List of 66 Abused Elderly from Sun Grove Resort Village (40 Have DIED with NO Justice)

SUN GROVE RESORT VILLAGE (SGRV)

ABUSED SENIORS


My wife, Carol, and I are elder abuse victims and senior financial exploitation victims of Sun Grove Resort Village (SGRV) which is located at: 10134 W. Mohawk Lane, Peoria, AZ 85382. We lived at SGRV from October 2007 to October 2009.




SGRV was one of the 23 senior living facilities which were involved with the largest California Ponzi Scheme, AREI/OAKDALE HEIGHTS, which stole $250 million from 2,000 investors. The Master Mind of the Ponzi Scheme, James Koenig, received a 43 year prison sentence based upon our documentation of the elder abuse that over 2,500 seniors suffered.  




SGRV is a senior living facility which was run by a 2005 Medicare Fraud Felon, Scott Green, for nearly eight years until August 28, 2012, when he was terminated by the 20 Investors/Owners for suspected embezzlement. Scott Green was picked up by the feds for Parole Violations and sent back to prison in Boston.




SGRV went bankrupt and was recently sold for half the value (approx. $2.5 million) to HOAZILLA, LLC . It is reported that SGRV's 88 units, restaurant, and club house is being remodeled. It is reported that HOAZILLA, LLC is changing SGRV's name. 




We will never forget the abused and defrauded elderly SGRV residents that did not received any justice, 
they are:

1. Elliot Alberts
2. Rosemary Alberts 
Mrs. and Mrs. Alberts were victims of SGRV's false advertising and exploitation. Once the Alberts discovered that SGRV was an Impostor Assisted Living Facility with an Impostor Nurse they moved. SGRV filed a Baseless Lawsuit and was awarded a wrongful judgment against the Alberts for $10,502.00.

3. Laura Lee Boyd (Deceased) 
Ms. Boyd was a victim of SGRV's false advertising and exploitation. Ms. Boyd was confined to her scooter because she was unable to walk. She moved to SGRV for the promised medical care and the availability of a nurse. Her condition worsened and she was unable to transfer and SGRV failed to provide her the promised needed medical services. Ms. Boyd discovered that Claudia Marquez was not a licensed nurse and that she was unable to care for Ms. Boyd's medical needs. Ms. Boyd needed to move to a licensed assisted living facility. SGRV's manager forced Ms. Boyd to leave her sit-down tub which she installed at SGRV without any remuneration and forced to pay $6,000 to break her lease early. Ms. Boyd wrote in her notarized affidavit that she was defrauded by SGRV.




4. Tess Burges (Deceased)
5.  David Burges
Mrs. Burges was a victim of SGRV's Fair Housing Violations for fighting for the rights of the other SGRV Residents. Mrs. Burges was a member of the Ambassadors' Group which was an elected group of SGRV seniors that presented problems to SGRV management. SGRV's Scott Green retaliated and raised her apartment rent an extra several hundred dollars because she fought for the other SGRV Residents' Fair Housing Rights. Mrs. Burges was forced to move and leave her apartment upgrades without any remuneration because of the SGRV Retaliation.

Mr. Burges suffered the loss of his wife who died shortly after her SGRV elder abuse and financial exploitation. The Burges' were forced to move to Desert Winds Senior Living Facility, which is across the street from SGRV.





6.  Sally Byers (Deceased)
Ms. Byers was a victim of SGRV's Fair Housing Violations for filing a formal complaint with the Arizona Attorney General because her rights were violated.  SGRV's Scott Green banned Ms. Byers and Ms. Toedebusch from playing Bridge anywhere on the SGRV property because they would not allow a fifth player to play in a Bridge game. The card game Bridge cannot be played with five players. Ms. Byers was banned from the SGRV Club House and the Patio Area from playing Bridge and was threatened the discipline of a fine if she continued to play Bridge at SGRV. The Arizona Attorney General told Ms. Byers and Ms. Toedebusch to hire a lawyer and did nothing to protect their Fair Housing Rights of Equal Access to the SGRV property and activities.                                                                    

7.  Rev. Jay Confair (Deceased)
8.  Dorothy Confair
Rev. Confair was a victim of SGRV's false advertising that SGRV had a working medical alarm system. Rev. Confair was confined to a scooter and often fell down. He suffered many times when he pulled the intercom cord for help when he had fallen. His wife would come home and find Rev. Confair on the ground because SGRV personnel never responded to his intercom signals for help. Mrs. Confair suffered from the loss of her husband because it is suspected that this SGRV elder abuse hastened Rev. Confair's death. Mrs. Confair reported that SGRV’s Scott Green also stole money from her for paying excessive extra second residents fees after the death her husband.





9.  Debra Conroy
Ms. Conroy was a victim of SGRV's advertising and Baseless Lawsuits. Ms. Conroy discovered that SGRV did not have the promised medical services and moved. She faced the threat of a Baseless Lawsuit and was defrauded into paying a Lease-Breaking Fee.

10. Rose Costello (Deceased)
Ms. Costello was a victim of SGRV's poor living conditions.  Ms. Costello was appalled at the cockroach infestation at SGRV and moved out.

11. Milton Crabtree (Deceased)

12. Jeanne Duffy (Deceased)
Mr. Crabtree and Ms. Duffy lived together at SGRV and they were victims of SGRV's false advertising that SGRV was a licensed assisted living facility with a nurse. They both spent additional time in the hospital because SGRV was unable to care for their medical needs.



13. Eldon Doll
Mr. Doll was a victim of the theft of $25,000 by the SGRV caregiver, Gail Magnuson. SGRV's manger, Scott Green, threatened Mr. Doll with eviction if he reported the crime to the police. Mr. Doll lived in fear of being evicted and did not report the crime to the police.


14. Cliff Dyrland (Deceased)
Mr. Dyrland was a victim of SGRV's Fair Housing Rights Violations. Mr. Dyrland was retaliated against by SGRV's manager, Scott Green, because he was a member of the SGRV Ambassadors' Group that fought for the Fair Housing Rights of the other SGRV Residents. Mr. Dyrland was charged an extra $1,000 a month for rent because he helped protect the other SGRV Residents.

Mr. Dyrland was our main witness that would have verified SGRV's illegal landlord retaliation in the Fairall v. SGRV Trial. However, he failed to appear in court because he was in a coma from an automobile accident. The Arrowhead Justice Court's former Judge Melanie Deforest, who was forced off the Bench because she lied about her education, refused to delay the trial which violated our Fair Trial Rights.





15. Lil Eggen (Deceased)
Mrs. Eggen was a victim of SGRV's false advertising, impostor nurse mistakes, and toxic mold. Mrs. Eggen was a nurse and was shocked to learn that Claudia Marquez was an impostor nurse at SGRV who used poorly trained caregivers. Mrs. Eggen had an operation on her leg which confined her to a wheel chair. The SGRV caregiver rammed her leg into the wall which caused more pain and damage. SGRV's manager, Scott Green, refused to refund the $500 refundable deposit fee and threatened Mrs. Eggen with an erroneous carpet damage fee when she moved to Desert Winds Senior Living. Jacob Mueller, our Private Investigator, documented the elder abuse and fraud Mrs. Eggen suffered at SGRV by interviewing her son John Eggen. Mrs. Eggen lived in fear of SGRV's manager Scott Green until the day she died. John Eggen stated in his recorded interview that his mother's SGRV apartment had mold.





16. Paul Elias
Mr. Elias was a victim of SGRV's false advertising and baseless lawsuits. Once Mr. Elias discovered that SGRV was an Impostor Assisted Living Facility with an Impostor nurse, he moved. SGRV filed a Baseless Lawsuit against Mr. Elias which was settled out of court.

17. Gladys Elkins (Deceased)
Ms. Elkins was a victim of SGRV's false advertising and was threatened with a Baseless Lawsuit when she moved to obtain the medical assistance she needed. Ms. Elkins paid the extorted Breaking-Lease Fee.

18. Mark Fairall
19. Carol Ann Fairall (nee Buck)
The Fairalls were victims of SGRV's false advertising, landlord retaliation, and Baseless Lawsuits. Carol Fairall was first sued for breaking her lease when she moved because SGRV refused to fix a toxic mold problem and SGRV stopped the delivery acceptance of her medications. SGRV received a wrongful Default Judgment for that lawsuit of $2,568.36. Mark Fairall sued SGRV for $9,999.99 to recover illegally-charged service dog fees, to recover lost apartment upgrade costs, to cover the costs of a stolen countertop, and the penalty allowed by law for not maintaining a safe and healthy place in which to live. Mark Fairall lost that lawsuit because his evidence was wrongfully dismissed, his witness was in a coma, and proper Trial Procedures were not followed.

SGRV counter-sued the Fairalls for breaking their lease early and Interference of a Contractual Relationship. SGRV was awarded a wrongful Judgment of $20,667.99. This was double satisfaction of a debt which exceeded Justice Court Limitation of $9,999.99.The total SGRV wrongful judgments against the Fairalls' is $23,236.35. The exposure to the SGRV toxic mold killed the Fairalls' three dogs (liver cancer) and started the rejection of Carol's transplanted liver (he blood work shows rejection numbers 14 times higher than normal).


SGRV's Scott Green hired their lawyer, Scott E. Williams, to represent their SGRV employee and Mark Fairall's renter, George Kieffer, against Fairall's rental house eviction for nonpayment of rent. Scott E. Williams and Mark Tucker, Fairall’s former attorney, signed an Unauthorized Stipulation Agreement which waived all unpaid late rent in order to get Kieffer to move from the Fairall Rental. That wrongful agreement cost the Fairalls $9,999.99 in a recoverable lawsuit award. George Kieffer caused over $20,000 in damages to the Fairall Rental Home and wired it to burn down. George Kieffer threatened to kill Mark and Carol Fairall and stalked them at SGRV. The Fairalls obtained an Injunction against Harassment, but SGRV's Scott Green ignored the court order and gave Kieffer a key to their apartment. SGRV's attorney, Scott E. Williams, and Judge Melanie Deforest blocked their cross-examination of Kieffer which robbed the Fairalls of a Fair Trial. This was all done in Landlord Retaliation because the Fairalls fought for their and other SGRV Resident’s Fair Housing Rights. Mark Fairall served on the SGRV Ambassador Group but had to resign early because Scott Green became upset when he addressed the health issues caused by SGRV renting to seniors with highly contagious diseases such as MRSA and TB.

The Arrowhead Justice Court fully supported the SGRV Court-Sanctioned Senior Exploitation of the SGRV Felon Scott Green. All Fairall Appeals and a Fraud of the Court Motion have been denied. All the evidence and the recording of the Trial have been destroyed in the cover-up of SGRV attorney Scott E. Williams' misuse of the legal system. Eleven False Elder Care Referral Agency Contracts where SGRV's Scott Green purposely misrepresented SGRV as an Assisted Living Facility were turned over to the Arizona Attorney General for prosecution of false advertising on the internet. Nothing was done by Arizona Officials to stop SGRV's illegal activities. CHANNEL 3 ON YOUR SIDE aired the Fairalls' SGRV elder abuse, fraud, and toxic mold story.

It is interesting to note that all the SGRV criminal evidence have the attorney Scott E. Williams' "Bates Stamp" on them which is proof that the SGRV attorney is aware, condones, and supports SGRV's law- breaking activities. 
We have reported the SGRV false 11 internet advertising to the FBI, IC3, and Department of Justice.      



20. Stanley Fishman (Deceased)
Mr. Fishman was a victim of SGRV's false advertising and Fraud. Mr. Fishman became aware that SGRV is not a licensed assisted living facility. Mr. Fishman did a lot of handyman work for SGRV's Scott Green and was not paid for the work that he did at SGRV. Mr. Fishman sued SGRV to recover the monies due him.

We are very aware that SGRV does not pay their contractors or suppliers by the lawsuits against SGRV. Unfortunately, Mr. Fishman uses the court system a lot with lawsuits while trying to collect monies due him. Sadly, SGRV's lawyer Scott E. Williams has posted on his FACEBOOK for his firm legal documents filed by Mr. Fishman and calls him a "nut case." Scott E. Williams uses bullying and abusive name calling to demoralize his opposition. This is highly unethical by Scott E. Williams because he is an attorney and is held to a higher standard.

21. Pat Forst
Mr. Forst was a victim of SGRV's false advertising and a Baseless Lawsuit. Mr. Forst filed complaints with the fire department that many SGRV residents that could not walk and those who rode scooters were forced to live on the second floor. He was concerned that the SGRV elevators were often broken, and this was a health fire hazard. SGRV's Scott Green filed a Baseless Lawsuit against Mr. Forst in Retaliation when he moved because he was afraid for his life. Mr. Forst had to pay an extra Breaking-Lease Fee.

22. Lena Frei (Deceased)
Ms. Frei was a victim of SGRV's poor living conditions. Ms. Frei rode a scooter due to her inability to walk. Her scooter tipped over several times due to the uneven SGRV sidewalks which hastened her death.


23. Maxine Gordon (Deceased)
Ms. Gordon was a victim of SGRV' false advertising and poor living conditions. Ms. Gordon was forced to move when SGRV's Impostor Nurse was unable to provide the medical attention she needed.





24. George Grabach (Deceased)
25. Ruth Grabach
Mr. and Mrs. Grabach were victims of SGRV's false advertising, SGRV's inability to provide proper medical help, and having their Medical Privacy Rights violated. SGRV's Scott Green and Claudia Marquez impersonated a doctor and nurse to obtain confidential medical information from Mr. Grabach's temporary nursing home. SGRV's manager Scott Green wrote that Claudia Marquez was a nurse and that he did not have to follow the HIPAA Laws. SGRV continued to charge for a parking space after the Grabach’s had sold their truck and continued to charge the extra $425 second person rent fee after Mr. Grabach had passed away.


All this information was documented in Ms. Grabach's notarized affidavit with copies of all correspondence and documents received from SGRV's Scott Green and her letters of protest to SGRV's Scott Green. All this criminal evidence has been turned over to the Arizona Board of Nursing and the Arizona Attorney General, but nothing has been done. Claudia Marquez was warned on 05/25/05 to stop impersonating a nurse, but she continues to do so today which puts the SGRV Senior Residents at risk.





26. Ann Graham (Deceased)
Ms. Graham was a victim of SGRV's false advertising and Landlord Retaliation. Ms. Graham discovered that SGRV did not provide the advertised medical services and that the nurse was an Impostor. Ms. Graham immediately moved out but SGRV refused to refund her deposit and changed the locks on her SGRV apartment which prevented her from moving her things. Ms. Graham went to CHANNEL 3 ON YOUR SIDE. Channel 3 aired her story, and she was able to recover her things.





27. John Guidone

Mr. Haning and Ms. Kline lived together at SGRV and they were victims of SGRV's Fraud and abuse. Mr. Haning prepaid his rent of over $18,000 for the upcoming year before an operation. Mr. Haning passed away and SGRV refused to refund the monies. Mr. Haning's daughter, Ms. Parrott, went to the Police but they did nothing so she went to CHANNEL 3 ON YOUR SIDE for help. Channel 3 helped her recover the $18,000.



Ms. Kline used a scooter because she could not walk. SGRV put her in a SGRV apartment on the second floor after Mr. Haning passed away. Ms. Kline’s dog, Buddy, was hung by SGRV's elevator because it did not properly reopen the door when Buddy jumped out of the elevator while he still was on his leash.




31. Catherine Hickok
Ms. Hickok was a victim of SGRV's false advertising. When Ms. Hickok discovered that SGRV was an Impostor Assisted Living Facility with and Impostor nurse, she moved. SGRV filed a baseless lawsuit, and 
SGRV was wrongfully awarded a $2,250.35 judgment.

32. Jack Horner (Deceased)
33. Sandy Horner
Mr. and Mrs. Horner were victims of SGRV's false advertising and poor living conditions. They were outspoken critics of SGRV's Scott Green. Scott Green defamed their names, called them malcontents, and refused to renew their lease. The move broke Mr. Horner, and he passed away within a ye
ar of being evicted from SGRV.

34. Florence Howe (Deceased)
Ms. Howe was a victim of SGRV's false advertising when she required additional medical help.


35. Ed Hunt (Deceased)
36. Bonnie Hunt
Mr. and Mrs. Hunt were victims of SGRV's false advertising. Both of the Hunts served on the SGRV Ambassadors’ Group, and they were badly treated by SGRV's Scott Green because they fought for the SGRV Residents’ Fair Housing Rights. Scott Green retaliated

when Mr. Hunt passed away because Mrs. Hunt lost her husband's pension and could no longer live at SGRV. Mrs. Hunt had to sell her wedding ring in order to pay the SGRV Lease-Breaking Fee. After Mrs. Hunt left, she moved into a HUD low cost housing apartment. SGRV's Scott Green refused to refund the $400 refundable deposit. Mrs. Hunt sued SGRV and won a $400 judgment. However, she still talks about Scott Green stealing her wedding ring with his greed.




37. Catherine Keily
Ms. Keily was a victim of SGRV's false advertising that it had a medical alarm system. SGRV had an intercom system which rang in the SGRV manager's office. No one heard the intercom if the manager was not in the office. It was not a medical alarm system. Ms. Keily fell down in her SGRV apartment and terribly injured herself. She called for help for three days using the SGRV intercom system, but no one heard the intercom. No one from SGRV checked on her when she failed to come to dinner. Ms. Keily was near death when she was found. She was hospitalized for nearly a month. Ms. Keily moved from SGRV because she knew SGRV could not properly care for her. She also moved because she no longer could live in her SGRV apartment because of the bad memories.

39. Dorothy Klink (Deceased)
Mr. and Mrs. Klink were victims of SGRV's false advertising and Fair Housing Discrimination.

Ms. Stockton reported SGRV's manager Scott Green's illegal activities to his supervisor Chuck Major, Vice President of Seniority, Inc., a subsidiary of the American Baptist Homes of the West (ABHOW aka THE BAPTIST FOUNDATION). 

Ms. Stockton was immediately fired as a whistle blower. Ms. Knutson had to move because SGRV's Scott Green started withholding essential services. Scott Green was hired by Seniority. Inc. to manage SGRV in May, 2008. Seniority, Inc. failed to perform a background check which would have discovered that Scott Green was a 2005 Medicare Fraud Felon that made his living scamming seniors since 1999. Ms. Stockton has provided documentation of SGRV’s Scott Green's illegal activities of elder abuse, fraud, and information that SGRV is full of toxic mold.

41. Vi Lupon (Deceased)
Ms. Lupon was a victim of SGRV's fraudulent activities. She moved to Oregon to be closer to her family, but SGRV's Scott Green refused to refund her $1,200 Refundable Deposit Fees. In fact, Scott Green tried to charge for a chipped sink that was not chipped at the time of Ms. Lupon's move. This was a common practice of Scott Green to pad the bill at checkout for unsubstantiated damages.


42. Frank Matarrese (Deceased)
43. Nancy Matarrese (Deceased)
Mr. and Mrs. Matarrese were victims of SGRV's false advertising when they discovered SGRV could not handle their medical needs.

SGRV's Impostor nurse, Claudia Marquez, refused to care for his open MRSA leg wounds. Mr. Monroe later had to have his MRSA diseased leg amputated. Mr. Monroe testified about all the SGRV illegal activities to our Private Investigator, Jacob Mueller, before he passed away.

47. Alberta Moore
Ms. Moore was a victim of SGRV's false advertising.

52. Roslyn Radden (Deceased)
Ms. Radden was a victim of SGRV’s false advertising of medical services provided by a licensed nurse. Ms. Radden had many medical problems but once she discovered Claudia Marquez was not a licensed nurse she cancelled Ms. Marquez and the SunSet Caregiver services. Ms. Radden’s death was hastened by SGRV’s lack of advertised medical services.




53. Catherine Reinertson (Deceased)
Ms. Reinertson was a victim of SGRV's false advertising, Fair Housing Discrimination, and a Baseless Lawsuit. Ms. Reinertson was retaliated against by SGRV's Scott Green because she was related to Mark Fairall (her nephew and roommate). SGRV refused to renew her lease, refused to fix her air conditioning unit, and filed a Baseless Lawsuit against her. SGRV extorted $3,000 from her, threatened her with jail, and forced her to
move from her apartment which had $3,000 worth of apartment upgrades. Ms. Reinertson died a year later, a broken women.

55. Phyllis Risch (Deceased)
Ms. Risch was a victim of SGRV's false advertising, poor living conditions, and poor medical help. Ms. Risch paid for 24/7 care, but she was often left alone. She tipped over her scooter several times on the uneven SGRV sidewalks and nearly died. She often complained that the SGRV nurse failed to give her medication on time or even doubled up her dosages, which caused her to lapse into a coma. This was shocking because Claudia Marquez is not a nurse and it was illegal for her to store and administer medication. Ms. Marquez continues these illegal activity’s today even after complaints have been filed with the Peoria Police, Arizona Department of Nursing, and Arizona Attorney General.

56. Anne Rivano
Ms. Rivano was a victim of SGRV's false advertising, poor medical care, and fraud. Ms. Rivano's health worsened and SGRV could not give her the care she needed.

59.  Dr. H. Wayne Springfield (Deceased)
Dr. Springfield a victim of SGRV’s false advertising and Fair Housing Discrimination. Dr. Springfield discovered that SGRV was not a properly licensed assisted living facility and that the Impostor Nurse, Claudia Marquez, could not provide the medical care promised. Dr. Springfield was forced to often use the hospital because of his medical needs.

Dr. Springfield was a famous ecologist and author but he was forced to hide his identity when he lived at SGRV. Dr. Springfield feared SGRV’s Scott Green raising his rent an extra $1,000 a month, which was common practice. SGRV practice Housing Discrimination of Rent Rates based upon a renter’s net worth. Dr. Springfield did not want SGRV to steal from him because he left his multi-million dollar fortune to six universities for Ecology Scholarships. 




60. Jerry Stout (Deceased) 
61. Phyllis Stout
Mr. and Mrs. Stout were victims of SGRV fraud because of huge rent increases. Mrs. Stout had to move after her husband died due to the huge increase of her SGRV rent. Mrs. Stout had to leave her thousands of dollars of upgrades for which she received no remuneration. This was a common practice of Scott Green to push out a senior from their apartment and keep the upgrades for a higher rental fee to be paid by the next renter.





62. Vaughn Stout
Mr. Stout presently lives at SGRV and is concerned about the smell and the fact that he has been sick since he moved there. I met him in April of this year when I took the picture of the moldy fountain in front of SGRV. Mr. Stout informed me that SGRV stole his painting and has it hanging in the SGRV lobby. Mr. Stout asked and received a copy of our 82-page report called THE SUN GROVE RESORT VILLAGE ELDER ABUSE STORY that we sent to the US Senate and posted online per their request.

We are very aware that Mr. Stout is now writing flowery articles about SGRV online. In the past SGRV used the trick to reduce the rent for favors. SGRV used rental rates as a Rental Discrimination Tool to either reward or punish SGRV renters. It appears nothing has changed at SGRV after Scott Green's termination.

63. Joel Ticker
Mr. Ticker was a victim of SGRV's false advertising. When Mr. Ticker discovered that SGRV was not a licensed assisted living facility, he was sued with a SGRV Baseless Lawsuit. SGRV was wrongfully awarded a $2,568.36 judgment. The SGRV con was to give the new resident a free month's rent and when the senior moved out in one year, then SGRV would sue for that free month.

64. Millie Toedebusch
Ms. Toedebusch was a victim SGRV's false advertising, Fair Housing Violations, and a Baseless Lawsuit. Ms. Toedebusch filed a complaint with the Arizona Attorney General, Better Business Bureau, Adult Protective Services, and the Agency on Aging when she could no longer play Bridge in the SGRV property (See the Sally Byer story for details). Ms. Toedebusch was retaliated against by SGRV's manager Scott Green for her formal complaints with a Baseless Lawsuit. SGRV was awarded a $4,872.80 Default Judgment when her state- provided attorney, Tim Goddard, failed to appear at her Trial and failed to properly represent her. SGRV attached her savings account for the funds. Our Private Investigator, Jacob Mueller, took Ms. Toedebusch's deposition to document all of the elder abuse and senior fraud at SGRV.

65. Mae Westphal (Deceased)
Ms. Westphal was a victim of SGRV's false advertising and impostor nurse. She worried herself into the grave wondering if SGRV could properly care for her.



66. Juel Wilkerson (Deceased)
Mr. Wilkerson was a victim of SGRV's false advertising and broken medical promises. Mr. Wilkerson had TB but SGRV was not equipped to care for TB patients. In fact, Mr. Wilkerson put the other SGRV residents at a huge risk of catching TB. SGRV ignored the TB problem.

SENIORS SHOULD BE CAREFUL IN INVESTING IN PRECIOUS METALS AND COINS



SENIORS SHOULD BE CAREFUL IN INVESTING IN 
PRECIOUS METALS/COINS

Mark and Carol Fairall
The Real Faces of Elder Abuse
AUGUST 2015

Many elderly are receiving phone calls from dealers in precious metals (gold, silver, and platinum). Also late night TV has info commercials saying now is the time to buy gold and silver coins since the market is low. The rule of thumb is that your investment portfolio should be less than 10% for gold and silver and that you should hold on the precious metal investment a minimum of three years.
Several factors must be considered when you buy precious metals which are: where to buy, what to buy, and how to store. It is best to buy coins from the US Mint because TV sold coins have huge market-ups. If you are worried the US dollar's buying power is about to disappear buy 1/10 of an ounce coins because one ounce coins are harder to sell and buy things with in the future. Remember coins are heavy and an easy target for crooks so you need a home safe or use a bank safe deposit box for the storage.
We have taught classes on coin collecting since I am a Numismatist. I emphasize in coin collecting classes that it is a HOBBY and dreams of make a killing financially are rare. The more you learn the better. We enjoy the historic focus of coin collecting which helps you understand what was happening when the coin was made.
NOTE: If the salesman needs you to make an immediate decision and send the money.... IT IS A SCAM!

CHINA IS FLOODING THE USA WITH FAKE COINS: It is estimated that 40% of the raw coins for sale are fakes from China. The feds discovered a $5.4 million scam where counterfeit coins were turned into the U.S. Mint in the mutilated coin program. The coins had aluminum and silicon which is not in American coins. What tipped off the feds was more half dollars were turned in than minted. This was done by Guang Han Trading of New Brunswick. The US Mint loses money on this buy-back program and the program should be eliminated.
The best way to buy a real coin is to know who you are buying it from or if the coin is graded. The best grading companies are NGC or PCGS. It costs around $30 to grade a coin and well worth the price.
The best way to spot a fake coin is: weight, color, and sound when you drop it. The coins that are faked the most are gold coins: $2.5 Eagle and the one ounce Eagle. It is a great scam to spend $50 for a fake coin and sell it for $1,250.
NOTE: When in doubt ....walk away from the deal!

ANOTHER SENIOR SCAM AND POOR JUSTICE - $80 MILLION FRAUD – COIN SALES ON THE PHONE - THAN TRIED TO KILL THE JUDGE: Joseph Romano stole $80 million from 3,000 investors (mostly elderly) by selling worthless coins using high pressure on the phone. Joseph Romano received only a 15 year prison sentence for the fraud. This is not justice for destroying the lives of so many people.

NOTE: The rest of the story. Joseph Romano just got a life sentence in jail for trying to kill the judge and prosecutor. While in jail when his coin fraud case was pending Joseph Romano tried to hire a hit-man killer. These are really dangerous crooks!!!

Joseph Romano 
PERFECT EXAMPLE OF A COIN SCAM - THE NEW STAR TREK COIN: Small foreign mints make collectors coins and sells them for usually many times over the real value.
The new Star Trek coins are for sale from the Perth Mint for Tuvalu. The Perth Mint is in Australia and Tuvalu is a small Polynesian island. This is how small countries raise money.
NOTE: If you want one of these overpriced Star Trek Coins look at what they sell for on eBay. The same coin sells on eBay for $120.00 not $220.00. The coin is worth about $40.00 in silver coin value. That is a 550% markup! Bad investment but cool coin!

ANOTHER GOLD COIN SCAM OF THE ELDERLY - $18 MILLION: Larry Bates, former Tennessee lawmaker, scammed over $18 million from Christians and elderly. Many never received the coins. The fraud ran from 2002 to 2013. Larry Bates and his two sons, Charles and Robert Bates, ran First American Monetary Consultants. They have been charged with mail and wire fraud. They each face up to 20 years in prison.
NOTE: Buy or sell your gold or coins with a reputable coin dealer.

DO NOT MAIL COINS TO BE SOLD - COULD BE A SCAM:  One important subject is a warning about NOT SELLING coins by mailing them somewhere.
A recent FBI case this summer was about a $260,000 theft from the elderly by coin dealer Chrysanthos Nicholas (TCW Trading and North Fork Six Fare Coin Consultants) located in Minnesota. This crook had seniors mail him coins for sale and they received nothing.
Sadly, Mr. Nicholas only received a jail sentence of 27 months. His excuse was he was going through a divorce and hard times. What about the pain and suffering he caused all his coin scam elderly victims? Mr. Nicholas thought it was easier to scam the elderly.....he was right.
NOTE: Prevention is better than Prosecution in fighting Elder Abuse and Elder Fraud!
BEST DEAL AT THE US MINT - SILVER PROOF SET: Once a year the US Mint produces the 14 coin SILVER PROOF SET. It is a great value for just over the $50 price and goes up in value every year. This is a great gift for yourself or a loved one. This is a great investment for your child to buy this set every year because the coins double in value very quickly.
NOTE: In our opinion that it is the best deal at the Mint!

COIN COLLECTING RESEARCH SUGGESTIONS - GOOD NEWS: About 10 million (about 3%) Americans collect coins. Coin collecting is much more popular throughout the world (about 25%). The fun thing about coin collecting is that it is like holding a piece of history in your hands made from all over the world. Check your pocket change because that is where you will find the treasured valuable coins worth a lot of money.
We suggest the following reference materials:
COIN COLLECTING FOR DUMMIES: Good basic coin collecting book of the hobby.
WORLD COINS: The coins of many countries are very beautiful and very progressive. The future of coins is that many coins in the world are now made out of plastic which is cheaper and last longer. They are much lighter too.
COINS Magazine: This magazine shows current trends of coins and best buys.
NUMISMATIST Magazine: This magazine has in depth articles of the history of certain coins and tokens. (This is my favorite.)
OFFICIAL RED BOOK–UNITED STATE COINS: Don't forget to buy this book first!  Keep these books because they become collector's items that sell for more money.
NOTE: Carol and I volunteered taught coin collecting for many years at many adult learning centers to warn the seniors not to be scammed when they buy or sell their coins. We had a lot of fun grading the senior student's coins to determine the value.
SPECIAL NOTE: I had to laugh at a coin telemarketer telling me he had a PF 96 coin for sale and that PF 100 was that best. Those were lies. The top of the coin grading is PF 70 and MS 70. Proof State (PF) are coins made for collectors because they are stamped several times for clarity. Mint State (MS) are regular circulation coins used by everyone to transact business. Just a little of knowledge helped me to determine the guy on the telephone was a stupid crook.
EXTRA SPECIAL NOTE: We have been informed that our COIN COLLECTING WARNING report is being printed in several national magazines and newspapers.


First Book the Buy - RED BOOK
NEW COIN COLLECTING BOOKS FOR CHURCHES AND SENIOR CENTERS LIBRARIES: Thank you to the ten churches and senior centers that are adding our suggested coin information books and magazines to their libraries.
NOTE: Knowledge is the key to stopping elder fraud!



COIN COLLECTING WARNING: Coin collecting is called the “Hobby of Kings.” Rulers and Kings started the hobby by giving coins to people as a thanks or as a special event memorial token. Julius Caesar's nephew, Emperor Augustus, started giving coin gifts in 44 BC. Pope Boniface VIII in 1294 AD, Louis XIV in 1661 AD, and Emperor Maximilian in1861 AD gave rare coins as gifts.
However, remember that coin collecting is also the “Devil’s Playground.” Many seniors are receiving phone calls from dealers in precious metals and rare coins (gold, silver, and platinum). Also late night TV has info-commercials saying now is the time to buy gold and silver coins because the market is low. Do not fall for high pressure and false promises of huge riches. The biggest danger areas for rare coin scams are from the computer and phone. The rule of thumb is that your investment portfolio should be less than 10% for gold and silver and that you should hold on the precious metal investment a minimum of three years.
Several factors must be considered when you buy precious metals and rare coins are: where to buy, what to buy, and how to store. The best and safest place to buy rare metal coins is the United States Mint. TV sold coins have huge market-ups. Many specialty mints exist all over the world. They advertise investment coins being sold for small countries looking to make a profit. These specialty coins usually have at least a 500% markup of the spot value of the rare metal used in making the coin. Coins and precious metals are heavy and are an easy target for crooks. You need a home safe or use a bank safe deposit box for the storage.
Recently several Texas companies bilked $13 million from coin investors promising huge returns. A former Tennessee lawmaker and his sons have been indicted for using their investment radio show to steal $18 million in their coin selling scam.  In New York a “high pressure” telemarketer was just sentence to jail for an $80 million coin fraud. The best advice to avoid being scammed is to know what you are investing in and to deal with reputable firms.
The 10 tips to avoid being scammed in investing in rare coins are:
1.   Do not rush to buy and use common sense.
2.   Do a background check on the coin seller.
3.   Do not believe "Buy-Back" promises.
4.   Get a second opinion.
5.   Make sure the coin is graded by a reputable coin grading house.
6.   Shop the competition and compare prices and coins.
7.   Take immediate possession of the purchased coin.
8.   Be careful who you give your credit card number to.
9.   Don't cave in to "High Pressure."
10. Don't believe questionable misleading reports of huge riches.

Coin collecting is a HOBBY and dreams of make a killing financially are rare. Be careful but have fun because it is a wonderful hobby where you can hunt for special coins, learn about history, and possibly find that valuable coin in your pocket change.
