Collectible Coin Scams

收藏硬币诈骗

Scammers “cold call” victims to market their alleged collectible coin business. If victims already have collectible coins, they promise them a high rate of return for selling the coins. In some instances, scammers travel to victims’ homes and offer to take victims’ coin collections to have them appraised or to sell them. If scammers obtain collectible coins from victims as part of a proposed appraisal or sale, they later provide a small amount of money or coins of significantly less value to the victims and keep the victims’ coins.

骗子“推销”受害者，推销其所谓的收藏硬币业务。如果受害者已经拥有可收藏的硬币，他们会向受害者承诺出售这些硬币可以获得高额回报。在某些情况下，诈骗者会前往受害者的家中，提出将受害者的硬币收藏品进行评估或出售。如果诈骗者从受害者那里获得可收藏的硬币作为拟议评估或销售的一部分，他们随后会向受害者提供少量金钱或价值明显较低的硬币，并保留受害者的硬币。

Scammers may also offer to sell collectible coins of allegedly significant value to victims. They use high pressure tactics to force a sale, such as fake imminent auctions or distressed sales, to coerce victims into promptly purchasing collectible coins. Ultimately, victims never receive the coins, for which they paid in advance.

诈骗者还可能向受害者出售据称具有重大价值的收藏硬币。他们使用高压手段强制出售，例如虚假的即将拍卖或低价出售，以迫使受害者立即购买收藏硬币。最终，受害者永远不会收到他们预先支付的代币。
