    Good Morning...

    I don't think anyone here will order anything from this shop - but you never know, so I'd better put this warning against this fake shop once.

    It's about the shop "Old Coin Price".
    https://oldcoinprice.com/product-category/ancient-coins/



    The shop owner has stolen pretty much all the coin information (pictures, headlines, description) - from us VCoins dealers and our shop pages - and lists them in his shop. He doesn't use anything of his own - it's all copied. We are currently trying to take action against the shop somehow - which is of course difficult as the location is probably India.

    Probably no one here will order from this shop - but still a warning, it is enough if only one collector does not fall for this fake shop.

    The registrar is with godaddy. I'd file an official complaint with godaddy as they are hosting copyright and potentially phishing for personal information.

    Speed is of the essence.

    The next problem that we VCoins traders have just discovered.

    Many traders - including me - have their company logo or even the company name as copyright protection in the images. The scammer also uses these images.

    So it COULD look to the layman like this shop is a similar portal to VCoins - where well known dealers offer their coins. If a customer orders and does not get any goods - the impression could arise that the customer ordered on this platform directly from the trader (as with VCoins) and now does not get his goods from the trader (and not the operator of the fake shop is guilty).

    As it looks, this man has copied all the merchants from VCoins.

    Therefore, do not be deceived when you see coins with company logos or names of well-known and reputable traders!
