<p>[QUOTE="Jim Dale, post: 8395248, member: 100459"]I "bought" a roll of Morgans that never got delivered. I tried contacting with no response. I finally did get a refund. My thoughts are "Don't buy rolls on ebay."</p><p>Also, this is not related to coins directly, but my computer was locked up by someone claiming to be Microsoft. I got scammed for about $500. It was an expensive lesson. Also, someone was able to buy XBOX cards or something. It was $100. I contacted Amazon and they sent me an email telling me that they had investigated it and they could find no wrong. Now, if I buy anything from Amazon, I will put my credit card in and when I find that it has been shipped, I delete my VISA numbers. No problem on that item, but there are other things that are recurring monthly purchases that it's not practical, so I did away with Amazon Audible, and almost every place that has a recurring monthly payment charged to my VISA. Over this past several months, we have been scammed over $1K, without any recourse. I definitely don't buy over the internet unless I HAVE to have something. At 73, I can't afford to start all over earning money that has been stolen from me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
