<p>[QUOTE=&quot;HandsomeToad, post: 557404, member: 12965&quot;]Why is someone sending in an old counterfeit to have it authenticated?&nbsp; :goof:&nbsp; Why? Most likely because someone peddled it to them as authentic and for an authentic price. With the way ANACS is doing it, the person who got swindled gets their money back from the scammer (mostly Ebay scammers) and the counterfeit is taken off the streets.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Maybe you all aren&#039;t &quot;dumb&quot; enough to be taken by the scammers but I see hundreds get taken every week, so I applaud ANACS for going the extra mile and helping to remove the numistrash off the streets that has been hurting our hobby and by forcing the sellers to reimburse the buyers, it teaches them not to do it again, for fear of losing even more money.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ribbit&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ps: What if they single out Chinese sellers only? Would that make you happy? But what about the Americans that are buying the Chinese garbage, as replicas, then peddle them as authentic? I guess you&#039;d rather the sucker who bought it, learn from their mistake by losing several thousand dollars, than to have ANACS help them retrieve their hard earned money. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I am not one that supports stamping COPY on counterfeits but if they are sent in for authenticating, then fraud is a FACT and that lil boogher needs to get stamped and it will never be used fraudulently again!&nbsp; :hammer:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
