Posts: 6,467 The Somaliland 'banknote' scam. I have been informed that the 'banknotes' that have been printed in the name of the Bank of Somaliland & denominated at 1,000 Shillings is a fantasy. Here's a link; http://www.nachthund.biz/CatalogUpda...SOM076-01.html . These have been seen on eBay,& I have been conned out of US$18.75. as a result. These items are very deceptive.

Posts: 6,467 Roy,I had a look at an example of this item.The quality of the printing is very poor,even though it has a hologram area,& printed on watermarked paper.I am going to return this item back to the vendor.

Posts: 6,467 Roy,the seller of that note actually found out that he was being told lies by some idiot in the U.K. claiming that it was a dud. It has now been certified as a genuinely issued note.
