I need help for a friend who got scam by a coin shop

I know I am a naive person, but I will wait a couple of more days to see what happens.

So very true! This is how I ended up with a "free" horse I didn't want. The husband looked at the horse, liked her. I didn't want her. Big fight. He left and was gone for 3 hours then the next thing I know there is a horse trailer coming up the driveway with said horse in it.

My case in point with that description is he went out on his own not knowing what to look for.

Me, to go to a coin shop, then pick out an investment coin for him would hopefully not end in disaster because I know just enough to be dangerous.

Trying doing the "right" thing with limited information (and I do put myself in this category sometimes) can get yourself in a bit of "jack pot". Especially if there is someone who knows that you have limited info that works in their favor (coin dealer, horse dealer, car salesman).

Yup, that is exactly what I meant.

 

Your nose is going to grow long. VERY long! :thumb:

 

Too late, I already look like the emperor Nerva or Jimmy Durante.

 

Hot cha cha cha!

For those who don't know Jimmy "The Schnoz" Durante.

 

Good nite Mrs. Calabash.........

 

I don't have any , all I was saying is people can have dementia and those around them won't notice it . But do you think paying 8000 for a few rolls of silver isn't suffering from some sort of dementia . I guess only Physchologists and Doctors should have an opinion .

 

That's only because my dad is good friends with the people who sold it. I also purchased it for junk price. So if title never did work out, I could junk it and be out nothing.

Would I buy a car from a stranger, without a title in hand? No.

 

Still would have needed the title to junk it. In my state, anyway.

 

Big Ed: Your thread is in dire need of an update from you. Hope all went well today. TC

 

He is supposed to see the receipt today. So, hopefully something in the next day or so.

 

Case closed!

Nope! More likely, just an uneducated consumer.

On mental issues, yes, seeings as how they have the education and training to know what they're talking about.

 

What state is that jens?

Most states don't require a title to junk a motor vehicle, as most junk yards can obtain a junk vehicle title from the DMV.

At least here in NY they can and I think several bordering states to NY as well.

 

How many cars are stolen in NYC, alone, each year? Wouldn't that help keep the junk yards in business? LOL!

Well there are enough to place NY at # 10 of the top 10 states with high number of auto thefts; however, the top 10 metro areas, has California metro areas leading the group with 7 places out of 10, including the top 3 metro areas for 2011.

The top 10 metro areas with highest auto theft rates in 2011:

1. Fresno, Calif.
2. Modesto, Calif.
3. Bakersfield-Delano, Calif.
4. Spokane, Wash.
5. Yakima, Wash.
6. San Francisco/Oakland/Fremont, Calif.
7. Stockton, Calif.
8. Anderson, S.C.
9. Vallejo-Fairfield, Calif.
10. Visalia-Porterville, Calif.

California ranks numero uno, and New York, the state as a whole, ranks # 10. However, in 2006, there were 39,693 cars stolen in the NYC area.

 

I'm not surprised by the California stats with all of the gangs they have there, but NYC having 108+ thefts per day doesn't surprise me either.

As I said, case closed!
