Oh no!!! I've been scammed into buying fake silver

Hi all,

A couple weeks ago I was the victim of fraud. It's embarrassing to be taken advantage of like that. And I was already in the process of selling these before I found out they were fake. Thankfully I was able to realize this scam before anyone sent me money and all sales were cancelled before payments were sent.

Here is most of the details surrounding that horrible situation and the outcome along with pictures of the counterfeit silver.

Oh no! I've just been scammed into buying fake silver bullion

I am also working on editing a video of the counterfeit silver in hopes that more people will be able to avoid being robbed of their hard earned money like I was. Video will be posted soon!

Basically if you've bought silver bullion in the past couple months here in New England you should have it looked at by a specialist because this con-artist has been selling a lot of fake bullion.

Sincerely,
~JobIII

Hi All, ***Unpleasant update for bullion buyers in the south east***

Just got an email from a guy in the Baltimore area. Who purchased a large amount of 1 oz bullion bars back around January. They were packaged just like the ones I bought up here in New England. And ended up being counterfeits. For anyone in the MD area buying bullion (Matthew, Sunshine, Pan Am Scottsdale bars, etc.) Please exercise caution when buying from new sources.

With silver prices on the rise, this might become more of an issue again...

Wow, just read the entire story, you were lucky! I have no doubt that much more of this will be more common!

Quick correction. This update was referring to the MidAtlantic coast, not the Southeast states. Just wanted to clarify.
