Collectible Coin Scams

收藏硬幣詐騙

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.

騙子「推銷」受害者，推銷其所謂的收藏硬幣業務。如果受害者已經擁有可收藏的硬幣，他們會向受害者承諾出售這些硬幣可以獲得高額回報。在某些情況下，詐騙者會前往受害者的家中，並提出將受害者的硬幣收藏品進行評估或出售。如果詐騙者從受害者那裡獲得可收藏的硬幣作為擬議評估或出售的一部分，他們隨後會向受害者提供少量金錢或價值明顯較低的硬幣，並保留受害者的硬幣。

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.

詐騙者也可能向受害者出售據稱具有重大價值的收藏硬幣。他們使用高壓手段強制出售，例如虛假的即將拍賣或低價出售，以迫使受害者立即購買收藏硬幣。最終，受害者永遠不會收到他們預先支付的代幣。
