Hello all!
As a collector of Soviet Awards I hate to see what is going on eBay. More and more scammers are flooding the market with fake Soviet orders and medals! I will place a list with their user names in order to inform other collectors about these scammers.
Please contact me or give a reply when you have more information which might be of use.
And here are some examples of the items the frauds have sold
Soviet Award Scammers 
Hello there, I wish I found this site a bit earlier. I just got two orders from koncern
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Order-of-Bogdan-Khmelnitsky-3rd-degree-on-document-/112195284723?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&nma=true&si=8WPYkbbBx2OC6Zg1tZo%252FlB4F1Go%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Order-of-Nakhimov-on-document-/112195286982?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&nma=true&si=8WPYkbbBx2OC6Zg1tZo%252FlB4F1Go%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc
I’m planing on collecting this order when they arrive from Ukraine and teaching this guy a lesson. There is also this guy http://www.ebay.com/usr/awards2016ussr?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2754

Sorry to hear! I hope you will get your money back! Regarding the items of awards2016ussr: I’ve got a funny feeling the winner of his auctions won’t be getting the items he paid for…

well I got both orders, funny thing is bogdan khemlintsky came up positive on silver content but failed on porosity test. It was cast, so I have returned both of the orders, and left appropriate feedback now holding my fingers crossed I hope to get my money back. Ebay works against people, the system is so complicated that most of people won’t get their money back

Thank you for the heads up! I was googling novary_items who has a number of items in their eBay store that are offered at super low prices and your site came up. Still, I am wondering how do you know that they are scammers yet they have 100% positive feedback. Can you share what you found out about novary_items?
I too noticed an item currently on sale that seems like fake to me: https://www.ebay.com/itm/303363162147

Thank you for your reply Igor!
Feedback doesn’t say a lot unfortunately. If a buyer buys a fake item he won’t notice it when the items arrive since he didn’t notice it being a fake in the first place when bidding. They might find out later that they were scammed but at that point they wasn’t be able to leave feedback anymore or they already gave positive feedback.
