Beware of online counterfeiters

Do you remember my post, Malaysia 1972 10 sen coin? Until today, many readers who read them sms me and think that I had them for sale. Even though I already told in that post that the coin in the pictures are altered using photo software. Look like many Malaysian are easily get cheated by conman because they don't search for information and don't know how to buy thing online. I post that article because I want to educate my readers that such coins not exist. Please beware of online counterfeiters, they do exist anywhere in the world.


With so many people looking for Sa-Puloh Ringgit Watermark Agong, I also had seen an increase amount of these kind of notes on Internet, especially in mudah.my. For your information, all those notes are counterfeit, just to satisfy a demand by Malaysian who are looking a high profits from the notes sales. Some of the buyers who sms me told that a Bomoh/Pawang/Shaman asked them to look for the notes for money making opportunity. Online counterfeiters will make these banknotes for you and sell them at higher price.

For me, this are just money making opportunity for online counterfeiters. Some just altered the notes and coins using software without even having the actually coin or notes. When you already bank-in the payment, they will never reply your email or sms. Even if you report them to Police, they will most probably go away since the name used to bank-in owned by third party who never meet them before. To all my readers, stop looking for something that don't exist. Its better for you to learn making money online without sacrificing a single cents from your pocket.

PS: You can read Malaysia coins list in my old post about "nilai duit lama Malaysia" (Malaysia old coin value). If there is no price on the list, thats mean that coins are not minted for that year. If you want the latest price, you can but coins catalog by Steven Tan or KN Boon.

I also had been missing an auction of a very nice Brunei 1 cent 1887 coin in MNS auction recently. If I had at least read Dickson Niew blog before the auction started, I most probably have the opportunity to delete them in my wish list.
