Are you bothered by phone calls from businesses at all hours? Do you want the businesses to stop calling? Mike Fuljenz, national award winning Beaumont, Texas author, and coin and bullion expert contributor to consumer protection guides, has these suggestions. First, you can request the callers put you on their internal Do Not Call list. Next, you can register for the National Do Not Call registry that is handled by the Federal Trade Commission. Check with your State Attorney General about putting your name on your states Do Not Call list if they have one. You might also complain to your local Better Business Bureau as they do a first rate job protecting and assisting consumers from scams or frauds often making the need for lawyers or lawsuits unnecessary. According to state and national statistics, complaints for unwanted calls are up dramatically since the recession began. So if you don’t want to reserve your evenings for unwanted calls that disturb everyone from the young to the elderly, follow the simple examples and you should alleviate some of the aggravating calls from phone companies, insurance companies, car warranty companies, coin companies and financial deals that are frauds or scams. Unfortunately, Mike Fuljenz notes “some universally recognized charities, political campaigns and the like are exempt and these steps will not help with those.” The Direct Marketing Association assigns blame mostly to “bad actors” in the industry.

Universal coin and bullion expert Mike Fuljenz of Beaumont, Texas warns young and elderly rare coin buyers on the universal threat of coin scams and frauds involving Chinese counterfeiting of popular American silver coins. The universally recognized two most popular silver coin designs in American history are the Morgan Dollar and the Walking Liberty Half Dollar. Mike Fuljenz notes, “The first silver coins I collected were Morgan Dollars my elderly grandfather gave me for making good grades!” The coin is called a Morgan Dollar after its designer George Morgan. Mr. Fuljenz further points out, “The Walking Liberty Half Dollar design of Adolph Weinman was so revered the United States Mint used it for its popular bullion Silver Eagle coin program that began in 1986 and continues today. Mr. Fuljenz warned “All coin collectors especially the young and the elderly need to be aware of the threat posed by Chinese counterfeiting of rare silver coins including Morgan dollars entering the market.” Be especially careful when buying coins at flea markets from local street vendors, local auctions and any other auction venue not run by national coin and bullion experts. Exposure to these coin scams and frauds can be minimized by dealing with companies or businesses that are accredited by the Better Business Bureau, highly rated and pledge to arbitrate. This may minimize the need for lawyers and lawsuits in dispute resolution issues but still reserve your rights to explore all options available. Mike Fuljenz was formerly a grader, authenticator and seminar instructor for the American Numismatic Association. Mr. Fuljenz is also an ANA Presidential Service Award recipient.
