I guess the last thing that simply doesn't make sense, is why would somebody make a private investment purchasing our dinar for $3/ea when they can get it for a fraction of that from institutions that are selling the currency?

Thanks. I do think it's a scam. It's certainly a kooky proposition. Apparently the person who my family member is working with decided that it was going to be a long wait for the RV so they contacted a friend who contacted a friend who said they would privately purchase the dinar at $3/ea because they would later make money off of them. This person is supposed to collect dinar from various people for the private pay-out and meet with feds at a local bank at an appointed time. If they don't feel good about the deal and it doesn't look like it will happen, they will return the dinar using our $30 checks that we're supposed to send for return postage. If the deal does go through, money will be posted to our bank accounts (we're to provide bank account and routing numbers) and the $30 checks will be destroyed. Here are my thoughts: * I'm not really a believer in the dinar revalue investment (I don't mean to be offensive with this... I'm simply a skeptic and this was a gift, not a personal purchase/investment) When I received them this fall, I was very excited and followed forums, but soon realized that many of the "gurus" spoke in circles with little to no substance * If I send some in, I'd most likely be out pretty pieces of paper. But right now that's all it is IMO - pretty paper. * I'd also be out $30 + shipping * I'm supposed to send a form including my bank account and routing number. Is there any way they could drain that account? * I'm supposed to submit a copy of my passport. I don't have a passport, but just a DL. * Is there any chance of identy theft? If so, should I take out an identity theft protection plan? * My family member who gifted this believees it to be true (it gives me an icky feeling inside, but if I send it in, maybe it will all just be over?) I don't want to seem ungrateful or untrusting of them by not sending it in. * My biggest worry isn't about loosing the pretty paper (dinar), but more of theft of my bank account and identity. So basically a breach of my family's security/meager resources.

This is my first post here - thanks for your kindness and patience in advance. I was gifted some dinar by a family member in the fall. I've been watching a few dinar sites and feel I have a fairly healthy grasp on what gurus to believe. And I'm honestly fairly skeptical about the whole thing. Today, the family member (who's incredibly intelligent, and usually very smart but this has me worried) sent me an email he received from a contact about sending our dinar now to be exchanged at $3/ea which they state is less than market rate. We're supposed to send the amount of dinar we wish to exchange, plus a $30 check in case the deal doesn't go through and the dinar needs to be returned to us, and our banking account and routing numbers. I believe my family member is going through with it, but it just feels dangerous and scammy to me. Is this common? Am I right to be hesitant and worried? The dinar was a gift so I'm not as worried about loosing it as I am about potentially giving somebody a portal into my finances. Thanks for any insight anybody may have.
