Police seize fake gold, platinum following Saskatchewan traffic stop
http://globalnews.ca/news/3114880/p...raffic-stop/


Quote:
Officers then searched the vehicle and said they found a large amount of cash and what appeared to be 32 pieces of gold and platinum with a street value between $50,000 and $100,000.

It was later determined that the precious metals were counterfeit and the three men were the suspects in several suspicious pawn transactions.


Unfortunately for every one of these scammers they capture, many more get away unscathed. Not sure how pawn shop dealers keep falling for these types of scams, you would think they would be up on all the red flags by now.

Looks like the "loot" was the same type of counterfeits that proliferate ebay!

At least those 32 counterfeits won't be showing up on ebay anytime soon! (Hopefully!)
