  1. Anytime we are considering buying a "lot" of activated coins, we ask for the public tracking numbers (TBXXXXX) to be sure that they are all owned by the same person. We had another similar experience about 6 months ago when we received a "lot" that we purchased without doing our homework and three of the ten coins in the group were owned by different individuals. I contacted the owners and was able to get their coins back in their hands and was lucky enough to be surprised with some unactivated coins in the mail after they received their coins.The two things that really tipped me of was that several coins had missions in the flips and the description stated that they had been "found" in NY/NJ. We lost our first trackable that was released and that really sucked, so we try to do what we can to reunite lost coins with their owners.

     

    All of that being said, we would like to think that all involved were "newbies" and have now been educated on trackables and their handling.

  2. Great job in finding and stopping this!

     

    I am curious how you knew these were not the property of the seller?

    Obviously the listing for “new coins” and the pictures are wrong. What other clues can you share for the rest of us to be on the look out for?

    Was this someone how is naive about the game?

    Do you think this was malicious?

     

    The reasons I am pondering these questions; I buy a lot of my coin off the auction site, and I do not want to promote any thief. In the past I have bought 2 coins that was not the property of the seller, and when I tried to activate them, it lead me to the real owners. I sent the coins back to the owners and filed complaints with PayPal, and got my money back. Both times I was told by the sellers that they had found the coins, and thought they were theirs to do with what they wanted. Again it is the fine line between outright theft, naïve players and muggles. But the fact of how they listed these on the auction site makes me wonder.

    2 clues... "My son found all of them in ny and nj and want to send them away some are rare", and some have 'mission tags' attached

  3. In my mailbox today I got to pickup a couple of trades, Thank you LadyBee4T and TeamEccs21 for the great coins. Also a wonderful surprise but I'll answer to that in the appropriate posting, thank you mystery giver.
