He told the man who posted the ad that his name was "John," and agreed to meet and let him verify the validity of the coins at a local coin shop" https://patch.com/new-york/newcity/...victim-19000 Edited by aardspeed 06/19/2015 8:22 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Pacificoin Pillar of the Community Canada 5395 Posts	Posted 06/19/2015 2:56 pm isn't greed a wonderful thing? Sometimes you deserve exactly what you get. no sympathy from this corner at all. STAY away from Craigslist and such when it comes to buying coins and precious metals. The crooks are just waiting for the right greedy pig to come along and score a monster deal. When you buy precious metals or collectible coins do it right and do not cut corners. Deal with a reputable company or dealer , get an invoice, pay all the applicable taxes and store your material only where you or your loved ones have access. For the hundredth time on this forum Santa Claus is not a part of numismatics, or the Tooth Fairy, or the Easter Bunny. Do it right and there is not much of a chance you will have a problem like this fool. Report this Post to the Staff
