Reviews and Complaints

you gotta be really i mean REALLY clever to send gold through the post...
you idiot

I get so tired of self righteous people on this site, who slam and put down victims of scams! duh.. the purpose of Cash4 Gold is to put your money in an envelope and send it..2) a face to face seller can also inflate the price of the jewlrey. 3) I have taken jewelry to potential buyers and what ur saying is false, they also try to rip you off. Often offering to pay 40% less than what the jewelry is worth.

Lesson Ive learned with jewelry is more often than not their are a lot of crooks who will steal from you. I keep jewelry and pass it down to relatives, or keep as a keepsake.

I thought this site was to lodge a complaint and concern not to be bashed by know it alls who enjoy putting people down, because in their twisted mind it makes them feel superior

Anybody who would put their valuable items in an envelope and mail them (of course you would have them insured) to who-knows-who-at who-knows-where is, well, not very intelligent.

How do you know how much the item(s) are worth?
Do NOT use an appraisal - it is possibly 100% inflated for insurance recovery purposes.
Do not use what you paid for an item - you may have been sucker-punched in the beginning.

Do have the item(s) documented:
Photographs
Offers (NOT APPRAISALS) from a FACE TO FACE seller of the items.
For Gold or Silver (or other precious metals or stones) get the Actual or estimated weight.

In most towns (and almost all cities) you can take your "Stuff" to three or more potential buyers and get as much as you would through a "MAIL ORDER" buyer.

this is terrible but honestly...any company that has you send in things...and appraises it without your presence..of course its going to be a scam most likely... terrible company it shud be shut down

c4g is a bunch of liars they are sceving sons of bit**** i think its bull sh** that they can steal peoples gold/jewlery and get away with it and nothing be done to there as***

Heck, I sent off my jewelry on the 27th of November 2009 and of course its lost in the mail. I beleive this nothing but a scam going on. I personally am going to contact my Attorney Generals Office.

I sent in a 14k ring with diamonds and saphires and got $22.18. is this some kind of joke! I want my jewellry back as I am not that hard up for $22.18!
This is a scam!

I sent a gold ring to Cash-4-Gold and received a check for 16.00. I personally sent them their check back and requested a return of my jewelry. It appears that they only pay for the gold. My ring has 12-14 nice sized diamonds in it. Are they making a much bigger profit frm the diamonds? I would have done better at the pawn shop! I was and still am extremely dissappointed with Cash-4-Gold

Do you believe these rip off artists are still in business? We recieved a check from them for 60 dollars... took stuff to a pawn shop, where we were told, just like cash4gold, it was bye weight... wonder whats wrong with the cash4gold scales? We got paid 230 dollars for stuff they said wasnt worth anything...ok, go figure, , , , , , lets all complain, and put these theives out of business

I must say that I have had much more satisfactory transaction-by-mail-experiences in the past two years in dealing with CASH-4-Gold.com, than my MOST RECENT SALES EXPERIENCE! The
only reason I was interested in selling some of my gold jewelry was
due to the "unprecedented" Gold Value of $1, 230.00 per ounce, as
of 06-14-2010 (per CNBC Cable News/"Squawk Box" Program, which constantly lists the stock market values as well as the current values of Precious Metals Market). However, I was DEEPLY
DISAPPOINTED to receive a check which was only worth one-third of approximate gold-per-ounce price; even though the itemized statement of values of gold-items-sold-by-mail outlined that I
had INDEED sold at least ONE OUNCE of GOLD in DKT Weight!
I suppose that TIMES OF STRUGGLING NATIONAL ECONOMIES
give way to Corporate Fraudulent Practices - Not EVERONE is
IGNORANT as to the current "values" of gold jewelry items in THE
PRESENT ECONOMY! I will NOT give any recommendations of
dealing with CASH4Gold.com to my friends EVER AGAIN!

Unhappy Camper In the South

As you can see above, it is really important to do your homework. As a person who sells gold to gold buyers, I've done some research and found that there are about 10 good questions to ask a gold and silver buyer before selecting them as the one to choose. A couple are:

1. What is their physical address? This may sound not important, but if you send your gold to a PO box and you and the buyer have a disagreement, it may be hard to follow up. Also too they have your precious metal! It is hard to knock on the door of a PO box. There is something about a business having a “physical” location.

2. What’s Their Security Policy to Protect Your Valuables While it’s at Their Facility/Warehouse? Just because there is insurance on the package that arrives, once it is signed off the insurance ends. So it is important to know what procedures they have in place within the company to insure that your gold does not get lost, mixed up, or even stolen. Good gold buyers have solid and strict policies and procedures that their employees must follow.

I agree that Cash4Gold.com is a scam, I cam across a very helpful website called Top10cashforgold.com and that told me everything that i needed to know about every online gold company out there. If you are looking to sell your gold and you want to know the truth about the company please visit, Top10cashforgold.com. I hope this website finds you well. I sure thought it was useful.

IF YOU ARE STUPID ENOUGH TO PUT YOUR GOLD IN A BAG AND SEND IT OFF IN THE MAIL TO STRANGERS, EVEN IF YOU LIKE M.C. HAMMER, YOU ARE DUMBER THAN A BOX OF ROCKS.

I really dont see the problem. First of all, if you take the full weight of the gold items, multiply by 14/24 for 14 karat or 10/24 for 10 k youll find that the most you can expect is 50 or 60% of the weight. (we are not talking plated). Now, there is a refinary fee. ..perhaps as much as $60/oz.
say you send in 8 oz of 14K gold. Figure on about 4oz X 950/ozor $3800, less refinery of $200 or about $3600 max. Say a 10% profit, resulting in $3, 240. This comes to about $800/oz. This is the MOST you can expect. If you get $600/oz, i would be surprised.
Now, as for trust? Baloney. You would be betteroff going to several jewelers and getting a quote from them . They deal with refineries all the time. Even then, I would be surprised if you can get half the actual price of Gold, maybe $500/oz.

Good luck

Forget the bigman comment! I'll wait for the day he loses something and begs for help. You have been robbed and I predict this company will be in legal trouble within the year! Here is what I will suggest also. It is deemed mail fraud and becomes a federal matter. You need to check this avenue and call the local FBI.

By right, in the jewelry trade, you should agree to the amount or else it should be returned to you. You might want to consult Jewelers Vigilance Board. I just dont have it handy.

Feel sad to see soooooooo many good people getting sucked in this scam.

there return policy is 12 days not 10 just checked their wedsite and you called in 15 i dont think you are being fair in yor complaint. Sorry being honest!

I sent in my jewelry and the say they never recieved it! Now I am filling out more forms

You can't trust any one in this day and age when we all need a little additional cash.

So, I put on my Indiana Jones hat and did some digging. Here's what I found:

- ''ibuyoldgold.info" is a man named Don Pennington from Pennsylvania. If you go to ibuyoldgold.info, you will be redirected to a site called associatedcontent.com, a site that PAYS people to write content for them. The so called "review" is little more than a commercial for Cash4Gold, not an honest review of the service. Here's an example:

"Wanna better option? Of course you do! Got any old, ugly, broken jewelry around your house? Of course you do! Wanna get paid top dollar for your scrap gold, silver, and platinum? Of course you do! My friends at Cash4Gold.com have already helped thousands of good people just like you, through troubling financial times, and have paid out millions of dollars, to many who become regular customers. To be frank: You're just not gonna find a company that'll treat you better, answer all of you questions clearer, or pay you more, than Cash4Gold.com! Cash4Gold.com has been operating since 2001. They've since grown to being one of the largest, and most respected, precious metals refineries in the U.S., and they're the only precious metals refinery to be listed in "Inc. Magazine's" "500 Fastest-Growing Companies in America", for 2006 and 2007. And it's all based upon, fair dealings with sellers, honesty, and knock-your-socks-off service!"

Does that sound like an honest appraisal or a commercial?

This guy is a shill. A carnival barker.

- On this very forum, Pennington says he is a "former customer" yet in his commercial/review, he never once says anything about how much money he got or even if he actually ever used the service! COMPLETE ###! Remember, Don Pennington is being PAID to write this, and I'll wager that he got more money for lying about the service than he would if had actually used it.

- Pennington is a sad and bitter divorcee who, according to his associatedcontent.com profile, has but one interest: "Winning my children back".
Sad, huh?
Well almost as sad as this, his bio: "I'm just another throw-away Dad tryin' to make the child support". Apparently making the child support includes writing almost 400 articles for associatedcontent.com. In fact, I encourage you to not go to that site, as he may get paid for every visit. I did it for research and part of me hopes he gets money to pay his support with, but you don't need to do it.

Don, you asked for this by coming here and insulting people that have a legitimate gripe against a scam just so you can generate traffic for your Internet paycheck machine. Get a real ###ing job, ###.

PWND.

Besides there's a difference between not paying full market value and giving you $2.oo for a diamond. Please tell Satan I said hi the next time he comes to your street corner for your twice-weekly BJ sesh.

You mean a site that's no longer up? NICE TRY DON PENNINGTON...YOU FAIL.

The Cash4Gold.com customer service number is [protected]

Got a similar newscast in the Chicago area. Same story pretty much. I got the phone number of the www.progressive-environmental.com company. They are in Barrington, Illinois. [protected]. I called and they told me that they call you when they receive the material, tell me what they are willing to pay and if I say ok they send the check out the same day; if not they send the gold back at their expense the next day...payment in 24 hours from receipt.

Cash4Gold is a out and out ripoff. CNN says there are 388, 000 complanints so far against them. How do the authoritizes let them stay in buisness. Must be a payoff somewhere.

Wow. Just saw the sell you gold investigation on the Philly local station. Cash4Gold was the worst; not just a ripoff they steal outright!
Great station: rated the top 3 companys to sell gold on line to. Its an industrial refiner that has a precious metal refinery within. Go to www.progressive-environmental.com and click on the dollars for selling gold item. Good luck with the schmucks at cash4stupid people who are gullible to sell to them.

I sent my pack and Ill tell you now the locket is worth $246 without the chain! If this company dares to send me a measly $19 or $46 dollar check I will sue the ### out of them, and if they say theyve already MELTED my jewelry, I will be the most angry customer theyve ever seen!

God will judge you CEO, I sent in my gold to help pay medical bills and buy a Christmas gift or two. Your dishonest company said they never got my package, what B S! I know our mail man, and he is no thief, only you CEO, you are the thief.I hope you remember this Christmas season, God shall judge the wicked and greedy, CEO. My Christmas gift to you is yet another complaint to the BBB for you to ad to your collection. Merry Christmas, and happy New Year, you fat piece of [censored].

If I w ere a scam artist I too would try to save my company, But I was scammed too, dont, t figure dose it?
I am just a person from Michigan that sent you e a .about 600.00 in gold, about a month ago and you say you didn, t recieve it. My wife called and a worker of yours said it went far a Florida. So where is it MR. C.E.O.
We were told that you have Insurance but it only covers 200.00. I feel bad for people sending you more.
You are a C.E.O that meens you most likely make over a million a year, drive a fancy car, ect. And you take candy from a baby. How do you sleep at night? You know someday you will meet your maker and i feel sorry for yoricu, because you willl not like what you see. Try to change if you can, you can, t take the riches you have on earth with you. you will be in a different ball park there

I sent some rings and earrings to cash4gold and received a check for £36.00...I demanded my money back as I knew they were worth much more. I took them to my local jeweller and received £120.00! I told the jeweller what had happened and she was absolutley appalled.

I don't believe any accusations are false. I sent in my gold back in November 2009 and according to your company it was lost and or stolen. No Insurance money was ever given to me because according to your fradulent company it was my fault for not contacting Cash 4 Gold after a supposed email was sent. I indeed contacted your company several times. I receive every single email someone sends whether spam or junk. I believe your company is full of liars and theives and if the accusations were not true I would either have revceived the money for my Gold or the maximum amount of Insurance money given. But I received neither and instead was told lies and was blamed for not contacting Cash 4 Gold. Case managers were switched and yet it is still my fault, I believe that is a load of BS and I feel No One should ever send any gold to your company! Your company is based on lies and thievery!

Yes, you can type anything on the web, but seriously ... several hundred complaints ... this blows your theory of people falsifying complaints against your company out of the water! How can you sleep at night!

I sent 5 rings worth $1200 retail 10yrs ago to cash4gold and they sent me a check. I wasn't happy so I sent back the check. I called 14 days later and asked for my rings back. The rep said we still haven't received the check so I ask what can be done she said that she would cancel the check and send back my rings. I was happy with that until another Rep called me two days later and said I am sorry Mr. W We melted down your rings but take a check for $46.00 to instead of the $26.00 original check. I said that's BS and had no other choice but to take it. Two weeks later I got another check for $19.00 not $46.00. What can I do ? I called a Lawyer and I have the original papers from when I bought rings that tell the weight and Karat and the value of the diamonds that was not even close to what they valued it and I am planning to sue. If you have problems contact Better business bureau and search the web and tell your story so no one else can get scammed. One complaint makes a difference.

I veronica am not satisfied with what you are paying me in return for what i sent you pleas return my jewels

Ripoff...

I had seriously considered sending in my scrap gold jewelry to this company until I read the testimonials on this website. Thanks to everyone for the heads-up.

Here's what I did...I took my "Refiner's Gold Pack" and loaded it up with a bunch of old keys, about 60 cents worth of pennies, and a bunch of bottle caps and mailed it back to them with a note about their sorry business. At least they'll have to pay the postage for this slug package (I'm eager to see if they even say they received it, I'll check my "tracking number" in a few days, maybe two weeks...)! I'll let 'em have the sixty cents...If they're ripping people off this badly, they must need the money even more than I do. I'll just take my old jewelry to a jeweler or pawn shop. Once again, thanks to everybody here. I almost fell for it...

So, I put on my Indiana Jones hat and did some digging. Here's what I found:

- ''ibuyoldgold.info" is a man named Don Pennington from Pennsylvania.

Cash 4 Gold is a complete scam. I received a call from customer service saying the my ring had been damaged and that the package was empty. Now, I am no rocket sciencist, but how can a ring be damaged and also missing!? When I called back from the message, they said that there were no contents in the sealed package. Sounds like someone needs to get there story straight. This was an 18K wedding band appraised at $1, 600. They saw an opportunity to rip me off! I am sure they have done this to many people before. If they have done this to you let me know and we will contact an attorney!

I JUST SENT IN SOME GOLD AND SLIVER RINGS AND A NECKLACE I TOOK PICS OF THEM BEFORE I SENT THEM OFF TO CASH FOR GOLD I HAVE THE TRACKING NO AND I TYPE IT IN THE USPS WEBSITE TO TRACK IT COME BACK SAYING THE IS NO MATCH FOR THAT TRACKING NO ITS BEEN 2 WEEKS NOW I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE ANYTHING FROM THEM RIP OFF SCUMS

If it sounds too good to be true...it probably is! I would NEVER send jewelry by mail to anyone. If it is of value, it is best do deliver it personally.

By the way, they have a cash 4 gold kiosk in the mall here, I would imagine they do other places as well...that may have been a better bet. That way there is mall surveillance of the transaction, you have met with a real person that can vouch for you...so on and so forth.

I was always skeptical of those commercials...I even wondered how many people were going to send in stolen jewelry...can't really get caught red-handed that way now could you. tsk tsk tsk

AHAHAH serves you right. SUCKA

They ripped me off too...I wish I was smarter. I sent in ALL of my unwanted jewlery, two wedding rings with diamonds, a few other rings that were less expensive, and some loose stuff. And guess what...they never received my package...yeah right. I am soooo pissed.

Oh my God! I have just read these complaints and I just cannot believe that they would actually be crooks!
I sent my gold pieces and a 8 diamond horse shoe shape and called the customer service and let them that before they sent me a check I needed to know how much it was evaluated for or how much appraisal amount would be

He assured that is what they would do, here is 2 months later and Ive been calling asking where is my check or have you received my jewelery and i would go on line and nothing and then I got a call after several attempts of leaving messages, " that i needed to get a hold of the Postal General and file a complaint due to maybe it being lost in the mail, I just couldn't believe it Ive worked for the US Postal as a mailhandler and worked in the bulk department and let me tell you we take very serious our mail that comes and any packages sealed correctly will be mail trust me! I now am convinced after reading all these comments that their is a huge scam going on! and needs to be investigated right away and get some restitution! this unbelievable.!

Very discontent and disappointed

I too just sent in two highschool rings about 10 days ago. No record of the package arriving. GEE, what a surprise. I'm normally smarter than this - cannot believe I didn't research it. They advertise on Howard Stern. Wonder if he knows they are a scam!

I just want to thank everyone for the input. I thinking about sending a 14k white gold chain with a diamond cross . A jewler and a local pawn shop owner whom both put the chain on scale, 4.2oz. I was told 2, 500-3, 000 what it's worth, Im not going to give them the chance to run a mail problem or any other scams. Thank You

This is true, I sent in alot of jewlery to them also a couple of 10k braclets, and two 10k rope necklaces, also some rings and earrings and they sent me 55.00 dollars. I later found out about the rip off thing with them. If I would have known I wouldn't have sent my stuff in. I feel like I got cheated. I had a friend that was going to send her stuff in I told her not to, to go somewhere local and she did she had a rope necklace and braclet set with one ring and she got 100.00 dollars for it. So I know I was riped off. Do not use them.

In our Blog, we warn people against sending their valuables in the mail! You have to go to a reputable jeweler and get at least a proper estimate for your valuables. Give Rothstein Jewelers in Beverly Hills a call... please- don't get ripped off!

Amen to that, I did get my jewelry back but there'll be no more dealing with them again, i'll go somwhere else. Folks don't fall for the ''cash4gold'' outfit...just don't . I got insulted by them after they sent me a check for $ .13 cents. And yes they got their check back. I kid you not!

It's called "trolling", Andrew. Kind of like the internet version of a prank call.

Most of the time, the troll's aim is to get people like you to make comments like the one you made.
This was apparently a victory for the troll, as you played into it. Not the best troll, but I guess it worked (on you). Made me laugh, though.

SERIOUSLY?!?! Is this a joke? This has to be the most poorly written comment I have ever seen in my life!
"I sent in all them useless gold watches my grandaddy lef me and my gold teeth that done falled out" Really?!?! Did you quit school after kindergarten? I mean come on. I refuse to belive that someone is that uneducated that this is how they really speak.

I sent in items that had value. 24k black hills gold pendant, rings, and gold necklaces. Items that had 24k Gold listed on them when they were provided to me. Over the years, I had several necklaces that I no longer use and could use the money since the price of gasoline was high at the time that I sent the packaged envelope.

Warning: Do not send any items to them. If they declare that the items have $0 value. They hold the items and you have to pay to have the items returned. This is truly a scam. You have to send them payment by check or money order to get the items returned while they continue to hold the items.

I am so upset with this experience. I really wish that I would not have sent the items now. Please learn from my mistake. I want to warn others so that they do not make the same mistake as I did.

I wish I would have done a little research before sending my gold and silver items to Cash4Gold. They really are nothing but crooks. I received my check on the 18th, of course on the check the date is the 11th. When I called the company you get transferred from one person to another but no one has an answer to your question.

Then they gave me a different number to call and said they would pull my items and send them back to me once they receiver their check back. Now I wonder, I should propably send it back certified so that they can not say they did not receive the check back. All I can say is that I better get everything back.

I also asked where on their website is a testimonial or comment place and the representative told me he did not know. So I told him he needs to find out. When he came back on the phone he said I should email the comment to the company...lol...what a joke.

People should get together and file a class action lawsuit against this company. Makes you wonder how these people sleep at night.

They ripped me off. didn't send me my check. ### them.

Several months ago I asked for and received a "mail in" envelope from Cash4Gold. I was told it would arrive in 3-4 business days. It arrived almost 3 weeks later. I put my jewelry in the envelope and sent it to Cash4Gold. Keep in mind that I had already taken the items to a pawn shop but didn't sell them because the price offered was very low because they really didn't want to buy more jewelry at that time. I can understand that, which is why I sent the jewelry to Cash4Gold. Despite their claim of the customer receiving a check in a few days, my check, in the amount of $28 and change, was not received for 3 months. I thought the original envelope had perhaps gotten lost in the mail and I called Cash4Gold and was told my claim had been processed. The processing date was about a week after I mailed the envelope. Given the postal system and weekends, I did not have a problem with that. I cannot understand the difference in what the pawn shop offered versus what I received from Cash4Gold. The pawn shop offered me $75.00, and even stated it was extremely low because they were not really interested in buying jewelry at that time. Unfortunately, the shop went out of business about 3 months later. I have no idea what took so long for the check to arrive. I called several times and each time I was told my check had been processed. After 2 months of waiting and calling, I gave up. By the time the check did arrive, the return period had expired so I felt like I was screwed and had no recourse.

Cash4Gold, my package C4G1985899 cannot be track after 2 months. Never received any funds; was assigned tick number 461865 for contact info. Donot use this company and MC Hammer will never recover for BR.

they asked for a copy of your apprasial because when the resell your items, thats the value they are going to try and get for it. you got royaly [censor]ed

I think people should call him directly and let him know their consumer complaints-
give him some insite into how much his company SUCKS!

CASH 4 GOLD is a scam!i have an awful experience with them.
I sent them my unused gold and i had couple 18 K coins and my all of my jewlery is above 18 because i got them from middle east.
My jewlery cost above 1000.00 and they sent me $ 54.00 it was a joke for me and i sent the check back to them and they didnt return my jewlery back! Anytime i called i got stupid answers.
DONOT DEAL WITH THEM because it`s a real SCAM even they advertise on the TV .They are a bunch of thieves and liars.

Once you send your gold in don't they notify you beforehand what they are willing to offer for the gold? That's what they always say on the tv commercials. You can accept the amount or ask for your jewelry back. So I don't really understand how you felt ripped off. And I seriously can't imagine that there's only one pawn shop in your area, those places are everywhere.

I just wanted to say Thanks to all the people who shared their ordeals, on here about Cash 4Gold. I said to my husband I was going to send some in just to see if it was scam or not, but now I guess I got my answer.

Can nothing be done about this company scamming people, or has anyone even tried, you can file complaints against the better business people and make them investigate. I don't know why people are allowed to get away with this, I really don't

But once again thanks for your information

This company should be called Pennies 4 Gold ! They are paying about $70/oz. for 12k gold! They also charge a shipping & handling fee to have your merchandise returned. Other than the fact they Scam you on the Value of the Gold, the staff seems friendly & helpful with basic questions. You would probably get a better return if you took it to your local pawn shop or jeweler.

I never recieve my money what do i need to do?

I sent cash4gold 2 wedding rings/1 wedding ring with diamonds/1 neckless/1 money clip/2 tie chains. The rings weighed 8 grams and the diamonds had .o4 cts. they sent me a check for $15.59. What an insult. This company is a rip off!

I sent six 14 k gold rings with diamonds, a 14 k gold necklace, a 14 k gold braclet and some misc silver and gold. Cash 4 gold down graded all of my gold to 12 k when it was all clearley stamped 14 k. I sent cash 4 gold five 1/4 karat Diamonds they gave me $1.20 a dollar twenty. In all truth what i sent in to cash 4 gold waas worth arround $4, 000.00 Four thousand dollars and they sent me in return $82.76 yeah eighty-two dollars. I would advise anyone who is thinking about sending any jewlery in to cash 4 gold to not do so. Cash 4 gold is the biggest rip off. I called cash 4 gold and told them my problem at first they told me I was bacisly stuck with what they gave me but after an hour of phone calls a supervisor lady told me if i sent the check back to them she would send me my gold back. That was two weeks ago and I still have not seen my stuff returned. So I am waiting to see if they return all of my stuff.

I sent them a gold necklace that was 12Q and got a whopping 4.67. I sent a bunch of silver and got a whole 1.47 How much gold silver platinum would someone have to send in to get enough to go on vacation! Who the heck has that much?
Sure You can send the check back, but do you get your jewelry back?
I wouldn't send or recommend them to ANYONE! You might as well just throw the stuff in the trash if it is only worth $6.00.
I recommend you find another way to get money for your jewelry. Or have your own jeweler do it.
My views are that they get your jewelry which actually IS worth a substantial amount, but they tell you that it is low grade and send a pittance which is where they make their profit.
They should be shut down!

I tried this whole cash 4 gold thing i requested the pack then sent my jewelry in and everytime i put my tracking number in they say it cant be verified that it takes 7-10 business days to get to them from the time i mailed it out guess what it's been almost a month and still they are saying they can not verify my number. something needs to be done about these people they are con artists and nothing more.

I sent cash 4 gold my class ring that was white gold, a sterling silver earring and a gold chain, and a locket, and they sent me .04 cent and told me the only thing that was worth anything was the earring! This place is unbeliveable i wish i would have seen this before i sent my stuff off to them! I should of known better to send my stuff to them!

Hello I am Sidney Crosby Biological mother Tana Martin, I am having cash for gold in calgary charged for fraud and theft at the minimum and am having the city of calgary police order a restitution order for $4000.00. What happen to me was i sent in a 51.2 gram 22k gold bangle and the day the mailed the check they stoled melted my gold bangle. The check was mailed May 30, 2011 and I received it June 1, 2011. I returned the check with a written letter refusing a rip of 400.00. I demanded my 51.2 92% pure gold bangle back and on July 12, 2011 cash for gold in vancouver is demanding that i cash the check, but i did not and the police have it know with the envelopes and contracts. So it could take up 2 years but i will get my $4000.00 back.

Do u know how many robbery there have been, just because of this cash and gold business. I don't agree with this. People these days don't even feel safe wearing gold anymore. I would appropriate if all companies that deal with this cash for gold have memberships of their customers details, most of them don't do that, you just show them ID and anyone can get away with anything.

Cash4gold.com will rip you off cash4gold is a huge scam !

Looking at supposedly Michael Phelps and others have endorsed these crooks must be a fake advertisement. I sent them gold and it took 9 days for them to even acknowledge that they had received my materials. When I did receive my check it was a disgrace what they are paying people for their gold. I email them right off and requested my materials back and they offered me a additional amount of money when I refused to accept the pennies that they were offering then they instructed me to send the check back and they would return my items as soon as they received their check. I sent their check back priority mail and sent them a self address stamped priority envelope for my items to be returned because I did not want any excuses for returning my items it has been 9 days since they received their check back and I still have not received anything in the mail. I am going to contact the BBB in Tulsa, OK and inform them of this scam and make sure that all the people that I know do not use these crooks. They have made a killing off of people in the short time that they have been around. The good Lord do not like ugly he will fix these kinds of people. I feel real sorry for them when it comes around to their time to pay the cost at the day of judgement.

cash4gold riped me off as well for 19 pieces of gold, I hope this scam is quickly dealt with according to the full extent of the law.

I sent 30 grams of 9ct gold, received a call saying it was not hall maked therefor worth less, I pointed out it makes no mention of this on the web site, so they offered me £190 for it, that was a quick increase in the gold price? I said there was 30 gms and she stated that the best they could offer was £200, another rapid increase in the price of gold, or maybe staff trying to make a quick profit at the expense of customers.?

Why would people send gold and even diamonds to a company that advertises on TV? I blame our educational system. It does nothing to teach critical thinking. As a result, we have a nation of gullible old fools. Fools who don't care that our children are not being taught to be careful of advertising promises. So our educational system never changes and people don't learn to take the time to think when it comes to cons, scams, and hoaxes. I hate to see people suffer, but, unfortunately, they're getting exactly what they deserve. This won't change until we overhaul what is taught in grades 1-6 throughout the USA.

p.S. Bravo anonymous

This person is an idiot and I know for a fact they will NOT accept a personal check for return of gold and read the agreement before ya do something, or do you want the government to wipe yer ### too?

Sounds like a scam from the beginning - i would NEVER send my gold AWAY to THEN receive a check later.
I brought my gold that I chose to sell directly to a store - and received cash on the spot and i was very pleased w. the whole transaction, that took about 15 minutes -
Its the much better/smarter way to do it...

I want to thank everyone for taking time to share their experiences. This type of forum via the internet is so useful. I was seeing the catchy Cash4Gold commercials several times per day and was not considering using them. Then I remembered that I had two 10K gold class rings that I never wear. I looked through their company web site to understand the process and risks. I then realized that putting the items in someone else's hands before the value was determined makes me a little uneasy as does the very limited time to respond to their offer. After reading the posted experiences and other negative ones found via Google search, I'll look to sell them locally face-to-face when I'm ready. Thanks again.

I am also very disappointed with the amount of money I received for the gold I sent in. 26.07 for 2 thick/heavy 10kt rings one with 3 diamonds, and 3 smaller 10-14kt. I will say that when I called they did offer to double my money without much complaining on my part. I just didn't realize that they would pay so little for gold that is supposed to be so valuable, it just does not seem fair. I would never do this again, and I would suggest to anyone else not to do it either.

total f'in ripoff artists .. they definitely are a scam and why the govt hasnt shut them down is beyond me.
i sent them a gold chain worth over a hundred dollars .. they send me a check for 5 bucks.. f' that, i send it back right away and follow it up with calls and emails, , they dont reply until its after 8 days with the same damn check and an explanation that my gold chain was worthless and its been more than 8 days and it has been smelted ... they are thieves, , , they give you a tenth of what your stuff is really worth and then give you 8 days from the date on the check not the day they mail it and of course deny they got it on time ... liars and thieves

will all these complaints cant be wrong.I'll have to spill the beans on myself casue i fill for the crap...I sent my package a week ago.it only took them 3 day to get the packet to me so it should have only taken 3 days to get it back..i sent this on a monday.so now this is sunday.called them saterday OH it take 7 to ten day to get it i was told..now i'm on here kicking myself in the head...

to the guy that said he got his money back "REALLY"!.Now tell me why would ALL THESE FOLK WANT TO GET ON HERE AND LIE..you are 1 out of 70...think the majority has the vote on this one...stupid me stupid me

I sent 4 packs to CASH 4 GOLD with several pieces of jewelry to test out their service. I read all of the Terms and Conditions and even insured my packs as requested by them. I contacted their customer service department and asked several questions before sending my packs. Their service was very proffessional and proficiant.

For those of you complaining about their service, maybe you should learn to Read and follow directions. After receiving all of my checks I called their customer service department again. It was explained to me that what they are interested in is th pure precious metal contained in the items, not their artistic value, that stores sell you when you purchase them.

I also requested that my items be returned, they advised me to send back my payment and they would return my items. Again this was listed on their Terms and Conditions. The representative verified my address and my items were received and signed for within 7 days.

We all know things are tough out there, but as a consumer we all have the responsibilty to read and understand these conditions. If you think any company is going to give you money to pay off all your bills. Then you are sorely mistaken.

Just because you did not receive the outcome you were looking for, is no reason to bad mouth anyone, remember you are the consumer. So before you blame someone for your mistakes, Read the TERMS AND CONDITIONS and follow through.

I always search google for the company or product name and words like rants, complaints, fraud, scam. If you get a lot of hits first clue... Even if positive, they were most likely posted by the scammer to make you feel safe. Some may even create alternate websites that praise their product or services... Not sure but looks like cash4gold has created a few endorsement web sites...

I have seen many people claiming to be ripped off... I am just wondering why does no one file a complaint with the Postmaster General? If people are getting ripped off is this not Mail Fraud? I would figure it would be fairly easy for the Postmaster to validate this, would it not?

One big concern with cash4gold is how does it get away with some of the pawn shop laws. A 12 year old kid can not bring things to a pawn shop (stops them from stealing from mom, grandma, or other) Also, do they have to report anyone offering stolen property? Seriously if they operate their own refinery, etc, the stuff could be liquidated (literally) leaving no proof or evidence that can be used.

Oh and by the way, you realize that in most cases gold, silver, or platinum content in your goods may fall far short of the value of the property... For instance a working gold pocket watch will most likely get you $100 at a pawn shop, the actual gold in it may be worth $16, plus if it is an antique you could get more still at an antique dealer.

All and all, even if they are totally legit, they are a very dangerous organization as far as possibly promoting theft, or getting goofy people to send in valuable goods for their minimal gold content, etc.

Don't know why EBAY does not open such a service, you mail in to them your stuff, they appraise and setup the auction for you and take $20 plus 10% of the auction price?

I found a industrial refiner at progressive-environmental.com that pays up to 95% return. They have a mail in program but unlike cash4gold; they pay a fair price. Moneys are paid within 2 days from receipt!

call them at [protected] ext 12 for the precious metal division. If I only would have known them before. Thank Gd for some honest people out there.

Well, I just got a check from Cash4Gold today and it's a good thing that I didn't cash it. Thank you for letting other people know about this company that they are a bunch of scammers and con artists. I will report them. They gave me a check for $3.32 they are not going to get away with this trust me.

I emailed them telling them that they miss leading and I'm not happy at all. I was totally ripped off and I gave them 10k gold and that's not fake. Who do these people think they are to ripp over people like.
