Fake perth mint gold certicard

[billybob888]

Just bought a fake perth mint gold certificard off ebay. Knew it was too good to be true. Didnt even need the sigma, the bar was way too thick, but everything else is pretty close to the real thing

How much?

 

[billybob888]

$25 under spot
Just lodged a return item claim

Wasn't $25 under spot enough of a giveaway that it was fake?

It's really disappointing that eBay allow this sort of shit to continue to happen

I don't think I would ever buy a certicard, sovereign etc off eBay. Just not worth the risk at all.

I bought a 1oz Walking liberty round off ebay that was good enough to convince our sole local coin store until I turned back from the door and asked to put it on their scale- 28gms

Ouch ... any chance you can get your money back from them?

 

[billybob888]

Definitely wont have trouble getting my money back since its ebay and paypal. Thats why I bought it, cos i know ill get it back it if was fake

 

[sammy]

That's good to hear, but its a bloody good knock off though.

Got a full refund (including postage cost), seller didnt even ask me to ship it back
He initially claimed it tested okay at bullion dealer

haha so sounds like he knew it was fake. Ebay should remove his account.

btw did he show a pic of the side on ebay? The thickness is a dead giveaway! Also the overlapping kangaroo prints on the boarder.
