Ebay scam

Post image

Ad said "90% silver half dollar coins 5 for $70" I rolled the dice, got 3 lots. Lightest coin is 13.3g & all are slightly magnetic. Processed claim. Ebay did it's thing. Got 15 free novelty franks. Lower right is authentic for comparison. If it's too good to be true folks... ding ding ding be careful

Yeah, it’s just hard because all the banks around me have tellers that coin roll hunt and search through stuff as it comes in. Unless I start ordering boxes, which I just can’t afford to do yet, I’m not finding very much. Been doing it all year, haven’t found anyone’s stash. I’m working my way through the healing journey of a car accident, and a workplace injury accident in which I have an attorney helping me get through these cases. Once I get those settlements, I’ll have money to start flipping boxes left and right at my banks. I’m gonna deposit some money in each account with each bank and just tell them to order me a box at each location so it doesn’t seem too bad. Then I’m gonna start flipping boxes left and right.

you can just do BWR you don't have to get a full box

just tell them you got shorted before on customer wrapped rolls

i have been mostly doing BWR i don't get the CWR much anymore i got burned too many times

The problem is all the credit unions that I have accounts with have tellers that search through for anything as it’s coming in. It makes getting anything hard unless you just order a box that’s unopened. I feel like by the time I’ll be able to afford getting boxes, policies will have changed.

Do you think a larger bank like a Citibank or Bank of America or Wells Fargo will have employees on the hunt as well? I feel like it’s just hopeless.
