Type of a scam Counterfeit Product
In January 2019, I responded to a Craigslist Listing online out of the Inland Empire, Ca. for Genuine Gold Coins and bullion. I purchased two items from Charles Santos through Zelle for the amount of $2,100 total. Description: one First Strike Gold 2018-W $50 PCGS SP70 Burnished Gold Eagle for $1,150.00 and one Perth 1 oz Ebay gold bar for $950.00. Charles represented himself as a Coin Vault owner during our communication via text messaging. I recently discovered that both items that I purchased from Charles are indeed not genuine! I immediately tried to reach Charles to reason things out and get a refund but he does not respond whatsoever to my texts or calls.
