Not Mine 400 TRK's w/case - Buyer Beware (1 Viewer)

[duffman]

Just thought I'd alert any other members who may run across this.

Was on the hunt for some TRK's and ran across this site selling 400 vintage TRK's with case. Looked like an excellent deal at $147.18. When I clicked "add to bag" it lowered the price to $43.99...even better at 70% off...score! After clicking on other items on this site, I noticed almost everything was $43.99. Common sense started to kick in and I thought this was strange. I was checking around the site and could not find a physical address or an email address. Only way to contact them was through the site. The name of the site "ACTIONCLUSTERS" did not match the URL which reads www.spotslatest.top. I'm pretty sure this site is bogus, but does anyone know if there is a way to verify the legitimacy of the site or find out where its located. Not very technically inclined with this sort of thing. Any tech savvy members here? @Tommy ? Looks like some words in the category's are German mixed with English. Strange.

Another thing that told me this was a scam was when I saw a thread here on PCF (started by @Godzilla28 ) that apparently shows this exact item for sale on eBay just over 2 years ago.

https://www.pokerchipforum.com/thre...e-with-pdn-initials-looking-for-trk-set.8642/

Here is the link to the item in question.

https://www.spotslatest.top/vintage...oker-chips-pdn-monogram-ex-w-case-p-8316.html

Needless to say, I didn't place an order. (n) :thumbsdown:

Edit: The site appears to be secure, but like I said, I'm not tech savvy. Considering this site is bogus, I'm not sure if clicking the link is recommended. Proceed at your own risk.

That looks like the set that sold for $950+ on eBay earlier this year.....

Thanks for the info. Being located in California makes sense.

I just can't imagine this being legitimate at that price...and free shipping to boot! Did these chips get sold to anyone here?

Probably just collect email addresses from "customers" to resell to spammers.

 

[colter ripton]

I think @pokerpig bought them

 

[MD Mike]

This is a fake site. Do you know the odds of everything being exactly $43.99?

I just went through 30 items across all different categories....


There is no way. It’s a scam

 

[BGinGA]

I think @pokerpig bought them

No, his set had different initials. I own the exact set pictured on the www.spotslatest.top web site ..... not to say that there isn't more than one.

But those pics are the same ones from the original eBay auction listed by slugmonkey in August 2017:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-19...er-Chips-PDN-Monogram-Ex-W-Case-/122647843194
https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/400-monogrammed-trk.22664/

Unless he raided my chip closet, those chips are not available for purchase.

I think @pokerpig bought them

I think BG is corect. that set went for over 900 on eBay earlier this year. I had some of the same colors but different stamps that I split up here around the same time. Those are not the ones I had.

 

[oONemoOo]

Scam confirmed.
Just read the "about us" section:
"Our mission is to empower females globally to be confident in themselves and be who they want to be." ... really?
