Vickie McInnis responded to a newspaper ad promising a chance to buy old, rarely-seen coins that have been sitting in a bank vault for years.
With shipping, she paid $61.43. But, here's what she received: a bag of about 100 pennies, worth at most: $1.50.
"I felt totally deceived, totally ripped off,'' McInnis said.

Three folks on our local CL have also been duped. They even viewed before purchase!
