World Currency and Coin: Ebay's Officially Endorsed Scammer & Fraudster of Choice

World Currency and Coin: Ebay's Officially Endorsed Scammer & Fraudster of Choice

I'm a primarily a buyer on eBay. I'm not a high-volume seller. A high-volume seller - and the only reason I'm naming them is that there are two Singapore-based sellers of banknotes with similar names and I don't want the other one to be mistaken for the one I suspect is causing these problems - but a high-volume seller with 30,000+ feedback and 60+ negative feedback whitewashed from their profile each month such that no matter how many they receive, their feedback profile never shows more than one or two, defrauded me out of $160, and eBay has bent over backward to harass and punish me for having the audacity to expect fair and equitable treatment as outlined by eBay rules and policies. 

Singapore-based seller "WorldCurrencyandCoin" sent me an empty envelope with a tracking number for $160. Ebay's money-back guarantee is a farce, they removed my feedback after I inquired about the whereabouts of the shipment, he said he would really send it this time, then sent me an empty envelope with a tracking number. And eBay not only looked the other way, they actively encourage that kind of fraudulent, criminal behavior.

100 Trillion dollar bill (Zim Bond)If you're on eBay buying currency or coins and the seller is in Singapore, buy from the other major seller. If you buy from Singapore-based eBay seller WorldCurrencyandCoin he will steal your money.

I've dealt with WorldCurrencyandCoin on three occasions. Being in Singapore amid the scamdemic, I was extremely patient as I awaited my 2,000,000 VND (4 x 500,000) Vietnamese Dong polymer banknotes.

While I don't sell a ton of different banknotes, if you need to buy Iraqi Dinar or a 2008 Zimbabwe 100 Trillion dollar bill please come and stop by my store instead. If you can't find what you're looking for there, you'd be better off going with literally any other eBay seller offering the products you're looking for than dealing with that thief. He averages 60+ negative feedback each and every month, and eBay takes great care to delete them all so it appears as though he's running a clean operation to anyone whom he and eBay haven't victimized already.

There was a separate occasion while I was patiently awaiting the arrival of my VND when I purchased a listing he had stated was for 20 million VND in the title, however the fine print contradicted that and stated that it was only ten million. I assumed it was an innocent mistake until I noticed he refused to edit the listing so that prospective buyers wouldn't be duped into paying for twice what they'd be receiving when I saw the same listing worded in identical fashion to the order I refused to pay for because of World Currency and Coin's duplicitous and misleading sales tactics.

This is a person with no ethics or morals who would pickpocket a starving cancer patient if he thought he could get away with it. Arguably the worst part of this entire story is that eBay fully endorses and condones this criminal behavior, which for the purchase I made on June 25 has risen to the level of fraud.

Peter Egan's First TV Ad


Peter Egan's First TV Ad


Peter Egan has long had an affinity for talk radio, especially sports talk radio. Unfortunately, Peter doesn't have the kind of voice that is needed to thrive as a professional talk show host. He does however have a face for Television, and got his first taste of being on TV during the fall of the 2015 and 2016 when the ad ran regularly on Fox 8 New Orleans, including during a number of New Orleans Saints football games.



Peter Egan TV Commercial



As a result of the ads running during Saints games on the network on which all games are televised, complete strangers regularly approach Peter to ask if he's 'that guy I saw on TV?'

Peter's mind was blown at the number of people who remembered his face from seeing it in a TV ad in which his face is not even visible for the whole ad, and is only featured for six or seven seconds.

The advertisement is for EGAN Home Health and Hospice, southeast Louisiana's premiere provider of home health care, hospice and palliative care services as well as medical staffing and private-duty sitting services and related home care and other caregiving, respite and companionship services.

For what it's worth, EGAN's claim to being the premiere home health agency in the region is not an opinion. There are facts obtained by an objective third-party (Medicare via its "Home Health Compare" ratings system). This factual information for every legit agency (legit being defined as being Medicare certified) and therefore subject to their routine scrutiny and comparisons between agencies as well as how each company ranks relative to state and national average scores for a given category, nearly all of which measure the quality of care in quantifiable terms.

EGAN routinely outperforms virtually (if not) all other companies in both the state and nation in approximately 97-99% of the quality of care metrics taken into consideration.

More information about this is available on the EGAN Home Health and Hospice blog. This includes screenshots, direct quotes from Medicare.gov and other related info. There are a number of screenshots, so someone who may not be very good at navigating the web can see exactly what Medicare has said about EGAN and how EGAN towers over the competition when it comes to the actual quality of the healthcare services they provide.






While the ad directly above (click the play button to see the commercial) may have been Peter's first appearance in a television commercial, it will almost certainly not be his last. Peter is nearing completion of a website for a business he had hoped to launch in August but was delayed as the development of the interactive site was more complex than anticipated. However, the business will still launch when it's ready, and when it does, if you watch TV or listen to sports talk radio you'll be seeing and/or hearing Peter in future ads to promote the launch of the new company.


While he's been very tight-lipped about the soon-to-launch business, he has been quoted as saying that in the words of President Donald Trump, it will be "Yuge."
