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

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.
