Scammer: Nathaniel Valencia
Do not purchase any product from Nathaniel Valencia. He claimed he had postcards from his father’s estate and has yet to ship items. I found out later he took images off of Worthpoint. Worthpoint doesn’t typically show-up in on-line searches unless you go to the Worthpoint site. If any one sends you images of items, please check Worthpoint to make sure they weren’t taken from there. I don’t even know if Nathaniel Valencia is the seller’s real name. His story checked out because I found an obituary matching his father’s. Beware.

Stolen Images
The seller also took images from Collector’s Universe Forum photos.

?
So, was this an eBay transaction? Craigslist? Facebook? How did you pay - PayPal?, Credit card?
|
I paid via PayPal “Friends and Family” as I have done repeatedly over the years without an issue (through email and texting). I guess I was lucky in the past, but not now. I’ve always had sellers be upfront and honest. This was a first. I will have to be extremely careful from now on. I’ve collected since 1981. Never happened before.
|
Outside of this board, I pay the extra 3%. Too many scammers these days.
|
it's gotten really bad out there...many are trying to take advantage. Always protect yourself...PP goods and services.
|
I’ll have to from now on. Thanks for the advice.

I was burned on a different forum by a longtime member with an impeccable reputation. Package was lost and basically got the runaround, then he disappeared from the board. Now I pay by G&S and add the fees, always. |

He was trying to scam here though our PM system before Leon banned him
