Armored Safe Sales Consumer Rip-Off Warning

You may be familiar with the advertisements on the back pages of newspapers done up to look like actual newspaper articles, or at least press releases of some significance, but are really just hype piled upon hype to sell the unwary public less than valuable coins. Well, today I just about lost my lunch while reading about the so-called free armored safes being doled out to the public to house the hoard of 4,100 coins they wish to sell you. It turns out that the hoard of coins is actually 4 rolls worth of prexie bux and 100 rolls worth of 2005 Bison nickels. Total face value of coins: $300.00. Cost for hoard on top of shipping for free safe: $1,862.00. Of course all the mumbo jumbo in the ad is meant to conceal these facts. They've even got a photo of the demographic target of these ads, some white-haired old biddy, smilingly accepting the free safe delivered to her doorstep by a uniformed delivery man. There's even more to write about concerning this ad, including another real looking article immediately above it urging people to start a coin collection and buy a safe as hedge against failing banks, falsely laying bait that the prexie bux are made of real gold . I've given this topic a start, and I'd like to see some others who have seen the ads chime in with their impressions. Sure, it's a lot like the usual we've come to expect, but it seems even more insidious under the current circumstances. And from what I've read, during financial bubbles, this type of deception for ruthless profit-making is all the more prevalent than at times of more sober economic practices.

I found the post, above, on a coin site, and the scam is being perpetuated by a company that's selling "armored" safes under at least this and one other ruse. If you want to buy a safe, gun safe, fire safe, and/or ANY kind of safe, call 775-358-7233. We are The Safe Place - and we are honest.
