Forged German Treasure Banknotes

During the past one year a single eBay seller has flooded the market with hundreds of forged Germany Banknotes overprinted for use in Iran (Pick M1-M5).  As a reference to collectors who may not be specialists in this area, we have decided to start documenting these  forged banknotes by listing the eBay number, Serial number, and other related info.  Needless to say that two official letters to eBay, and hundreds of e-mails by many many collectors who have fallen victim has not produced any result.

If you have fallen a victim to his fraud, or if you have further info please contact me (my e-mail is: Armen@MEbanknotes.com).  I am aware of a few collectors who have received compensation from PayPal, and at least one person who, with affidavit from others, is taking legal action.  However such legal actions may take months and years, and in the meantime more and more forged banknotes are being listed on eBay and purchased by innocent collectors who are unaware of the facts.

Return policy: "10 day return policy for a full refund only for German notes" ! One may wonder why return policy for the German notes only, is it possible that too many people are returning them ?
