Exact same wording as the 100 other listings this joker has tried this with. Going to report it, hope y'all do the same.

So does anyone in the US EVER use these expressions?

1) I am a professional coin collector from the US
2) via Registered Air Mail
3) USD 25.
4) system update in my city (well maybe Comcast customers)

And how is it that the only thing he has is 25 of these all in "perfect" shape and nothing else.

There was another one these BIN auctions someone from the forum saw a while back. It's sure to be a scam and a hijacked account.

LOL, between those blatant lies, stock photo, and the bad grammar/syntax I think it should raise a red flag (with yellow stars). A Morgan mill for sure.

But...the clouds and colorful font! It MUST be legit! They wouldn't lie like that!

How can anyone with any intelligence fall for such a scam? If the wording of the first paragraph doesn't send up red flags then the rest of the text surely does. A total of 20 people fell for this guy's line and he probably closed his paypal account as soon as the last one was paid for. A total of $1,237.50 and the likelyhood of getting caught being nil. I don't feel sorry for the people who bought into his scam.

Do not open a case with ebay if you do not receive your coin, open a case with PayPal or we will not send your coin. Huh?
