Fake 1893-CC Morgans On Ebay

Wow - that's pretty brash!

"Celebrating the opening of their new store.....?"

Are people really THAT stupid to believe this?

Apparently, at least 10 believed it!

I imagine they cashed that Paypal check immediately lol.

The more I look at this listing, I think the Seller will deliver a picture of the 93-CC.

In the listing he refers to it as "artwork". He may try to use that as his defense when the complaints start poring in.

Nothing surprises me.

For the record, this is a known group of trolls we've been playing Whack-a-Nole with for a couple years now. Same modus operandi every time, the only differences being they use hijacked accounts when they can and new ones when they can't.

Question, is this person also using hijacked credit card information? How are they getting the money, without giving away their personal details? If it is a case of stolen credit cards in use with a fraudulent account is this not a police matter?

Or are they using ebay as a low interest loan, because they've been refused credit elsewhere?

Could someone please help me understand how someone can operate for so long without being caught, I mean an ip hit on them surely could locate them. unless they are using proxy methods, but surely ebay's system would pick that up?

That's awful, they're ruining so much-not only do we end up with counterfeits entering collections. But also it strengthens an economy in an illegitimate way :(.

Could ebay not impose the same criteria they have with louis vuitton and 'brand/designer' merchandise. Whereby if a seller is new and inexperienced with high calibre items/coins etc, they are only able to sell a certain amount a month until they gain a trustworthy reputation. It disgusts me that this happens so often, and I'm glad I've been learning about these types of goings on thanks to CCF. I was rather oblivious to how prevalent all the counterfeit coins were that are so openly sold. I was aware of the bullion though. So they must be using proxy connections via U.S.A., because the seller wouldn't ship too the U.K. not that I wanted them to.

I found the seller has one subscriber already.
