[QUOTE="maridvnvm, post: 2653199, member: 31620"]If a coin is currently for sale with a dealer I always contact the dealer directly with a polite email with my evidence. The larger dealers originally lost my messages in the noise but this can change over time. I NEVER expose the dealers in public but have added their images to fake reports given their permission. I am more concerned about posts in a board like this. I have many PM discussions on fakes that never make it to the public domain. If all the notifications were PM only then the fake coin might be taken as genuine by others if the owner doesn't update the status somehow. I have seen this several times. This doesn't bother me particularly because it's up to the owner who may feel embarassed at one of their own being outed. More often than not I post strong evidence in public because this possibly educated more people but I realise this might not be ideal for the owner. After the mix of responses here I am edging more towards private discussion first and asking permission of the owner before going public.[/QUOTE]
