How to Stay Clear of a Gold Scam


With any industry there are those buyers and sellers that take advantage of the uneducated with outrageous numbers. The Gold Buying industry is no different. Everywhere around town you see signs that say "We Buy Gold" or "Sell Your Gold Here".  Problem is, how do you know which place is legit and which place just wants to rob you for your items.

Gold is a high demand product that you cannot afford to lose to scammers. A little research on the company goes along way. Google has become a Best Friend to many consumers for many industries, the Gold industry is no different.

Before you go into a store to sell you Precious Gold items, Google the company. Nowadays this can be done on your Smart Phone in seconds. :)

Here are some key factors to look out for when looking for the fake and truthful Gold Buying companies:


Counterfeit Coins and bars

Counterfeit Gold will  never be found at Gold Buyers of Atlanta. If you purchase over eBay or small private shops there is a risk of getting a counterfeit coin or gold bars. Before buying your Gold, always verify the purchase and the credentials of the seller.

"Gold Gift Certificates"

Some companies offer "gold gift certificates", which likely end up being a scam. Although it may be legit, you really do need to do your homework on this one and dig deep into the company and the kind of certificate they are offering. Research is Key on this one.

Cheap Gold

If you ever see advertised "cheap" gold , I'd run if I were you. Gold Prices are set at standards, if anyone is selling it way below the standard, they are either really crazy or it's a scam. Most cases (if not all) end in the second one. In order to know if the Gold is legit or not, it's important to know what the Gold Prices are. You can check the Current Price of Gold right on our Website atlgoldbuyers.com .

Hope these three tips help you in Finding Legitimate Gold Sellers and not get caught in a scam, which never ends well.
