Navigating the Gold Trade in Africa: A Cautionary Overview Africa offers promising business opportunities, notably in gold trading, but scams are on the rise. Scammers falsely claim mining rights and offer gold at unrealistically low prices, often below market rates. They might invite buyers to inspect goods at hotels, creating elaborate facades. Due diligence is crucial: verify the agent's identity, insist on testing at a designated refining facility, and seek transparency from suppliers. Beware of emotional or evasive responses to reasonable questions. Avoid upfront payments; instead, consider legal handling of payments upon gold verification. Stay vigilant in the African gold trade to protect your time and resources. #gold #cheapgold #africagold #investorsgold #tradinggold

FACTS ABOUT GOLD TRADING IN AFRICA If you rely on “assay report” you are doing it wrong way, as there is no gold dealer in Tanzania, Ghana or Mali that will ever rely on THIRD PARTY’s assay report. Gold dealers and true local buyers are going to assay gold themselves on the place at the moment of the purchase, each single time. Every gold dealer in Africa will burn and smelt gold himself. They don’t need “laboratories”… Every gold dealer in Africa will assay gold himself and if owner agrees, the deal is paid in cash on place.
