London gold body LBMA says it fell victim to fraud over conference payments One of the sources told Reuters the gold association lost around 268,000 pounds ($350,000) in a fraud related to payments it made for arranging the precious metals conference, adding the LBMA will use more of its reserves to pay for the October event. What do they say "You couldn't organise a p!ss up in a brewery?" I guess membership fees will double again like they did post Covid!

Popular gold scam: The Expired Gold 🚨 From the engagement on my posts, it's clear that real-life tales from the gold trading industry capture everyone's interest far more than anything else. So, I thought many of you would be intrigued (and fellow professionals will share a laugh with me) by the prevalent scam known as "expired gold." Let me be clear - don't fall for this trickery! I've received numerous offers like this and heard tales of how newcomers took them seriously, only to lose their hard-earned money. The pitch usually goes like this - there are 300/500/1000 kg or even several tons of "expired" gold available for purchase at a discount of 8-15% off the LBMA price. Supposedly, this gold belongs to a major bank/billionaire/Japanese Emperor (yes, seriously - I was persistently offered this and assured that it was verified information, claiming it's the Emperor's gold - the tales they come up with!), but it's "expired" gold, meaning it's over 5 years old, and therefore, the owner is selling it at a discount because "serious people don't hold expired goods," and they'll buy "new" gold instead. 😂 And if a gold owner decides to change the serial number on the bar or add a new year engraving (some bars feature both), they can easily melt the gold and obtain "new" bars within a day, paying the refinery a mere 0.05% (or perhaps even less). Obviously, there's no reason to offer a discount on gold just because it's "expired"; this deal is a scam. If you find yourself dazzled by offers of big profits in gold trading, start by seeking advice from professionals. Only after careful analysis and risk assessment should you reach out to me; I'm open to communication. Additionally, our company, in accordance with Dubai's laws for gold companies, subscribes to expensive services (World-Check, Focal etc.) that check against more than 2000 daily updated databases - if you're interested, for a small fee ($50-100), we can verify your potential partner and help you conduct business safely.

Gold Bar Authentication: Ensuring the Real Deal In the world of gold investing, authenticity is paramount. With the rise of counterfeit gold bars flooding the market, it's essential to verify the legitimacy of your precious metal investments. One of the most reliable methods for determining whether your gold bar is real is through a series of visual and physical inspections. Look for hallmarks, serial numbers, and other identifying marks that indicate the bar's origin and purity. Additionally, consider seeking professional authentication from reputable dealers or assay offices. These experts have the knowledge and equipment to conduct thorough tests, such as specific gravity tests, acid tests, and X-ray fluorescence analysis, to confirm the authenticity of your gold bar. Investing in trusted sources and established brands can also mitigate the risk of purchasing counterfeit or fraudulent gold bars. Remember that protecting yourself against counterfeit gold bars requires diligence and caution. Stay informed, conduct thorough research, and trust your instincts when purchasing gold bars. By taking proactive steps to verify the authenticity of your investments, you can safeguard your wealth and peace of mind in the ever-evolving landscape of gold markets. #GoldInvestment #GoldBar #PreciousMetals #Authentication #GoldForgery #InvestmentSecurity #CounterfeitGold #WealthProtection #GoldBullion #InvestmentTips #bullion #bullions #bullioncoin #bullionforlife #gold #goldbullion #goldbullions #GoldBullionInvesting #ShineLikeGold #InvestInGoldBars #GoldenInvestment #PreciousGoldBullion #GoldStacking #BullionForWealth #PureGoldBars #GoldenPortfolio #BullionCollectibles #GildedInvestments #GoldReserve #GoldBullionMarket

*Be careful with Scammers before you make a decision to buy gold* It has been almost a year now, I've been doing research on how Scammers steal money from Investors pretending to be a genuine Seller. Gold Scam is now common in Africa, many of them invite Investors from different parts of the world, when they arrive in their country, they create a good environment for them to be trusted, sometime they have all information before you reach them, they prepare a nice plan that suits you, especially those who tell you they sell gold through CIF, one of the ways they steal from people is through smelting! they will show you the genuine gold and taste infront of you the one said to be collateral, but they prepare fake collateral different from what they showed you! sometimes they accept you to take it as single custody and give you a sweet talk, "we give you one kg as security, you just give $40,000 to make documents, may be you agree with them cif procedures for 5kg or 6kg" depends on the coatation they will give you, what we know they cannot agree to give you 1kg genuine gold as security for that price and when the world price at this time is $60,000+ per kg depends on purity, so they will try any means to remain with or replace it with a fake collateral! we will proceed from here!
