The Ebay Junk Drawer Lot of Silver Coins Scam

Most of these listings sport a photo like this – Naturally what you get is accurate to the description which does NOT include a treasure chest of coins.  An example of a description is as follows:

… AT LEAST FIVE OLD UNCIRCULATED PRE-1964 U.S. SILVER COINS
(THAT’S RIGHT! EVERY LOT WILL CONTAIN A MINIMUM OF 5 UNCIRCULATED PRE-1964 U.S. SILVER COINS! THESE LOTS WILL NOT LAST AT THIS PRICE SO BUY THEM NOW WHILE YOU STILL CAN!)
 
… AT LEAST TWO (2) DIFFERENT DENOMINATIONS OF OLD U.S. SILVER COINS
(FROM DIMES TO DOLLARS, EVERY COIN INCLUDED WILL BE PRE-1964 AND WE WILL MAKE SURE EVERY LOT CONTAINS AT LEAST TWO DIFFERENT DENOMINATIONS SO YOU’RE GUARANTEED TO RECEIVE MORE THAN JUST MODERN DIMES LIKE OTHER SELLERS OFFER!)
 
… AT LEAST ONE (1) PIECE OF REAL GOLD
(ONLY .999 FINE 24K GOLD BARS, COINS AND PIECES WILL BE FOUND HERE! ABSOLUTELY NO FLAKES, NO NUGGETS AND NO JUNK!)
 
… AT LEAST ONE RARE .999 FINE SILVER BAR OR ROUND
(FROM ONE OF THE MOST RESPECTED PRECIOUS METAL REFINERIES IN THE WORLD! NO TINY PLATED JUNK OR SILVER GRAINS… ONLY SOLID, QUALITY, COLLECTIBLE .999 FINE SILVER BARS AND ROUNDS HERE!)
 


… AT LEAST TWO (2) SILVER COINS FEATURING ICONIC PRESIDENTS
(BOTH ARE SURE TO MAKE WONDERFUL SHOW PIECES AND ARE TRULY IMMACULATE COINS WITH REAL NUMISMATIC VALUE THAT REPRESENT AMERICAN HISTORY!) 


… AT LEAST TWO DIFFERENT AUTHENTIC GEMSTONES
(STUNNING GEMS RANGING FROM DIAMONDS AND RUBIES TO EMERALDS, OPAL AND MORE! WE'LL MAKE SURE EVERY BAG HAS AT LEAST TWO AND THEY'LL BOTH BE DIFFERENT!)


… AT LEAST ONE CANVAS BAG
(EACH AND EVERY LOT WILL COME IN ITS OWN INDIVIDUAL CLOTH CANVAS BAG FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE!)


… AT LEAST ONE FULL BAG OF OLD U.S. SHREDDED PAPER CURRENCY
(GUARANTEED TO BE FROM MULTIPLE DIFFERENT DENOMINATIONS OF BILLS! SHREDDED BY THE BUREAU OF ENGRAVING & PRINTING DUE TO THEIR AGE, THESE BAGS ARE BOUND TO MAKE WONDERFUL CONVERSATION PIECES!)


… AT LEAST ONE PROTECTIVE HOLDER FOR EVERY COIN AND PIECE OF BULLION
(WE PROMISE TO INCLUDE THE EXACT NUMBER OF PROTECTIVE HOLDERS NECESSARY TO PROTECT EVERY ITEM INCLUDED IN THIS LOT AND ULTIMATELY HELP PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT!)

Now that seems to be enough to dazzle and confuse the prospective buyer. I saw the comments of several disappointed buyers while sifting through this ebay grift.

RansomWare Attack in Europe based on Petya

Was notified by a friend in the USA that their company is under ransom ware attack and the miscreants are asking 300 USD equivalent in BitCoins to free each device.  They mentioned Petya.  With all this being so wide spread I did a cursory check to see what is going on.   It is notable to me that I keep hearing about hospitals being affected.  Perhaps some of those cheap Indian I.T. workers that hospitals are using are moonlighting?

In windows 7 there are no hooks in Control Panel to turn smb1 on and off.  They suggest editing the following registry key.  To enable or disable SMBv1 on the SMB server, configure the following registry key: When I attempted this there was no entry for SMB1.  I created it and set it equal to zero.  Not sure if that will help me.

Registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters                 

Registry entry: SMB1 
REG_DWORD: 0 = Disabled 
REG_DWORD: 1 = Enabled 
Default: 1 = Enabled

The Mena Connection Exposing the CIA, Bush, Clinton, Iran Contra, And Drug Running

Bush Senior, Clinton, Bush Junior and Obama were all CIA agents from early in their lives.  That's why you see the CIA fighting against Trump and obviously so.  Reagan was likely shot because CIA wanted Bush Sr in as their figure head to rubber stamp operations.  Doubts? Start tearing your doubts down with the following documentary on Mena Arkansas operations and the ties to Bill Clinton.

Notes

  • Time magazine ran a disinformation campaign for the CIA to attempt to discredit stories about Mena that were coming out
  • Both Bush Sr and Bill Clinton were involved and confirms the idea that there is a Bush / Clinton crime family.
  • DEA was complicit suggesting they exist merely to keep the price of drugs high

George Racey Jordan Diaries – How Wars are Made

George Racey Jordan (January 4, 1898, New York – May 5, 1966, Los Angeles) was an American military officer, businessman, lecturer and author. He first gained nationwide attention in December 1949 when he testified to the United States Congress about wartime Lend-Lease deliveries of nuclear technology to the Soviet Union, in the process implicating Harry Hopkins and other high officials in the transfer of nuclear and other secrets to the USSR.

  • The entire city of Leningrad was put on "relief" in 1942.  We now call it welfare.
  • Jordan's diary started because he remembered during WW1 that some officers went to jail because they ordered saddles for tanks.
