<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Blake Davis, post: 26408078, member: 91820&quot;]Something really bizarre just happened - I kept on getting notes from UPS that it was going to deliver a parcel to my house - although I receive coin shipments at my work address - and that when it showed up I would have to pay $597 to UPS presumably for tariff charges.&nbsp; Also it was from Boxtal France, from CDMA - a known French coin dealer.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have probably purchased coins from CDMA but if so it would have been in the distant past - and I have not been able to get in touch with the company since they are not on ebay, nor Numisbid or Biddr, which are the auctions houses I use to buy coins for my collection.&nbsp; My recollection is that CDMA is a bit on the pricey side.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any ideas? If this is a scam it is pretty sophisticated since it has UPS collecting the money - I was not able to shell out $597 just to purchase a mystery box which might be a catalogue or something.&nbsp; Since my wife was the one who answered the door for UPS I have no idea what was in the parcel only I was not going to pay $597 to see it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I will look on the internet and find out if this is the latest scam, but it does to seem to me to be very good - who would pay this kind of money for something they did not order?&nbsp; And CDMA is a coin auction house.</p><p><br /></p><p>P.S. I have received coins lately from Europe no tarriff charges including a worn Plotina sestertius I was able to considerably improve with a bit of olive oil.&nbsp; I always wanted an example and will show it shortly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
