Benjamin Half?

[TakeDownTick50]

I saw this on some website. I don't know what forum to post this in, so I posted it here. I don't know if it's real. But if it is real, a free half dollar wouldn't do any harm. http://www.fatwallet.com/forums/free-stuff/1162589/

Use your mind. If it is too good to be true, it probrably is.

If not, you're basically giving out your information to a 3rd party junkmail company, and you'll have 4 peices of junkmail every day for the rest of your life.

Please, if you don't know the company, and are searching up on a search engine, "FREE SILVER", don't fall for these scams. Sure you MIGHT get the silver franklin IF it is real, but you'll be HARASSED by junkmail forever.

This was posted previously on this site. I called the number (800) 328-1860. It is to a company called Investment Rarities Inc. They are located in Minneapolis, MN. I spoke with a salesman who did ask me where I saw the ad. I think I told him the Wall Street Journal. He talked about buying either a bag or half bag of silver coins. It was like $28,000 for a full bag or $14,000 for a half bag. I told him I couldn't afford that, he promised to send me additional information. I didn't mention the coin. I got the information but there was no coin in it. Last week, I received another envelope with additional information & in that packet was a 1951 S Franklin Half. I got a phone call on Friday when I was out. I will have to call him on Tuesday to thank him for sending me the additional information but I will not be able to make such a large purchase. I will also ask him to remove me from his phone list.

I personally stay away from this BS, a personal opinion, of course.

I scored 2 Mercury dimes from that other outfit a while ago. I gave one address for me and another at my wifes office in her maiden name (gave them the fax number) I will go pretty far for a free mercury

To each his own. I faxed the free Ben request on February 20th and received a 1961 Ben in the mail today from these people. I'm sure I'll get additional junkmail but the trash pick-up comes every week. Silver, I'll take it where I can get it!! HH

I called this number about 4 weeks ago.I told him i saw the ad but didnt remember what mag.I think i mentioned turning my 401k into silver. we talked a while about the shape the econ is in and how its going.. I got some info about a week later no coin. Yesterday I got a silver eagle and some info, they wanted me to buy half bag or a full bag. Send me all the junk mail they want to with silver.

I recieved my half and I get a news letter about once a month that contains some good info. No harrasment.

That sounds totally worth it- But if I were to get my info sold to other solicitors and received one a week, it would not be. I am not sure this is for me...

 

[Mr. Silver Stash]

I actually received my Benjamin Franklin half today! I got a packet of info in the mail. I haven't had any phones calls so far... Decent 1949 half... I will take free silver any day! After 10 skunk boxes last week, it is good to see a 90%. I found one franklin when I first started in a roll...

 

[SilverForBrains]

dang a silver eagle? looks like i'll be calling these guys too, I already get a**loads of junk mail and calls, but the bast**ds never send me any silver!

 

[kontrapunktus1750]

Looks like the offer expired a couple of weeks ago. I wish I'd known about it sooner. I already get enough junk mail but I'd put up with a little more to get a little piece of silver. How many Citibank 0% card offers must one endure in a week anyway? And don't get me started on the paper cuts...

 

[quiksilver]

I did this a cpuple of times. I received plenty of phone calls, some stopped soon after they tried to sell me mint condition $10 gold pieces and I explained to them my opinion on gold .

 

[seinfeld4077]
