DO NOT send your gold to any company advertising to buy it through the mail or the internet!!
These places are all interconnected nationally. They rip you off totally or give you a minimal, very minimal price for a gold piece that is worth a small fortune. My gullible neighbor fell for this. She sold a 2 ounce, 24 karat! Chinese bracelet for 50 bucks! It's true value was $1.600. She should have gotten at least anywhere from 50 to 90 % of it's value if she went to a jeweler who bought gold! She was SICK over it!! Guess what, the check for 50 bucks "bounced" ! ! Now she has to go through the Better Business Bureau. She got "Totally" ripped off. Watch out!! No gold, not even the 50 bucks! With the fifty, at least she could've gone out to a steak dinner with wine and dessert...and the baked potatoe! F'n mean!! !

I keep my gold in a safe place

THERE WILL BE NO GOLD. IT IS HOSTILE TO OUR FUNCTIONING. GOLD MUST BE DESTROYED.

Some people still amaze me that they fall for outrageous scams. Only this morning I read of yet another idiot who gave over $100,000 to scammers based on an email he'd received saying a dead relative he had never heard of had left him a million, but he needed to pay some fees to clear the money. Yea right. Nigerian scammers still get people with this stuff!

All the man had to do was a simple Google search including a few key phrases from the scam email to see that millions of people get the same scam every week.

The best of it, the $100,000 wasn't even his own money - he borrowed it from parents, grandparents and friends.

He whined that his friends had deserted him. I wonder why. Some people are just so damn stupid!
