Dollars4Gold Canada Deceptive and Rip Off Internet
April 30, 2010 To whom it may concern: We recently had a lot of silver jewellery that was taking up space in our house. The silver was actually in display cases and each case had the identical silver items. We decided to just sell them for their silver value alone. We sent the first packet from one display case to a different online company. They returned a cheque, which was a little less than we thought it would be $110.40 (included some small gold items) – but still a fair amount (when you consider that they pay for the assaying, express post, and are after all in the market to make money). Their breakdown of the (silver) amount I received was as follows:
- Silver 7 neck, 2 bracelet, 4 bangles, 15 rings, 5 pr earr SilverCGS Silver / CGS 460.97 2010/03/29 $0.23 - $106.02
- I sent the exact same package of silver pieces in weight and actual items to dollars4gold and the jewellery pieces were as follows: 15- .925 rings, 2 - .925 bracelets, 4 - .925 bangles, 5 pairs of .925 earrings, and 7 - .925 necklaces - $28.00.
When we called the their hotline, they tried to tell us that we had sent them silver that was silverplated and/or less than the .925 that was stamped on each piece. At a cost of almost more than the offer we sent it back immediately so they would receive it within the ridiculous 10 days. To get our jewellery back by expedited post we have to enclose a $10.00 money order. Dollars4gold does not give you a breakdwown of what your items were valued at, but other companies do. We feel that dollars4gold is a total scam.
I did go on camera on Global TV Calgary last May to expose this scam.
