<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Juan Blanco, post: 1658272, member: 41665&quot;]I agree it&#039;s fair &amp; prudent to wonder about online site purchasing.&nbsp; Scams DO exist, certainly. <i>Caveat emptor. </i>But at what point does Caution actually slip into Paranoia, become totally irrational?&nbsp; </p><p>When it&#039;s wildly inconsistent, divorced from common-sense, wrong-headed kooky... right?</p><p><br /></p><p>Consider the fact that Bernie Notthouse was proven a fraudster in many, many ways: he&#039;s a convicted criminal. This is not debatable. </p><p>But <i>that FACT </i>doesn&#039;t stop anyone here from <i>happily trading <u>his</u> product online with complete strangers</i>, right?&nbsp; </p><p>o.k., so scruples here are loosey-goosey and we do trust strangers after all.&nbsp; Or mostly, anyway.</p><p><br /></p><p>So: why would anyone here <i>assume </i>&quot;New Liberty Dollars&quot; are a scam?&nbsp; Please help me to understand this, an apparent double-standard.&nbsp; </p><p>I&#039;ve posted enough about the dude, Google &quot;Free Liberty Dollars&quot;&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>In your mind, what is the <i>likelihood </i>a website coin scammer would share (<i>not only </i>his entire adult life/professional work experience &amp; very personal photos, but also) that he drives a purple car, farms alapacas &amp; keeps bees?&nbsp; (And it took me less than 45 seconds to find that info, after whois lookup, I couldn&#039;t make this up if I tried!) Call me gullible, but I put that particular profile &#039;Scam Risk&#039; at about ZERO, honestly.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>But other people didn&#039;t see that, obviously.&nbsp; Instead, <i>in that website </i>they see a trap, a con!&nbsp; Fair enough.&nbsp; Can you be more specific, why? </p><p>Is the <i>vacant website </i>itself too spooky?&nbsp; Is that blank template a red flag to bullion buyers?&nbsp; Something else, worrying? </p><p>(IMO,<i> inattention to personal touch </i>is exactly what I&#039;d expect from a webstore owned by a serious nerd/quirky tech type w/unusual and solitary hobbies.)&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not telling ANYONE to buy ANYTHING anywhere,<b> I&#039;m only asking how folks form opinions about and understand &#039;safe buying&#039; stuff like Norfeds online.&nbsp; </b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
