@ Mes,

First of all welcome to Antifraud international,

The quantities that are offered are unreal!
Discounts offered, unreal, as well!

All fake offers, make sure you do not forward them, in some countries making offers of non-existing gold is punishable by law.

[Templar]

He's been taken by fraudsters, and will not let go easily.

[MES]

That's really sad for me to hear. Is there some concrete way I can show it to him? Is gold readily available to buy wherever and whenever? There are tons more e-mails and tons more offers, can some of them actually be real? I really need help, my father has been trying to do this for years and keeps saying that tomorrow the bug deal will come, in the mean time he's running out of money, and I'm scared of what will happen next.
Is there a professional in NY that we can contact to help us out?

Thank You and thanks for the welcome

Do a Google search for some of the e-mail addresses that the "gold seller" is using to send these emails out.

The list of results showing how big this scam really is should help to show him these people are fraudsters.

If you are having problems, post some of the complete e-mails with addresses (block out your father`s email address) and I`ll do a search for you.

[Charlie's Angel]

Hi Mes,

If gold trade was easy, we would be all doing it. If there would be any good offers, they would have been picked up, long time ago by the real traders and experts in this businesses.
There is no space for rookies, only to be scammed!

There is such a enormous amount of fake offers, you could fill the atlantic ocean with it.

I am sure there should be more info on the US official sites.

One of the first indications for a fake are big quantities or big discounts.

You can always post the offers on afi, for someone to have a look at this.

[Gentle Giant]

As Charlie's Angel says, you can always post something here that he received. There are some clues about what's fake. And search, search, search. Search everything: email addresses, phone numbers, names, company names.

[magneto]

I ain't no gold mogul, but this thing smells like vomit. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is not how it's done.

[stopscammers]

Beware of this scammer. Name of his company is "Congo Gold Dealer" He has no gold to sell. He's motive is to find innocent people or buyers of gold to scam them out of their money. Do not trust him. He uses Christianity to hide his true motive, but he is NOT A Christian!!He is a Thief! and a Scammer! He holds a Uganda passport. and He works in conjunction with a female partner. He claims to be a part time journalist who needs a second job as a seller's mandate to sell gold. But He has no gold. He will start off by acting as if he can comply with your condtions. No money upfront or no advance payment. CIF to destination. But as you get closer to closing the deal, he will come to you for help to feed his poor family. But it is all a scam from the start.

[scbuster]

every thing in that email is one big scam... the letter was sent to entice the reader to want to ask questions and then get involved in some gold deal. bottomline is that once the reader makes any form of payment. the scammer disappears or keeps asking for more cash. be warned!

[De Master Yoda]

@scbuster. Thank you for your post. I have removed a link from your post as our rules do not allow promotional links.

If the site that was linked to wishes to be mentioned here, then the correct protocol would be for an approach to one of the admins to allow it to be shown on AFI.

A link posted by an unregistered guest would naturally attract some doubt. Thank you.
