Looks like that dude is giving you the international peace sign with his finger !!! :mrgreen:

He very well could be in one sense. Let's say he needs money and can get away with a scam, I'm sure he wouldn't mind breaking a partnership. We've only done business with small merchandise. Human nature. But the guy never betrayed me before so I think he just met this new guy or legitimately trying to scam me (despite previous earnings?... i dont know...)

In any case I'm not the gold expert, some of you guys said it doesn't even look like gold, as for the bags the big looks kinda strong. Keep in mind I'm only humoring this situation... must be greed
 
I agree with all of the experienced comments to this post. Money doesn't come looking for you, rarely is something easy or free, why would people with this kind of loot need to even bother the good people of this forum. If that is true gold in the quantity pictured, I don't care who you are, gold talks and you could get it out of the country it's in, get it to wherever you want, and probably not have a lot of questions asked although your loot bag would be lighter. As far as the OP goes, I would think that when we are talking about the portions pictured, a lawyer and/or a customs/import specialist could easily answer the questions asked. "Found by the railroad tracks" - REALLY. Is that the same as "fell off the back of a truck"? I used to think people like Harold were too hard core but given this type of performance I fully understand his and others stance. OP - if you are for real and this situation is real then you shouldn't have to ask us what to do, the black market will get you there!

Those pictures are totally fake. Only a fool would believe they are real. Look at the first picture, the sides of the bag are not even slightly bulging from the weight of all that gold.... hilarious is right Goran :lol:
Who carries gold around in a garbage bag? Heck, I have a hard enough time carrying in my rolled up nickles and dimes into the bank with a plastic bag, never mind gold bullion!

You're right the sides aren't bulging... sigh. I attached another picture. My greed may have blinded.
In any case I should be grateful for the replies.

No no I was being sarcastic about the "off railroad tracks" I wanted to emphasize the hypothetical aspect of a situation. In any case, we know nothing about the Congolese and who he works for or what quantities he sells and how much to who etc. Keep in mind I'm still speaking in a hypothetical way knowing that this is probably a scam.

Enjoying the performance?? Just start worrying if I try to sell you this, for now we're just having fun.
 
No one's humoured me yet. So this is what I'd do:

1) Ask him to send a small amount without payment (trusted relationship, so he'd do it) then test it. If it's real then I pay what I have based on predetermined agreed market value with contact.
2) I keep asking for small quantities with further incentives to pay for next shipment.
3) If he screws me once we're done.
4) Come back to these forums and gloat.

Voila! Kinda simple. Convenient he works for FedEx...
 
Pretty clear what this is. I think the whole thread should disappear.
Unless of course, it is considered entertaining, in which case should be moved to the jokes section. :|
 
Secure..... now that's funny. There is nothing secure when it comes to digital transmissions. Every thing from the pictures to the post you made is tagged with gps and digital data that's tells them who, what, where, how, and when.
 
Making post and then deleting them because you didn't get the answer you wanted will get you banned. I seen that post! No one is hete to humour you or your crazy notions it will work. If you want to find out for yourself then more power to you, but don't ask questions and then argue about the advice you get when you don't get the fairytale answer you want. Better people than you have been scammed. Especially when it seems you already are in over you head and don't know it.

Hey someone deleted my post! Anyhoo, you were saying? Do you have a graph exemplifying your criteria on "better than you"? I've always been more visually inclined. Otherwise don't be rude. And I want my post back!
 
Damman,
It looks like Harold deleted your post, I am sure for good reasons.

This whole post is obviously about a gold scam, who is scamming or trying to cheat who, I do not know, con artists are skilled in the art of deception, they are normally good at getting people to trust them or what they say, they are also good at baiting hooks to try and catch some suckers.

There are not many suckers on this forum most all here have a fair education when it comes to gold and dealing with it, and have a fairly good understanding how the thieves work to steal others gold or money.

We see a lot of the scammers come here on the forum, most all of them are very obvious, and here it is obvious someone is trying to set a trap, sometimes it may take a bit to see who is trying to set a trap, but is it found out.


Damman,
You are new to the forum, and you bringing this topic to the forum, which gives me rise to suspect that even you could be involved in the scam, or trying to scam others, I do not know you, or know if you are, or not, if not and the others are trying to scam you then you should listen to the common sense and advice given, do not be a sucker for something so obvious as this stupid gold scam.

Promoting a scam, or promoting illegal activity on this forum,. Will get you banned.
And very likely reported to the Authority's.
Thieves do not profit here.
The forum can also help give you an education how not to be a sucker to those thieves.

In some ways I tend to agree this whole page should be deleted because it looks like it is going nowhere, but then again sometimes it is interesting to see how these things play out, sometimes members learn from it.
 
Learn from it they will. I'm leaving it, and not locking, so we can see just how damned stupid people can be, displaying their ignorance for the world to read here.

Damman, you're lucky you edited your post. Had I found the f word used, you'd have immediately joined the ranks of those who are not welcome here. You'll be on your best behavior from this moment forward, or you're gone.

Get one thing straight. No one is going to come to you with an offer to make money on a commodity that has a ready market. If this was a legitimate circumstance, there's no end to places where it could be marketed at virtually full value. There is something wrong with the entire deal. If it IS gold, it most likely is not theirs to sell.

Are any of you guys familiar with the alloy that is used to make yellow gold? It looks very much like the material in that plastic bag. Could be it's a little brighter, but that is easily accomplished with a cleaning operation with cyanide. I expect any thief would be more than happy to brighten up that which is worth only a few bucks per pound when it could then be sold for thousands of dollars per pound.

Do I know that's what it is?

Well, no, I don't. However, I'm more than troubled by the idea that there may be several hundred ounces of gold sitting on that car seat, and yet it (the seat) isn't the slightest bit distorted. Gold weighs nearly three times the weight of the alloy in question, assuming that's what it is.

Money never goes looking for people. If you don't learn anything else from having known me via this forum, know that. It will save you countless numbers of times, especially if you're gullible.

Harold

Thanks butcher, your post is appreciated. I do agreed this page is now dying/dead, but it was interesting seeing it play out.

I haven't been rude with anyone, nor used the f word towards a person, nor would I would I try to sell/scam anyone. I'd keep all this beautiful fake gold to myself.
