As one of the fastest growing Gold companies in Europe and the Worlds largest Gold fraud /scam resource we get 80 to 100 offers a DAY. We’ve had every gold scam tried on us time and time again. We have lists of over twenty thousand fraudulent companies and individuals, we couldn’t hope to list them all here.
The service we provide is to act as a secure intermediary between buyers and sellers, to transact your deal safely negates all these risks and brings our wealth of knowledge into your deal. The small charge for our services outweighs the risk a thousand times over.
- We will do a preliminary $99 check on any company or person to determine if they are listed on any of the fraud databases. Just send us the relevant information and you can pay via Paypal using our email address. Contact us now with the information.
- Should you wish to proceed , then this can be followed by a $999 report. Which will then check out the authenticity of the deal, the validity of any paperwork, do a background check on those involved and ensure your procedures are following safe guidelines.
- Should they pass these checks then you can proceed to our buyers or sellers pages.
5 Most common types of fraud:
1) The most common is sellers asking you to pay upfront costs. This can be shipping which can be many 1000’s of dollars. You are unlikely to receive your parcel and don’t expect to find much Gold in it if you do. Asking for a ticket to escort the Gold to you (aka free holiday) or asking for a letter of introduction to the business. If a seller wishes to escort the Gold product and needs a letter for customs. Basically using your company to support their visa application, so unless you want to be dragged into a case for illegal immigration, do NOT send the letter.
2) A lot of the larger deals will ask YOU to send proofs. Names of buyers, proof of funds, passport copies etc. Do NOT send anything to anyone who you aren’t 100% sure of. These proofs are then used to run scams in your name, especially passports!
3) More detailed scams will ask for a buyer to create a payment / financial instrument. Some form of bank MT103, SBLC, BG or escrowed funds. These funds are not to be paid out until completion of the deal, giving the buyer security. These CAN be monetised or used as proof of funds to go out and purchase Gold to sell to the buyer. A rapidly growing scam. This can even be done with an MT799.
4) Fake Documentation! With so many gold offers around scammers reuse documentation, photo shopping signatures from one to another, changing dates, etc.
5) The inheritance scam seems to becoming more popular. Example: My father died and left me 40 kilos and I just need so many dollars to release it. These are often backed up by equally corrupt lawyers or advocates in Africa. A variation on this theme is the girlfriend or boyfriend befriending you and then promising to come visit / marry and just needs a few thousand dollars to release gold to sell to cover their trip. Then a bit more and a bit more, etc.
There are many variations on the scams listed and of course every one will claim that they are the real thing and have had problems with fake buyers before and dont want to get caught again.
We have established that for every deal we see 99.9% of ALL deals are fraudulent. Can you afford to lose 999 out of every 1000 deals you do?
FOR SELLERS : There is as high a percentage of fake buyers out there as fake sellers. Buyers using trumped up companies and documents pretending to be large multi billion dollar conglomerates when in truth its a dealer looking to flip the deal using his range of contacts in social networking sites.
The ways to avoid these scams are to thoroughly do your research, ignore anything on a social network site. Check the longevitiy of the company, size, website, directors, previous dealings in the industry, etc. Or alternatively get us to do it for you.

Was speaking to this guy for over a year. Promised to bring 1kg of hand carry as a trial shipment. Taxes and shipping were paid to him however when it was time to arrive, excuses made and asked for flight ticket. I said i will book for him however he insisted on booking himself. So paid further for his flight ticket also. He shared flight details after booking however never showed and when i called him to confront him about this, he kept ignoring calls. Be careful as too many Scammers in Africa. Id advise to deal with accredited people only as majority of these self proclaimed “sellers” are all brokers or scammers. Anyone else in the same problem as me finding reliable sellers, feel free to reach out and we can work together and find a reliable supplier.

Acacia Limited on Riverside Drive.
There were a few others involved but the names above are the main men I communicated with. They will tell you their family is in politics, even making a fake person and having a French phone to text from. It has been four months since I went to Kenya, inspected and paid money for gold they were showing, and selling. I then went to Dubai as instructed. I waited there for a week and after that, decided to leave with the negotiation of a different time being better for everyone. Five months later despite the reassurance of refund being made, there’s nothing and doubt ever will be.
If anyone runs into these individuals and needs my assistance, contact ZenGold for my information and I’ll be happy to show proof and compare it to what you’re going through.

A vast gold scam network is under investigation between Mali, Ivory Coast and Dubai. The Comptoir Malien de Négoce et de Distribution (CMND) group, headed by Mr Daouda DIAWARA, is the front line in a network of organized criminals exploiting child miners in Mali, scamming, racketeering and money laundering, including numerous politicians in Mali and Côte d’Ivoire.
This organization is made up of Mr. Diawara, Malian passport AA0032150, a former Malian student at the Sorbonne in Paris. From their office in Abidjan at the DEUX PLATEAUX VALLONS, they use fear to exploit a network of miners in Mali who exploit children from an early age. The current investigation reveals that these activities, well known to the local authorities, are covered up by Malian politicians who take advantage of the scheme to launder misappropriations received in cash.
In addition to using children in the mines, to avoid taxes on capital gains, mining companies in Mali send their gold in transit from Mali to Côte d’Ivoire, then on to Dubai. The complicated maneuver is to avoid declaring the gold sold in Dubai to the Malian authorities, with a clever exchange of documentation under customs control in Côte d’Ivoire. Every 99.99% unrefined mined gold has a unique chemical signature that makes it possible to identify the exact region from which it comes. To avoid this, CMND mixes their gold from Mali with that from their mine in Côte d’Ivoire to falsify customs checks in Dubai.
To secure the political support needed for this exchange of documentation and gold mixing, they are tasked with laundering cash obtained by these politicians through embezzlement. Getting paid in cash only in Dubai when selling gold. Using the proof of cash payment for gold, they can justify depositing large sums of cash in the bank in Dubai. The cash in the bank is that obtained by corrupt politicians where the gold cash payments are transferred via the Hawala network in Africa.
Their company, through intermediaries who are partners in their scheme, use their reputation for quality to bring foreign investors into their scam. Mr. Foulo Basse , a graduate of the University of Paris XII and the I.H.E.A.L. of the University of Paris III – Sorbonne Nouvelle, Foulo BASSE began his career as a financial project manager at the French Food Safety Agency (A.F.S.S.A.) and for the European Commission. Also a board member of one of Mr. Diawara’s companies in Côte d’Ivoire, he uses his profile to trap foreign investors.
Once the investor is assured of a “quality” partner, he finds himself investing in CMND. CMND never delivers the gold to the customer, and uses the money to increase its gold export capacity and strengthen its structures. The trapped investor finds himself in a relationship with criminals where Mr. Diawara buys time to increase his profits while lying about the true use of the funds. Until now, politicians have been protected by the protection they were paid so dearly for, but the involvement of several government bodies in the fight against the financing of terrorism is likely to change all that.
The international and Dubai authorities have been notified, and a judicial inquiry will follow in the coming weeks.
Hello S,
Thank you for sharing this update with the community. It seems that this organization has also a connection with another company called ROYAL LINK (Country: MALI), which is used for “fake” SKR. Their company in Côte D’Ivoire has not been identified yet. It would be great to also mention this company’s name here (if known) so that others can be informed about it. I am looking forward to reading further updates on this organization.
Our world would be a better place without these “fake” people in the business.
Hi Jonas,
CMND and Royal Link are indeed connected and owned by the same person. They do not have a legal entity or the necessary export licenses from Côte d’Ivoire but trade under Comptoir Malien de Negoce et de Distribution (CMND) and they have been trying to illegally sell ‘in transit gold’ from Mali through Côte d’Ivoire. The Côte d’Ivoire authorities have been notified and confirmed that their activities are illegal and they cannot sell gold from their base in Abidjan.
Daouda Diawara uses 2 phone numbers that we know of:
+223 60 74 88 88
+223 61 88 79 58
They also have a business registered in Dubai which we are searching the details of to warn the rest of the community.
They appear legitimate and present fake documents from Côte d’Ivoire to lure investors but then never deliver the gold and keep the investment.
Diawara and Foulo Basse are also linked to large universities in Paris and use this to add credibility to their fraudulent activity.
Hello S.
It is being a while.
I have being struggling to get latest updates and information about the name of company incorporated in UAE or Abidjan
by this scammer group CMND. Did you find any further information about them?
I will share here updates as soon as I hear any news.
Best Regards,
Jonas

Dubai Firm Lose Cash Over Gold – Court I By Dickson Jere
A Dubai businessman was looking for Gold in Zambia. He was introduced to purported traders under the name of Lusaka Gold and Platinum Refinery Limited. He sent his agent to Zambia who linked up with the “sellers” and took him to Ibex Hill area where the so-called factory was situated. They assured him all was well and he then proceeded to pay USD 277,000 as payment for 45 kg of gold. They even gave him Air Waybill before they withdrew the money from the bank after a further USD 500,000 was paid. But they never delivered the goods!
However, while the “transaction” was going on, they convinced the Dubai man of another consignment of 123 kg and he made payment of ZMW 8.1 million through FNB bank. But bank smelt a rat and immediately alerted authorities who then froze the accounts.
When DEC came in, it discovered that the Air WayBill was fake and the purported sellers did not have any license from Ministry of Mines to trade in minerals. Consequently, DEC seized the funds and applied through the DPP to have the same forfeited to state as tainted property.
But the Dubai man through his company filed claim as interested party, arguing that the funds were clean and he was merely victim of scam and therefore should be given back his money.
A panel of three Judges of High Court heard the case. The main question was whether the money should be given back to the businessman.
The Court, after hearing both sides, determined otherwise.
“On the evidence, the interested party failed to take even basic steps to verify the legality of Lusaka Gold and Platinum Refinery Limited’s operations in Zambia,” the Judges observed, adding that the buyer should have done some due diligence before paying.
“By ignoring these clear red flags and choosing to proceed with the transaction, the interested party acted in willful blindness,” the Court said.
The Judges noted that any prudent buyer would have checked whether the seller is genuine and that he had licences to sell Gold before even making payments to the sellers.
“It is trite that ignorance of the law is not a defense,” the Judges said.
“We emphasize that forfeiture laws aim to wrest benefits from wrongdoing, participants who turn a blind eye to obvious illegality cannot claim innocence,” they added.
The Judges then ordered the forfeiture of the money.
“In the result, the interested party does not have a legitimate claim to the sum of ZMW 8,142,251.04,” the Court ruled.

Lecture Notes;
1. Section 31 of the Forfeiture of Proceeds of Crime Act of 2010 provides a defence to interested party who acquired an interest in property for fair value after the crime had been committed but could not reasonably have known about the crime or tainted property. In this case, the Court said the Dubai firm did not do fair due diligence. If it did, would have known about the crime. So the Defence fell off.

Potential Gold Investment Scam – Ravishankar Mangipudi and SaiMalathy RaviShankar
We would like to alert everyone about Ravishankar Mangipudi (Indian Passport No: U0813543, Mobile: +971 528172969) and his wife Sai Malathy RaviShankar (Indian Passport No: Z3721406, Mobile: +971 568104375), who are involved in a suspected gold investment scam through their company, Golden Oryx FZ LLC (RAK FZ License No: 5023902).
They approached us in January 2024, claiming to run a successful gold trading business in Africa. We initially invested AED 75,000, with promises that gold bars would be shipped to Dubai within two weeks. However, they later demanded additional funds for documentation and other expenses. From January to May, we were scammed out of AED 280,000. Despite multiple promises, they have shown no intention of repaying the amount and continue targeting others, including friends and relatives.
We have all the proof of payments and chat details to support our claims. If anyone else has been victimized by these individuals, feel free to contact me for further clarification at [0561027664)
