<p>[QUOTE="Charles Brooks, post: 6038852, member: 94453"]Like a complete idiot I fell for that ad the first week of January. I read the entire website closely and followed every link to see where it went. I was looking at all the fine print and even called the number given in the "Contact Us" section at the bottom. Got an answer machine so I left a message. Was told via email that they buy in bulk (large bulk} in advance of the release so they get a huge discount and can afford to sell at below cost for a short time with each new series of coins. OK. So I fell for it and decided to test it and see. If it was a scam I was only out 10 bucks and I would spread the info around that it was a rip-off. After 3 weeks waiting for the coin I called the number again since I got no tracking info. Some guy answered and said he was sick of getting calls all day and had no coins for sale. He said he lived in Maine and the ad claims to be in montana ! Live and learn ! The silver bug hit me about a year ago and I was just getting tired of the elevated prices on all the auction sites and took a chance. Never again.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
