Yes, as you are all well aware of now, our nice hobby with valuable collectible items, has been the target of "hucksters", trying to rip us off with bogus items. What to
do, report them, here are links below to do just that. Selling fake items online can be a serious criminal offense, possibly involving Wire Fraud and Mail Fraud. The more people that file reports, the more likely action
will be taken against the "hucksters", so do your duty, file those reports!
Where to report fraud
Internet Fraud Complaint Center
- partnership between the FBI and the National White Collar Crime Center, specializing in fraud committed on the Internet
