[QUOTE="clembo, post: 270565, member: 8033"]I think many of you will find this interesting and some may even know of this person(s). I got an email from a friend that I met on Overstock. I used to give him a lot of advice on auctions such as should he bid, how reputable does the seller appear etc. Long story short this guy did get burned a few times. I have not sold anything at auction in quite a while but got an email from him the other day. Here's the main body of it. "I remember telling you sellingmylifelongcoincollection reminded me of rrantiquesandcollectibles. I received a letter from a postal inspector today asking for some info and copies of checks etc. the letter states Re: Robert Swanson, aka Donald Albers, Richard Faile, David Pace, sellingmylifelongcoincollection, US Rare Coins, United States Rare Coin Co, Bureau of Coins, and possibly other names/businesses to be determined. Jamie Rene Smith, aka Rene Smith, Jamie Swanson, rrantiquesandcollectibles, rene's Antiques and possibly other names/businesses to be determined. There may still be hope of receiving my coins someday, the post office is holding them (letter implied) for evidence and proof of ownership is established. They stiffed me for close to $400.00" I actually do remember emailing the seller sellingmylifelongcollection at one point as it seemed real suspicious to me. Well, guess I was right. I would not doubt if this piece of human trash has infected ebay as well. If you recognize anything here or have burned by same I can provide you with more information. Hope they nail his butt to the wall! clembo[/QUOTE]
