The FBI is warning about a scam involving collectible coins.
The scam has impacted over 100 victims in at least 30 states according to officials.
It starts when scammers “cold call” victims to market their alleged collectible coin business. If victims already have collectible coins, the scammer may travel to the home and offer to take the coins to have them appraised. However, they either keep the coins or only provide a small amount of money for the collection.
The FBI says many of these scammers are targeting seniors.
They encourage residents to be cautious if they get an unsolicited call about purchasing or selling coins. The FBI also says to not pay in advance for collectible coins or do not give them to anyone who wants to take them for appraisal.
