I got scammed recently on Instagram. The guy asked me to pay "friends and family " . Me being too trusting went ahead and sent F&F and now I'm out that money. Always send goods and services unless you absolutely trust the seller
@@natesandoval6917 same thing happened to me for $6000 was having two things built for me and contacted fbi and i tracked him to arizona and contacted a detective and they caught the punk !!! thank god the bank reimbursed me but had to do a lot of investigating!!
Cool rounds. We live in an era with information at your fingertips. You can find out a lot about a person in 2 mins. If you can't just move along. Always proceed with caution until trust is built.
i bought a v75 ms70 american eagle from jm bullion paid 700 plus and it came in with milk spots and they said they couldn’t do anything about it ,im disabled and cant work and i got sick and when i finally opened the package i saw the coin and contacted them and they said only 5 days to make a claim so we cant help you . i was shocked because they are a great company but that was unfortunate for me !!
Yeah JM sent me fake gold coin I called them and was told mail back after sent them photos and video of me opening box when I sent back they just sent back same coin and said I need pay to have tested with print out and video so $900 lost never buying from them again
@@clanaj1335 yeah they really dont care about us they just care about your money and once they get it ,they dont care !! wanna go class action with me lol
Rounds looks great. I actually got scammed in the exact way you called out earlier this year. Luckily I caught the transaction before it hit my bank so venmo put a hold my account but I’m not actually out any money. Your advice is spot on. My scammer had references but I believe he was acting as himself and his references. The big clue after I realized the scam was his larger social media presence. Generic posts. No likes. One comment here or there. Good video.
Heyoooo, firstly my bad for having been a bit inactive, life's been a bit hectic. But thank you so much for yet another awesome video, I couldn't agree more with regards to the level of caution needed when buying from new/unknown sellers. Being burned is never fun. Also those new Silver Rounds look super sick!! I hope to nab a few on the first auction of 2023!!!
My Dad bought Silver Eagles from China off of Ebay. He gave me one, I put a magnet on it and it stuck to it. I checked the ad and it said it was German Silver. Well German Silver is not Silver made in Germany. It is a metal alloy which is used to make cheap silverware with. It turns out that the Chinese government gives out permits to companies to produce and sell imitation coins. Since a Eagle is a Dollar issued by the U.S. selling imitation Eagles is Counterfeiting. I did complain to Ebay and my Dad got a refund. I left a strongly worded Negative Feedback for the guy on Ebay. If I had thought of it I should have also reported it to the Secret Service. Don't buy Coins from China.
@@jamesbrock1884 They may not be able to make the Chinese stop making them. But how about Ebay allowing a seller to sell Counterfeit Coins? Can't the Secret Service tell Ebay to ban them.
@@rayk126 yes they can but all of our coins that are not in use can be melted, redesigned and nothing can be done because it is not used in day to day work.
Hello Stormy great info for all the new people starting out . The stormy rounds WOW shiny and looks cool plus it's silver they turned out great , Did I hear you can make a design and they'll make it sounds interesting . 🤔 Later Stormy 😁👍🏾🌵
Man I would love to own one of those or the cards you made or even just a sticker for that matter. 😊 still don’t have me a stormy sticker yet. 😔 One day! Holy gees! Those rounds!! Ewwweeeeee! Noice!! Oh common man you’re not gonna tell me how much for the dies?! Doh! 😂I’m curious what they cost.
So let me get this straight. You want me to send an item before payment to someone who we never see on a social media platform. Every social media platform you mentioned throws up a red flag. Do your research, get contact information and if it doesn't feel right Pass. Nice silver round 100 probably won't last long. I'd be interested in watching a video of the process of producing them.
I don’t want you to do anything. I’m saying it’s not as much as a risk for people to send trusted, reputable sellers their items when selling before receiving payment.
Good stuff. eBay too. I made the mistake of buying from someone with less than 100 successful transactions. Tried to pass off something other than what I bought and demanded I pay for the return. Fortunately eBay stepped in. Unfortunately portcityartifacts was able to remove my negative feedback. Makes me wonder about the validity of eBays seller ratings. 🤔
I wouldn’t buy any precious metals from someone who is very well known. Like your channel,Salivate Metal or Spegtacular,etc. Instagram seems to be the format that a lot of unknown sellers try to sell metals. I don’t buy anything from them.

Oof. May I ask how much?? Sorry that happened.
@@EmpirePreciousMetals not a whole lot. It was only $100. But you feel violated still ... which is kinda bad, but kinda good too .

@@natesandoval6917 Cheap lesson. Buy from a real business.
Great video and info brother! Thanks for giving us a shoutout and for trusting us with your channel rounds 🙏
You bet! Looking forward to our next project together!
My 2 rules. Number 1 Rule. Buy the Seller. Look at sellers previous sales and ratings. No.2 Rule. Do not buy from offshore sellers.
"Test the smeagle............test that goodness of that pureness sauce."
Lmao
Thanks Stormy ❤

If you’re getting scammed it’s because you simply don’t know what you’re doing. 🤷🏼♂️
Buy only from a reputable source
Another great video Stormy. Great looking rounds too!!
Much appreciated!
Great vid! That’s why I own a Sigma mini Pro! Well worth the money!!

SD Bullion sells Sigma pro mini for a good price.
It's hard for me to trust people on buying from anyone online....I believe in empire precious metals and coin guy ....
Thanks Kate!
Man, you got some nice custom coins! 😃❣️
Lets see! I gave my son the white steak meat challenge coin. He loves it!
Haha nice!

Word is straight from FBI and Secret Service to me that the fed gov can not do anything about other countries minting USA coins or currency .
