FRAUD Alert!

[USSR]

The order itself looks good to me. Actually, the shape of all the features, mintmark etc looks precise to me but it's the color of metal that seems off--could be a factor of how it was scanned though.

Regarding the seller, we know that Russia's Penal Code forbids the sale of military decorations.. So it is possible that the seller is a middleman who coordinates delivery from other locations. That said, after awhile the red flags add up... There will always be another Nevsky to scoop up, with less stress.

Yes, the item on the pictures is ok. We've discussed it already. The scammer is a fraud. I'm 100% positive. Again, he could have walked in any juwerly shop in Russia to get more for the Lenin just for gold value than the $900 he wanted for it.

Hello,

I sent the fellow seller some annoying questions about the addresses, etc. - this is the response, I got back:

"Здравствуйте! Это супруга Артема Сухих - Ольга Сухих.
Муж ночью попал в больницу с очень высоким давлением (220/140)
Сегодня утром я была в больнице. Он просил отменить все продажи и написать письма о том, что весь товар зарезервирован для тех, кто выиграл аукцион. Извините, что так получилось. Как только он выйдет из больницы (доктор сказал 10-14 дней минимум), он с вами свяжется и отправит Вам товары. С уважением, Ольга"

"Hello! It spouse Artem Dry - Dry Olga.
Her husband was in the hospital the night with a very high pressure (220/140)
This morning I was in the hospital. He asked to cancel all sales and write a letter that all goods are reserved for those who have won the auction. I'm sorry that it happened. As soon as he gets out of the hospital (doctor said at least 10-14 days), he will contact you and send you the goods. Best regards, Olga"

Very persuading

Poor fellows that already did pay their purchases last night...

*Pffff... What a story... Lol.

*I really hope nobody paid for the other items...
