sell 90% junk at spot and some as much as 10% back of melt. They tried to preach the… -
Re: A black list for Ebay??
I have correspondences and emails where the scammer even admits he is scamming ( and getting away with it). Some will rub it in your face. Pay pal and Ebay know exactly ( by repeated dealings) who those people are. They get banned, then just change their name; but never their MO. It's who they are. We are talking scammers,… -
Re: PSA cards sold, not removed from set, anyone else have this problem?
It's much more likely that one of the cards is a Craigslist type of card. All a scammer needs is a real cert and he can make ten Yaz cards all with the same cert. The registry is a bad thing for scammers because there's a chance their buyer will try to register the card. If multiples pop up and PSA is able to examine both… -
Re: selling high dollar card question
Another quick tip to spot a potential scammer with low feedback - Check and see if the guy has "prolifically" been bidding on many auctions recently. Usually most scammers are greedy and "go for the kill" when say they've got a stolen credit card or something like that, or intend to scam and abscond and move to another…
