Type of a scam Counterfeit Product

Received in the mail a package of probably fake coins from a company called American Mint, P. O. Box 10, Mechanicsburg, PA 17055.  Did not order this, yet they charged his credit card.  Did away with the credit card and marked the charges as fraud.

We want to report this so that others are not bothered in this way.  What should we do with the fake coins?

Type of a scam Online Purchase

They randomly send products to people, ask them to review them and then bill them for the items. These items were never ordered nor requested by the person. They then tell you they will clear the bill but do not and send further letters saying they are sending the invoice to collections.

They are mailing product that has not been ordered. They send a coin once a month that has not been ordered or requested in any way. With it comes a bill for 89.50 unless you return it. The company is not cooperative when you call to tell them to stop.

Type of a scam Fake Invoice/Supplier Bill

My mother that is 76 with alzheimer and had received this in the mail. She purchased something once and then they kept sending her more invoices and calling her. They have been notified to cancel all contact with her and her

mailing address. And she still keeps getting invoices with 1st & 2nd reminders, sometimes they will send a coin and

sometimes she won’t receive anything. We have done everything that is needed to cancel all business with this

so called company. But they still keep harassing my mother, that doesn’t understand. And doesn’t need the

stress in her life!

Type of a scam Sweepstakes/Lottery/Prizes

Company sends a promotion letter to purchase a collector coin or knife cheap. They will send the coin without request together with another coin. Again without request! You receive an invoice 30 data later requesting payment for 2 coins. One for $4.95 and the other for $94.90. I never requested or ordered either of these coins and never accepted the coins. I trash all promotions from this company. I don’t open the mail when I see these promotions. I am now being harassed to pay for the coins. This is a scam!

Type of a scam Online Purchase

My husband saw an add in a magazine for "Collector’s Choice Offer" which read get a free Diana and Kate Engagement Ring and purchase a matching Princess Diana Pendant for $ 79.90. The offer was that if you chose to keep the pendant you would be invoiced within 30 days. Date of purchase was 4-22-15. If you chose to return the pendant, you had to call to receive a return postage label, but could keep the ring. We called immediately upon receipt of the items and stated that we wished to return the items. I called again after 2 weeks that I had not received the return label. I was told it is still being processed and that I could keep the ring. My husband mailed it back via UPS the next day, choosing not to wait for their return label. { which to this day has not arrived]..As of today 6-15-15 I received an invoice telling me that my payment of

$ 79.90 is 30 days overdue and that late fees would be applied to the invoice.
