Much better than risking having the feds (or Mike) after you.
Many thanks, @nanc9354 @Patina @Steve @Ziacat @StevesTrail ! Your friendship and support is much appreciated!
Itās kind of an odd assortment of items this seller has, so that makes some senseā¦however, one needs to be careful that one knows what one has, or doesnāt make claims! (Iām pretty paranoid about that myself). Hopefully this was taken as a learning experience.
I think it was pretty clear that the mark on the cuff was not mmrogersā mark, so the seller did not do due diligence in their search. Mmrogers also said that the seller blocked him when the error was pointed out. I donāt think my email alone convinced the seller; probably more likely being reported worked.
@mmrogers glad to help, especially since you mentioned the Al Zuni case. Thatās the one my nephew worked on while he was in ABQ.
Too many people find one āmatchā on the internet and look no further- so the error/fraud perpetuates itself. So glad this instance at least has been dealt with!
People actually do that? Thats just despicable, Iām so sorry
Its ok, I understand completely.
Do you still make and sell,? I would love to see
Yes it happens, and it is far more common than most people know.
Over several days and weeks in the 90s we went into a number of businesses with Federal court judgements and a permanent federal injunction and seized suitcases full of counterfeit jewelry which we had melted down at Academy refining in Albuquerque.
Most of what was out there for my lines was tracked down, seized, and destroyed.

Wow, no words, what is wrong with peopleā¦greed.
