Re: Why is it that we use words like scam, manipulation or conspiracy to describe things we dont underst

A scam is when someone ends up short changed by a plot to deceive or take without servicing or delivery of contract or product. A manipulation is when it's shaped into something different than it is. Structured to look like a dollar, but it's just a dime. Conspiracy is what precedes the scam or manipulation. That's easy… -
Re: Littleton messages zapped
<< <i>Littleton, aside from a pricing scale that's off the charts, is IMHO not one of the Numismatic Axis Of Evil. >> Agreed. Pricey as they are, most indications I get from folks (I've never dealt with them) is that that they at least deliver the goods. That's far better than getting ripped off by scammers not sending… -
Re: Knowledgeable Numismatists at ICG
From what I understand, ICG's moderns were alright at first, but they slowly slipped towards being looser... it seems it was a way for them to draw more money in, because of the scammer type EBayers and dealers... take their Post-1900 grades with a grain of salt, and grade for your self, as you should for ANY TPG's slab,… -
Re: I sure do love Buffaloes

Something stinks, and it is this coin. Mea culpa: I bought it last fall on impulse from one of our favorite people, the Savannah Scammer. I saw thousands of transactions, a high feedback rating, and thought I was sneaking in under the radar. PCGS couldn't bag it fast enough. A hard lesson learned! To those who spotted it… -
Re: PayPal issue - 6/11 update - resolution: SUCCESSFUL!
This is why I've always believed that Ebay, Paypal, Stubhub, etc will eventually be blown up be scammers. This is a horrible ripoff and I'm betting you never see the coin or your money again. And what about all the transactions we don't know about ? A few years ago there was a high end camera dealer on Ebay with a pristine… -
Re: NPB strike. action needed
I'm really not trying to be arguementative here. Honest. But what is the harm in the story *if* it is true? I am not saying this person is not a scammer. It is very possible (and maybe even likely) that she is. But at the same time I think people have the right to sell what they want on eBay if they are being truthful and… -
Re: Auction lot viewing at State of Michigan sale of coins from abandoned safe deposit boxes
The state of Mass is having auction viewing for unclaimed property that they will be selling on Ebay. It is only 40 miles from me, but I will not even bother, because the states that auction on Ebay always get very stupid money for coins (like $400 for baggy 84-CC GSAs). I am surprised scammers have not tried to sell with… -
Re: eBay ~ silver $15 a oz~1000oz's
Seller looks ok. Feedback ok. Member since '01. Free shipping. Price is extremely good. Bars are great (I've got an OPM 100 oz bar). So... Not a chance in hell. Nobody sells below the market. And even on the off chance that it is 100% legit and the deal of the year, I'd rather be a fool to miss my chance at glory than be… -
Re: CREEPY!!!

Hi, Actually, the Ebay scammers could use that... “Your complaint does not compute, the coin looks good to me, I never said I would send you what was in the picture, I know nothing about coins, a grab bag means I get $100.00 you get a wheat penny, DANGER, DANGER.... retaliatory negative feedback has been engaged, fire,… -
Re: Legit or are a TON of people about to get ripped off?
This is a known scammer. They hack legit accounts and dump the same stolen images on there and ask people to contact them outside of eBay. This has happened at least 10+ times over the last month and always the same cards. You'll see them again. The fact they keep doing it goes to show that the same type of idiots that buy…
