SOMETHING NOT RIGHT HERE

[SILVERFINGER]

Ok I noticed this today, a zero 0 feedback seller is selling Silvertraders 1kg bars in Silvertraders wooden boxes for only £400 quid, he says he has loads available, then says you would have to wait 20 days for them to be made (while he leaves the country ??) this stinks of a scam what do you guys think ? his bad spelling twice is also suspicious.

Well done @SILVERFINGER for picking up on this, and for letting Martin at Silver Trader know about it - nice one!

I might be wrong  we will have to see.

[BackyardBullion]

Yep, definitely something fishy going on. 

Mind you if bad spelling is a bad sign my website is probably in all kind of trouble!

[Fastnick]

@SILVERFINGER I don't think you are.

As soon as I saw your post, I rang Martin (unaware that you'd already been in touch with him to flag this up), and he is also very suspicious/dubious...…………..

[SILVERFINGER]

I have started asking the seller some questions about what he is selling lets see what he replies, if anyone else wants to we can compare bull notes.

Good idea!

I'm on it now

[UKStacker]

Lots of other stuff for sale too

[SILVERFINGER]

On his other lots he has, 

Quote

'if not received within 22 days of purchase you will recive a full refund for the item'

This raises suspicion too, makes me think, 'let me fob you off while I do a runner and dont worry paypal will compensate you'

Looks well dodgy.  You can report the listing on eBay as suspected fraud.

There are a lot of different backgrounds to the photos.  You would expect if he had the items in hand that most of the photos would have the same background.  I suspect he has just grabbed a load of photos from Google or others peoples listings.

I did a google image search but could not find an exact match, though this is not foolproof.

Yeah I've been trying too but can't find any matches.  He'd only have to crop it to fool the image search though I think.

Or get a picture from a private viewing only forum, pictures uploaded to my militaria forum are not viewable in google image searches.

Delivery estimated as Saturday March 23 so contradicts the 20 day lead time.

Are there some foreign coins in that lot too but no mention of them in the listing?

[Scuzzle]

You just can't touch anyone with zero feedback, they have nothing to lose by screwing you.

I spotted this one last night as well, £26.66 on a watch that is usually £70 or more and includes postage from Australia.

[SILVERFINGER]

Sorry but that is dodgy as f#@k 

[SILVERFINGER]

So if its scrap silver (pretending he is not a scammer  )  it wont be .999 lol

[Fastnick]

This just in.....

[Fastnick]

Realistically, there is no way this should take 14 days; will therefore be giving this one a VERY wide berth

[SILVERFINGER]

You gits I asked him first and I get this reply, he is willing to sell to you pair but not me PAH.
