www.T206museum and Collector Linked to Fake T206 Overprints. (continuation)

Hey Ya'll
I tried to put some code into a post in the first thread of Johns, that outed the overprint scammer. For some reason posts are not being seen too well in that thread. If you click on the number on the right, where it says "posts", you will see who posted and then if you click on one of those you can see the latter posts. It's difficult to see them otherwise. So some of the html I entered made everything after that post mostly invisible. I think we can get it back but for now we can post in this thread. Sorry about that.

it still looks like you can read all the posts but they are all boxed into your post for some reason

It's coming up fine for me. I'm on Firefox so I don't know if that makes a difference or not?

someone emailed me and said tobe is not one word-why didn't you correct me

Oh, but it is (despite what Barry might say about your "massacring" the English language).

I saw that Jim, but if I corrected every spelling, grammar, and usage error on the board it would become a full time job.

No sweat here Leon, don't beat yourself up over it, anything new is going to have a few little kinks to work out. Although I am old and have a million kinks I can't work out.

I too saw posts within posts but I figured the latter poster was just using the prior poster's words to show what they are commenting against?

Seems reasonable

Thanks for the words of support. Now I know "not" how to try to post a picture. Don't use one of the little html tag thingys. Also, after I did that I couldn't even edit or delete that post. It's like I locked myself out of it. So I started this thread. I did go ahead and make the original thread a sticky and will leave it for a few days, or so.

I got an email yesterday from the scammer. He said he was going to make an apology on the board. I think we are still waiting.....regards

[danmckee]

Yes I must have missed the apology, hopefully he will be compensating the people with the other fakes as well. Dano

Very satisfying to see this guy get exposed. I remember that Dan was on to "tfever" years back and the guy knew it, as he would take anonymous potshots at him on the old board.

This is yet another example of how people who go to crazy lengths to remain anonymous are almost always scammers (see the user Cashews for one recent example). Wanting privacy is understandable, but wanting to be unknown should raise a red flag.

Kudos to Jim and John!

60 Minutes, where are you?

Dan, I'm pretty certain that while we may see yet another apology in badly broken English none of his victims will see a penny in restitution -- unless it's pulled from him by a prosecutorial body.

[barrysloate]

He claims on his own thread that only one buyer of an overprint back was scammed, so if there are others they need to come forward.
