Silver/cash donations for a central "scammer victim" pool

[BackyardBullion]

Hey all

As you may or may not be aware there was/is a situation where some members are out of pocket £100's to a rouge seller. 

I am organising a donation pool to be split up evenly as a percentage of total losses per individual. 

If you would like to dontate any silver to be forwarded onto the victims or donate cash to contribute please get in touch. 

Please message me for the address to send any donations.

If you are one of the victims of this recent issue please get in touch via direct message and we can get all your details so we can get your "claim" processed and logged against this pool.

I know a lot of people here feel very strongly about the sense of community we all have and I know there are a lot that want to help in whatever small way they can.

Thanks all

Lovely gesture, exactly following the spirit of this beautiful forum!🤗 

I want to donate 5 x 1oz silver coins/rounds in bullion condition. 

I will PM you in a minute, @BackyardBullion.

Thank you for organising this!

@BackyardBullion I have changed my mind and will donate one of my 2oz Canada Geese currently for sale. Please provide the address for delivery👍

If any members want to donate some silver without sending me any in the post I should have some silver available for sale later today

Nice batch of silver already being accumulated to help the victims.

This community is INCREDIBLE

I filmed a video to raise awareness but looks like it’s happy ending already!

Can we please have more details on the issue/scam. Sadly I am not able to spend as much time on the forum as I used to so may have missed the discussion. 

If easier and more appropriate to PM, then please do. 

Thanks!!

[BackyardBullion]

Probably best to have a watch here:

I have heard about this scam via youtube videos only.  Please could someone link to the thread on here about it as I am struggling to find it?

Not sure why I was thinking about this just now but what ended up happening with the donations? Were they held onto in case of further scams?

Yes, I have them stored in a box for a future need. 

In all honesty, I haven't had much time over the last few months to devote to working out a fair way to partially give back all the donations proportionally to the donators.

Ah that’s great, thanks for the response sir. No need to do anything at all, just wasn’t sure where it had ended up 👍🏼
