Anyone have info or opinions on INB (International Numismatic Bureau)? I seen some proof sets in these slabs and was curious. Are they legit?

Even ebay agrees.... "INB , which stands for International Numismatic Bureau, is NOT recognized nor approved by eBay" http://reviews.ebay.ca/International-Numismatic-Bureau-INB-Grading-Service?ugid=10000000018433004
Oh wow!!! Thanks for the info. Now I know why I have been staying with collecting circulated coins,,,I don't have to worry about being stung as a newbie to coin collecting. Thank you again.
INB over grades coins, but have now begun to list raw coins, and I hope websites like mine had something to do with it. I hope I saved collectors from buying their over graded coins. It's be a fight for years, but it appears to be working. Dealers, if you want to call them that, see some much money making potential in selling coins that they forsake the standards of an honest coin deal, and choose to prey on the uniformed. I think this will change in the future.
I recently bought coins from this seller and all three transactions were junk. International Numismatic Bureau is a bogus scrupulous dealer that takes advantage of honest people. He also does business as Coinsrocksgems1.com ~ CAVEAT EMPTOR! Be aware of this individual he goes by the name Charles Coyle.
scrupulous - very careful about doing something correctly. : careful about doing what is honest and morally right.
