I won this Julia Paula denarius for 117 euros on January 24, 2008.
It is a fake and I returned the coin and received an email confirmation on
March 8 that Mr. Cabanzon did receive it. On April 16, 2008 I received an
email that Mr. Cabanzon would be sending me a cash refund. As of February
3, 2009 I still have not received the refund. I would avoid all
transactions with this seller.

On November 28, 2008, Mr. Sokolov contacted several VCoins dealers with a
number of small collections of stamps, world and US coins and banknotes
for sale on behalf of some local Russian collectors through his
antiquities store in St. Petersburg. None of the collections were
particularly valueable or interesting and the $10 banknote on the entry is
one example from one of the collections. The images Mr. Sokolov sent of
the two small collections of world coins and banknotes in which I was
interested showed decent store stock material and the prices for the
collections were in line with what one would expect wholesale. After some
correspondence, we settled on a down-payment of $700 for the two
collections, which were to be sent via FedEx when the wire transfer
cleared. The funds were deposited in the Alfa Bank account above on
December 23, 2008 and no further correspondence from Mr. Sokolov has been
received. I am currently working on submitting a case to the FBI for
international fraud and will update this entry as appropriate.

Stolen Credit Card Information:
American Express, Account 374604706813000, Security Code 3834
Mr. Pawel is a well-known criminal from France and has been defrauding
dealers for years. On March 13, 2007, he attempted to order four obsolete
Louisiana banknotes from my VCoins store for a total of $500 on the above
stolen Amex card. The charge was declined, but I was already familiar with
Mr. Pawel and would not have shipped the order even if the transaction
would have been approved.
DO NOT SHIP ANYTHING TO MR. PAWEL UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. YOU HAVE BEEN
WARNED. Click

Pawel.
