I worked for this company as a telemarketer and I have witnessed every single accusation brought up against this company. Part of their procedure was to get a picture of the new client along with the wiring information to get their money. The CEO James Burbage passed around a picture of the new client and wrote a demeaning comment next to his picture. The comment he wrote called the client "the biggest sucker and idiot in the world." They made it very obvious to everyone that their intention isn't to help the new clients but to screw them out of their finances.

There are many legitimate precious metals companies out there and this is obviously not one of them. This is indeed a scam and ponsie scheme.

NATIONAL FUTURES ASSOCIATION APR l0 2008 COMPLAINT ALLEGATIONS
James R. Burbage and Frank Gaudino both were employed by Meredian Commodity Corporation. 
 Gaudino had previously  been employed  by a firm that was about to be put on NFA's list of
Disciplined Firms 
- an event which  could have triggered  an obligation by MCC to
undertake  the enhanced  supervisory  requirements  because  it already  employed
several otherAPs who had worked for Disciplined  Firms.  

State of Missouri
Office of Secretary of State
CONSENT ORDER AS TO RESPONDENT FRANK GAUDINO SUMMARY OF ENFORCEMENT SECTION'S ALLEGATIONS The Enforcement Section of the Missouri Securities Division ("Enforcement Section") has alleged that Frank Gaudino, ("Gaudino") committed acts in violation of Section 409.803.1, RSMo.

(Higher!) Absolutely!2.  Supply and Demand Imbalance.  With industrial and investment demand at one of the highest levels in history were in the midst of a global slowdown -- a high lack of supply is shown coming out of the ground!  Lack of Supply + Higher Demand = What??  (Higher Prices!) Exactly!3.  Geopolitical tensions.  This is the wild-card!  We have ongoing tensions in the middle-east, threats of nuclear capability by Iran and North Korea, and the possibility of terrorist attacks in you home country!  These tensions have caused investors to look for safe havens to invest in and for thousands of years the safe haven has been precious metals.  What do you think will happen to the price if these tensions escalate?  (Skyrocket!) Absolutely!Overcoming Objections:Are you following me on all this? Does this make sense to you?

(Great).My secretary is going to inundate you with research materials, news articles, and some risk disclosure so that you fully understand the market that we are going into.  Do you follow me?  (Fantastic!)Are you still holding on to that pen? (Great).  You need to jot down a couple quick figures to correlate with the package I am sending to you.  I want you to make a decision based on facts and not emotion.  Does that make sense?  (Great) One of the great advantages of trading with ____ precious metals program is the ability to utilize leverage.  Are you currently utilizing leverage in the stock market, or do you typically buy and hold on a one-to-one basis?  Follow me closely on this -- this is the meat and potatoes!$50,000 / 18.00 per ounce (Current Price of Silver) = 2700 oz (Round Down 100's)2700 x 3 times leverage = 8,100 oz Silver8,100 oz Silver x 18.00 = $145,800 TMVThat's the beauty of it!  We make our money on what we control, and not what we invest!  Do you follow me?  Great!$145,800 TMV - $50,000 Down = $95,800Market moves up to a recent high of $22.l00 per ozSell 8,100 oz @ 22.00 per oz = $178.200 Gross Return on Investment (Circle that!)$178,200 - $95,800 Credit Due - $50,000 - $32,400 Net Return on Investment (Circle that!).Do you see how I got that number?Does that make sense?Is that the type of money you are looking to make?
