Good evening
Yesterday came'd my friend that works in Jeweler's shop here in Montevideo(Uruguay)
He told me A curious case about Fake Gold Scam.
Last week comed a man with Gold Chain of 25 Gr weight.
He told that he want to sell it, The Chain had grab Tiffany&Co and 750 Germany on the lock.
My friend went to check it with Acid Test of 18K, the result was positive of 18 K gold.
So he paid him the money and the man leave'd.
After my friend melt the Chain and he saw that is just had many microns of Gold Plating.
He discover'd that its were of Stainless Steel,
So he don't understand how the man could swindle him with the chain, its impossible that the chain passed Acid Test.
And he not only scratched the chain in the stone and put the acid, he also apply the acid in the top of the chain to see if it real.
The only form its possible if the Chain may had MANY microns of Thickness of Gold plating( 20,30,40)
