<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NPCoin, post: 628676, member: 5629&quot;]I do not believe it is really new. It&#039;s just the fact that the internet makes it easier to do.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I would have to disagree with you in this point. It is in no way a problem that the laws do not exist, nor that the laws are not enforced. It is the fact that people are simply not reporting the illegal activity! The Secret Service investigates all matters of counterfeiting, including the sale, as well as utterance, of such.</p><p><br /></p><p>Have you filed a complaint with the Secret Service lately on any coins you see were counterfeits being sold? Are you sure enough, beyond doubt, that said coins are, in fact, counterfeit? Are you willing to testify or give deposition regarding the authenticity of said alleged counterfeit? Are you willing to put your name to a written affidavit?</p><p><br /></p><p>These are very serious questions. If you are not wiling to do such, then really, do you think you should be making the accusations at all? I get very vocal on issues when I deem it is necessary. But, I also take proactive steps against what I see as a possible legal wrong. If more people did this, then we would likely see less and less of these illegal activities occurring.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>No further legislation is needed. If investigation is required, it <b>will</b> happen. If you want to see the investigations happen, start filing the official complaints with the proper government agencies. The Secret Service, The Federal Trade Commission, the States&#039; and Federal Attorney Generals&#039; Offices, the Postal Inspectors...all of them have authority to investigate various aspects of the various forms of fraud committed on eBay.</p><p><br /></p><p>Does it take time? Of course! Do you have that time? Well...if you are posting here, then you surely have time to file the official complaints with the government.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
