    I received an unsolicited package of coins from Littleton Coin company, asking me to pay for the coins I did not request. Later on sent me two bills trying to collect money. I have never even heard of the company until receiving their mail and since then have only seen poor reviews of them using this predatory tactic on many others as well. They need to either pay to have the coins returned to them or dismiss the bill since I (1) didn’t use their website ever (2) never requested or purchased coins from them or any other company ever in my life and (3) don’t want their unsolicited stuff.

    Please have Littleton Coin Company work on their business practices, which are seriously lacking in ethics. Don’t not send anything unsolicited and expect payment for it.

    Feels like I should send them a bill for my time in order to write this comment, but I won’t because it’s a ridiculous concept and they didn’t request me to write it. So this comment comes free, courtesy of a frustrated (non-customer) recipient of their mail.

    Complaint Case #********
    Consumer: ****** *****

    Dear ****** ****,

    Thank you for contacting us and giving us an
    opportunity to respond to Mr. ****’s complaint. We have sent him an email, and I believe the matter is
    resolved.

    On July
    5, 2022, we received a response over our website to one of our special
    advertisements for the free $2 Federal
    Reserve Note, with Mr. **** and his address as the customer. As promised, we included a trial selection from our Coins
    on Approval service, introducing him to the hobby of coin collecting and the
    many services that we provide. There is absolutely no obligation to purchase
    with this monthly service. There should have been a brochure explaining our
    approval program as well as a postage paid label to return the selection of
    coins, should he decide he was not interested.

    After 45
    days without receiving the trial selection in return or payment, we sent a
    letter in August, 2022, as a reminder of the Coins on Approval sent. We mailed
    a second reminder notice to Mr. **** in September, 2022. We apologize for any
    misunderstanding regarding the letters’ intent.

    Subsequent
    to receiving this complaint, we cleared the balance from Mr. ****’s account and
    canceled the service. We apologize for the frustration caused and encourage him
    to keep the coins sent with our compliments.

    For
    over 75 years, we have worked hard to deliver value,
    quality, selection and service to coin collectors in every state. We value our
    reputation in the industry, and our ethics and honesty are unsurpassed. We are
    truly disappointed when we have an unhappy customer.

    Please
    do not hesitate to contact me if I can be of any further assistance.

    In early November of 2022 I watched an infomercial about promotions made by little coin,they said if a certain amount of people within a certain amount of time contacted them,said person would qualify for a free uncirculated $2 bill.So I went online,signed up and created a profile providing my information,then like 2 weeks after in late November or early December they sent me a promotion letter stating things such as inventory,items,items’ descriptions,and prices.
    After that I never heard from them until recently(last week,today is February 28th),saying they are awaiting my die payment of almost $33 for allegedly having sent me an order back in November.I never ever ever got any order from them.I see complaints on this website of people complaining about having payed little coin almost $2 for a $2 Bill which the complaint-filers never got;I find it hard to imagine a company who fails to fulfill a $2 order after they receive the money would send someone a $33 order in advance……I need help because I need to know how shall I proceed with this matter because I certainly do not want little coin’s scheme affecting my credit.

    On November
    29, 2022, Mr. ****** responded to one of our special advertisements for the free 2022 P or D Kennedy Half Dollar. As promised, we included a trial selection from our Coins
    on Approval service (invoice ********), introducing him to the hobby of coin
    collecting and the many services that we provide. There is absolutely no
    obligation to purchase with this monthly service. There should have been a
    brochure explaining our approval program as well as a postage paid label to
    return the selection of coins, should he decide he was not interested.

    On
    January 13, 2023, we received his payment of $29.95 for the trial selection
    accompanying the return of all but one coin, a 2020-P Kennedy Half Dollar for
    $4.00. We assumed he wished to purchase the 2020-P Kennedy Half Dollar, applied
    his payment to this coin, and refunded the remaining $25.95.

    Since
    he made a purchase from the trial selection, we assumed he wished to continue
    with the monthly Coins on Approval service. His second monthly selection
    (invoice ********) was shipped on January 18, 2023, and his third monthly
    selection (invoice ********) was shipped on February 13, 2023.

    Subsequent
    to receiving this complaint, we issued a $4.00 refund from invoice ********,
    cleared invoices ******** and ******** from his account, and honored his
    request to cancel the service. We sincerely apologize for the frustration, and

    On November 9th, 2022 I responded to a promotion in which I was purchasing an uncirculated $2 for $1.08 payment. I did not agree to any subscriptions. The Order Number was ********. On 11/14/22 I was provided tracking number ****************** for my order. The tracking number is still "in transit" as of today 12/28/22. I contacted Littleton inquiring about the status of this order on 11/30/22 via email and the representative automatically sent a replacement Order ******** without further inquiry. The representative said to wait until December 20, 2022 for further follow-up in her response email. The tracking number provided for replacement Order ******** from the 11/30/22 inquiry was ******************. This order also has "in transit" status as of 12/28/22. I sent an email on 12/20/22 requesting that no further shipments be made by Littleton because I have not received any orders. Today on 12/28/22 I received 2 letters regarding the shipments with charges for both the original $2 bill I purchased and other coins that Littleton claims were sent (without my consent) that I did not receive. I called the phone number provided by "Karen" at Littleton and left a voicemail on 12/28/22 which has not yet been returned. I want a refund for my purchase and I do not wish to be contacted by Littleton again regarding this matter. I do not want any further shipments or to conduct any future business with Littleton Coin Company.

    After a while the sent me more coins. I called them and told them that I do not want more coins, please send me an return envelop, I did not order or ask for more. They promised to send me right away. Instead they send me an other sample and a bill.

    I called again and told them that I do not want anything from them and I already asked for a return envelope the never provided. They promised again to send one. I told them if they not send me the envelope, I will do what I do with all other unwanted publications, I throw them away.

    It never came. I did not throw them away, I returned both packages to the post office without postage.

    (invoice *****107), and on October 17, 2022, we shipped his third monthly
    selection (invoice ****9052).

    The
    letters Mr* ******** refers to are meant as a reminder of the Coins on Approval
    selections sent, and are mailed after 45 days without receiving the payment or
    the return. We apologize for any confusion over the letters’ intent.

    On
    November 14, 2022, Mr* ******** called and spoke with one of our
    representatives, who honored his request for a postage paid return label to be
    sent to him, and to cancel the service.

    Until we received this complaint, we
    were unaware the postage paid label never arrived. We have subsequently
    received invoices *****107 and ****9052 in return, which clears the balance on
    Mr. ********** account. We have also honored his request to cancel the service,

    I ordered coins from from this company a few months back. Ever sense they have been sending coins that I didn’t order and invoicing me. I sent everything back and requested that they remove me from their mailing list, but they keep sending me stuff. I’m sick and tired of going to the post office to return these unwanted items.

    Complaint Case #18469118
    Consumer: ****** *******

    Dear Parker ****,

    Thank you for contacting us and
    giving us an opportunity to respond to Ms. ********* complaint. As requested we
    have not contacted her. I believe the matter is resolved.

    On June 9, 2022, we received Ms. *********
    order from one of our special advertisements for the 2020-2022 P&D Native American Dollar set. As promised, we
    included a trial selection from our Coins on Approval service, introducing her
    to the hobby of coin collecting and the many services that we provide. There is
    absolutely no obligation to purchase with this monthly service. There should
    have been a brochure explaining our approval program as well as a postage paid
    label to return the selection of coins, should she decide she was not
    interested.

    After 45
    days without receiving the trial selection in return or payment, we sent a
    letter in August, 2022, as a reminder of the Coins on Approval sent. We mailed
    a second reminder notice to Ms. ******* in September, 2022.

    On September 20, 2022, we received her subsequent
    purchase of the trial selection of coins, and we assumed she wished to continue
    with the monthly Coins on Approval service. On September 26, 2022, we sent the
    second selection of coins (invoice 64263354), which we received in return on
    October 14, 2022. We subsequently shipped her third selection (invoice 64286921)
    on October 21, 2022, and shipped her fourth selection (invoice 64372802) on
    November 16, 2022.

    Until we received this complaint, we
    were unaware she did not wish to participate in this service. We have cleared the balance on her
    account, and encourage him to keep the coins sent with our compliments. We have
    also removed her from our mailing list. We sincerely apologize for the
    frustration this situation has caused.

    For over 75 years, we have worked
    hard to deliver value, quality, selection and service to coin collectors in
    every state. We value our reputation in the industry, and our ethics and
    honesty are unsurpassed. We are truly disappointed when we have an unhappy customer.


    Sincerely,

    Consumer: Tomas **********

    Dear ****** *****

    Thank you for contacting us and
    giving us an opportunity to respond to Mr. ************ complaint. We have
    spoken with him and I believe the matter is resolved.

    On May 22, 2022, we received Mr. ************ order from one of our special advertisements for the 1941-1945 Mercury Dime Year set. As promised, we included a trial
    selection from our Coins on Approval service, introducing him to the hobby of
    coin collecting and the many services that we provide. There is absolutely no
    obligation to purchase with this monthly service. There should have been a
    brochure explaining our approval program as well as a postage paid label to
    return the selection of coins, should he decide he was not interested.

    Later on May 22, 2022, we received
    another order for the 1941-1945 Mercury
    Dime Year set from Mr. **********. This order was shipped without the
    selection of Coins on Approval as an accommodation.

    After 45 days without receiving the
    trial selection in return or payment, we sent a letter in July, 2022, as a
    reminder of the Coins on Approval sent. We mailed a second reminder notice to
    Mr. ********** in August, 2022. We apologize for any misunderstanding regarding
    the letters’ intent.

    During our call, we apologized for
    the frustration caused, cleared the balance on his account, and encouraged him
    to keep the coins with our compliments. We also reshipped the second order as
    we were unaware it had never arrived.

    For over 75 years, we have worked
    hard to deliver value, quality, selection and service to coin collectors in
    every state. We value our reputation in the industry, and our ethics and
    honesty are unsurpassed. We are truly disappointed when we have an unhappy customer.

    I received via U.S. Mail an invoice for something I never ordered and never received (and in which I have zero interest). The way it is structured suggests it is a predatory scam. Earlier this year, using a mail order ad, I did purchase an item from this company as a gift for my father. I have no problems with what was ordered or received. This was paid for and delivered. This is likely how they got my name and address.

    But this invoice alleges that I was sent random items for free examination (false) and that the company is following up with me to invoice me for same (predatory).

    I do not seek to embroil myself in a scam by calling their numbers and getting stuck in hours of cross allegations in which they seek to further scam me.

    I seek this matter resolved and the company flagged for illegitimate practices to warn off consumers.

    It is possible this correspondence also constitutes mail fraud; I am not a legal expert. See attached.
