    Team,

    Here is a valid warning for the seller THUMBLEMINA. He or She is apparently selling Morgans at great prices, then TOTALLY pulling the auctions and disappearing. The seller Ziwei Zhang located is in Florida. All e-mails to thumblemina@aol.com have not been returned.

    I'm embarrassed to say I was caught in two of these and have filed PayPal complaints, contacted (Via Phone) EBay, and my Credit Card Company.

    Be Vigilant

    I don't understand. Ebay user THUMBLEMINA doesn't have any offerings at this time and no completed items show up, either. The last feedback posted was from january. The FB is all positive, btw.
    What am I missing?

    The member has somehow taken the money and run. I was the BIN and paid on two auctions for 2 Morgan Dollar Lots st GREAT prices. Those auctions now are gone/KAPUT... Along with the 28 other (too good to be true) auctions from Saturday.

    Apparently this individual Zhang has hijacked Thumblemina and is using if for fraud.

    Hello-
    Please do not send any money. I was part of an ebay scam.
    There are no coins, as i did not put up any of these items for sale. Please cancel anything that you have done, really sorry. I don't know how this happened.

    Bone, there is another possibility that his / her ebay account was hacked. This problem is getting quite "common" these days, especially with ridiciously rare Russian coins sold by "ukraine" sellers.
