Popular online shopping platforms like eBay and OLX have become breeding grounds for untrustworthy sellers, preying on unsuspecting collectors. This not only tarnishes the reputation of these portals but also poses a threat to genuine sellers.

It's crucial to note that the aforementioned notes were never designed or released by the Reserve Bank of India. They are crafted by scanning, editing on software like Photoshop, and then reprinted to deceive new collectors.

Certain sellers on eBay, including cscoins99, vintage24x, dmartt, kansalstore7 (to name a few), are marketing these fake notes as rare collectibles at exorbitant prices. This unethical practice is muddying the marketplace, leaving collectors skeptical even about legitimate sellers.

It is strongly advised to steer clear of such sellers and refrain from purchasing these types of banknotes, as they hold no genuine value and are merely replicas. Stay vigilant to protect yourself from falling victim to scams and ensure the authenticity of your collectibles.
