I laugh at the cheap and ridiculous scams some people try to pull nowadays. 

If you Google "Nicky123 Coins", you will find that another and perhaps unrelated Nicky123 has posted " I have to unfortunately sell my collection of UNDATED 20p COINS Mint Condition: More than 500 pieces Very Good Condition: 150 pieces ... " in another forum. The said person has since claimed that she has received a "good offer". 

Someone then posted "And now they're miraculously sold, without any proof. Congratulations; you win 'Least Convincing Scam, February 2017".

It's funny because the (confirmed) email address this person has used can be found here;

http://www.reliableoildealsconsultancy.com/hallofscam.html

which is a 'Hall of Scam'. If you're interested, search for 'Scam Lot #2' and it's person number 1 called 'Nicole' (matches Nicky123)

If you're going to try to scam people it helps if you make it sound at least vaguely plausible. I know sfa about coins, being a total rookie, but even I know you'd have to have your own press to have that many.

Absolutely.

They've got to get up very early in the morning to get one past us. Even if one doesn't spot a scam/liar, another one or several will.

I do find it rather ironic that her title is "Unidentified Variety" when her "variety" appears to have been identified...

Might be we need a new category "Identified Variety: "
