Wow!!! I pretty much figured the whole thing was a scam anyways. Now that I've heard it from a former employee, I know for sure not to call em!!! NICEY NICE
This is precisely why I started <a href="http://www.CashForGoldScams.com">CashForGoldScams.com</a>
People need to realize, GOLD is the most important thing to have, cash will at some point very soon be worthless!
I received a check from Cash 4 Gold that was very low in value to the items I sent to them. I phoned and emailed customer service and told them I was not pleased with the check and asked to send my items back to me. At this point I told them I was contacting the Better Business Bureau regarding their ads beinng untruthful. I then got a call from them to call them back and I did tell them I did contact the BBB and wanted my jewelery back. The BBB contacted them but it took Cash 4 Gold a long time to respond and did not respond to the final response requested by the BBB. BBB closed the case but Cash 4 Gold has this on their record.
Thanks so much for the information. I felt in my gut there was something wrong here, but like a fool I was going to go ahead with it. Of course I'm certainly not going through with it now. Especially when it comes straight from the horse's mouth, (if ya know what I mean). It sure makes things alot easier when there are honest people to come forward! Thanks Again!
personally i think this cash 4 gold crap is for stupid tweekers, crack heads, an any other wack job coming across a stolen watch or something they cant trade for dope, an im sure they dont have any clue what the real value of the jewelery is worth so 4 or 5 buck to them they be living rich
Thank you, to the former employee who had the dignity to write post this on line. Today, I was going to mail very valuable pieces of jewelry to these scam artist! However it felt like it was just to good to be true. May their go to the toilet!
I John Wubker am returning the check issued from Cash4Gold.com for
the return of all Items sent in to them Valuable as well as the Non Valueable
items.
I am Very Dissatisfied with the amount Offered For 14.80
pennyweight's of valuables. The Offer being less then 10% current
London Gold fixed the day the check was issued.
I received the check #59030 offering $63.34 for a total of 14.80 dwt of
Gold Issued 12-10-2008 on 12-12-2008. I intern have sent the offer check
back to Cash4Gold.com Via Next Day Express USPS with Delivery Confirmation on
12-12-2008 at 2:00pm So you will Receive it By 12:00n 12-13-2004. The
tracking #EB589238937US is available if you would also like to track the Return
of the inadequate check offered Me. Sincerely John
This is the exact Email I sent to Cash4Gold.com after I called the 800## to complain and was offered an extra 40$. So Basicaly they wanted me to take 100.00 for 3/4 of an ounce of Gold . By the way at the time they issued the check the London Fixed was 826.50 per Troy ounce. They also Undergraded the Gold
Cash 4 Gold ripped me off! I wish I had done something when I had the chance. The small check they sent me was a joke! Everytime I see that commercial on TV it makes me sick!
"Today, I was going to mail very valuable pieces of jewelry to these scam artist!"
OK, what if I said: "Today, I was going to pay a stranger on the street 100 dollars to go and buy me some CD's, and I'd meet him back on the street corner in 2 hours." Does ANYONE think that is STUPID?
As much as these kinds of "businesses" are absolutely SCAMS, we as COMMON SENSE people need to stop giving them our money. We need to stop NOT reading the fine print. Of COURSE they are scams! Stop believeing that somewhere out there these "too good to be true" opportunities will pan out. THEY DON'T. You must stick with established, credible companies, with the firm back up and solid integrity of Amazon, Ebay etc.
I had a feeling that this company was a scam. Now to hear it from an former employee; this confirms my suspicion. My son previously told me not to send in my jewelry because he had heard that they didn't pay you the value of your merchandise. I sent them many items and I know for sure that this one watch was worth more than the $9 check that they sent me for all my jewelry that they claimed to be worthless. He told me to take it to the pawn shop but I thought this was good, my big mistake. But God don't like ugly and no weapon formed against me shall prosper is all I have to say and believe. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes especially with the bad economy, but that doesn't mean that everyone in this world is STUPID or a CRACKHEAD; Satan walks to devour ALL people any kind of way. We just have to pray, be very careful and learn from our mistakes because no one is perfect and I mean no one. And this still doesn't give companies the right to scam anyone for that matter. Ms. G.
You know, some of you are saying that people who send their stuff in "deserve to get scammed", but that is an awful insult to make. When you lose your job and are running out of money to pay bills and then you see a commercial offering money for jewelry that you don't wear (which all of us ladies have), it sounds like a good way to get some extra money in. It doesn't mean that those people are stupid or "crackheads" or "tweakers". It just means they got fooled and that can happen to anyone. I think that sometimes it takes putting yourself in someone else's shoes to understand why someone would think this was a good idea. So to "Sabrina" and "Brad"... GET YOUR HEADS OUT OF YOUR ASSES!!! And Ms. Gina, you are absolutely right... Amen!
I sent them a herringbone necklace, 2 diamond rings, and another gold necklace. I should have known they would scam me and tell me "they were lost in the mail." I am not going to go away. As a mom with children of special needs and plenty of political firends, I know eactly who to talk to. They need to be in jail for mail fraud!
i was a cash 4 gold employee 2 they are trully a rip off 4 real i started working in cash 4 gold when it was only like 10 employee now they got 100s of employee i even have friends of mine that are supervisor and they even tell me yo dnt u ever send your gold here... how cum if u work 4 cah 4 gold u get triple the amount of money that a regular customer gets 4 selling ur gold... CASH 4 GOLD THEY ARE A RIP OFF TRUST ME I USED TO WORK THERE N LEFT BECAUSE I HAD 2 MOVE 2 PHILADELFIA N I THINK THAT THATS NOT RITE WHAT THEY DOING...
Cash4Gold is a scam. Everyone knows it. But the truth is, not all gold buyers are like Cash4Gold.
I am an employee of a gold buying office in New York and I have been continually impressed the honesty of the business. We are in constant contact with the police department in insure none of our items are stolen, we literally film everything that comes in and out, every promise we advertise is followed to a tee, we take the only the most reasonable percentage for handling fee's (if you aren't getting 85-90% of the London Gold Fixing YOU ARE BEING SCAMMED) and we even offer a service to turn your unpure gold into pure gold so that you can have a legitimate investment item.
Like Troy Billington says above, gold is an EXTREMELY VALUABLE asset in times of economic recession. Protect it, but use it when you need it. Work only with companies that offer both services because it means their interests are more on your side.
Anyway, I'm not saying my business b/c this isn't a commercial...I just think people should be aware of the value of gold. Know the weight, know the purity, be aware of the London Gold Fixing before you think about selling any item.
omg, i sent in my jewelry and they said they nevered recieved it, i should have know better. now i have to fill out a claim and who knows if i will every get any money from this bottom dwellers
I had a feeling it was a scam. They really need to take the commercial off the air. I mean seriously, shouldn't the company have had a bcakground check or something before allowing their commercial to be seen by everyone?? So stupid...
But what do they do with the jewelry that they recieve? Do they really melt it?
