We decided to use Cash4Gold after reading the great references cited on their website. We were going to sell our jewelry on craigslist.com but thought this sounded like a more effective way to maximize our profits. WHAT A JOKE! I finally received my check after weeks and weeks of waiting with no word and no confirmation that they even received my jewelry -- I feared it was gone for good. It might as well be lost! For a 14K gold bracelet that I was offered $75, $85, and $90 for on craigslist I received a whopping $4.73! I felt instantly sick and feared the worst.

For some small diamonds that they took our of a ring they paid me $0.21. Yes, that is twenty-one cents. Add in a 14k ring and pair of earrings and my total windfall was $7.51. I feel like I've been sucker punched and just hope someone reads this and saves themself the time, energy and agony of going through this process.

This is a scam people. I don't how they got Forbes and the BBB to endorse them -- perhaps they did a few good deals at first to get the recognition but now they are nothing but thieves.

SERIOUSLY! What a f***ing SCAM! I sent one ounce of silver to see what they would pay (going rate is about $17/ounce) and I got a check for $1.90! To get my silver back, I have to pay a $15 shipping fee what a bunch of sh*tbags! I hope those scumbags get shut down.

Thats what makes horseracing. I have used the three times as a test the first and real expensive goods the 2nd and 3rd time. I new how much gold was there and was offred mor then my jeweler. The only problem is it takes us mail longer then you think to get there. I used the fast pay option and had my money within 48 hours of them sighining for my check. Bye the way they must have diffrent prices based on volume cause I got $9.00 for my silver.

All of these television promotions are scams. You can make millions with your invention if you use OUR invention consulting service - JUST pay us $8, 000 in fees. Put your valuables in an enevelope and send them to us - we'll send you a check in a few short weeks - FOR PENNIES ON THE DOLLAR.

There are con-artists out there who lay awake at night thinking up new ways to screw John Q. Public. Anytime you hand over your money or valuables to someone else, YOU ARE AT THEIR MERCY - AND THEY GIVE ANY MERCY. Once it is in their pocket, you'll NEVER get it back.

This Cash4Gold scheme asks you to give them your blind trust and that they will give you the most amount of money for your old jewelry.

I can only suggest that anyone desirous of selling their gold go to a reputable jewelery store and ask them their opinion of the items worth. But NEVER put your items into an envelope and mail them off. The first step in creating the con is to get the 'mark' to trust them. Next comes the allure and the promise of money. Finally comes the swindle in the form of a token check repaying the sender (mark) a few pennies on the dollar. It's a SCAM - plain and simple.

was, I fool when I saw it on TV I thought it was a good idea because they said to send any jewelry in and get a good deal while that was not true because I got a check today for .29 cents and I am going to send it back and they can stick it where it counts.They are a scam and I dont think they should get away with it. There should be something somebody can do.

YES THEY ARE A SCAM AND A BIG FRAUD.

The check they are issuing are FAKE! And I got one of those fake checks that they sent for my jewelry.

I have also filed a complaint on this board about the FAKE CHECK they sent me, so if you happen to be holding any check that Cash4Gold had sent you, PLEASE KEEP IT AS PROOF, call the bank written in the check and verify the check. If they confirm that it is, then please also file a REPORT to the FTC, FBI, BBB, & USPS.

THIS COMPANY SHOULD BE TAKEN DOWN FOR OPERATING A HUGE FRAUD!

I hate to say this, but I could have told you all this a long time ago. I first saw their commercial on TV several months back and it made me sick just watching the "testimonial" actors do their performing. With the price of gold the way it is, they have a perfect setup for themselves. They know that the fiat money, which is what we have today, is truly worthless (it's not real money, gold is) that if they can get people to turn in their gold, silver, platinum, precious jewels, etc. then they can make a killing by melting the gold down to gold bars themselves then turn right around and sell it for high, high, and ever growing higher prices. The price of gold, silver, and precious metals is going higher and still higher. Please, for your futures sake, never, never turn your real gold and silver into something as worthless as paper currency. We as a nation went off the gold standard back in Pres. Nixon's day and that has messed up ever since. I say all of this to wake you up, not to judge. I hate to see anyone scammed. Yes, indeed, these OPPORTUNISTS are a SCAM!

I have actually had very good service with this company. I sent in some silver and a necklace and recieved a check within 48 hours of their receipt and it was for MORE than i would have got selling it myself. I have also had no problems with their checks.
