NOW TO THE ORIGINAL REPORT THAT WAS FILED
=====================
Goldline A Rip Off Sells me inferior coins when I call about bullion Santa Monica California
I called Goldline asking questions about purchasing Gold bullion. I think of myself as less than gullible, but I was surely taken. Stephanie Howard, the Salesperson "account executive" touted me on Swiss Francs. I hesitated and she offered to send more info.
When I recieved the glossy brochure with a copyright of 2003 I should have been cautious. I was stupid and ordered two packages after a week an getting caught up in her downplaying the importance of my "trade". I called the next day and left a message to cancel. I heard nothing back and emailed canceling the trade within the seven days stated. She waited until the seven days had past to call me back, saying if I still didn't want them I could refuse the delivery.
Well, the stuff didn't come for another week. By that time my anger had subsided and I accepted the delivery, curious to see what I had purchased. Too late to send them back. She said she'd keep me up to date and let me know where my "investment" stood every couple of weeks. At a 30% markup that'll take a while if ever. Stay away from this company!!!

Update: I was recently contacted by Goldline's customer service. It appears that the whole dispute is a complete misunderstanding through a breakdown in communications. Many of my emails, that I thought were unanswered never made it through, whether a spamblocker or other. Similarly, some of their responses were blocked coming into me. To any future prospective clients I recommend picking up the phone, something I did not do. Once I actually spoke to their customer service they were able to provide a one time exception to their return policy (one of the emails they apparently never received) and arranged to pickup the coins at their expense and refund my purchase in full. Indeed they are the stand up company they appear to be on their website.

Been in the business 24+ years. ANYTIME I have anyone walk into my shop with those Swiss 20f, I know they've been screwed. Odd weight, odd size, hard to compare shop. Same goes for the Brit. Sovs. or any of those other oddball coins. Stick with the eagles. At least you can compare and know what you are getting. Had a guy walk in last week and he had been "sold" the Swiss frances at a high premium over melt. He made money cause gold was double what he had "bought at", but he would have made a whole lot more if he hadn't been ripped off.
