Gold Fraud

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.

  1. Does anyone know Robert Mboya (or Nash) CEO of Kelot Logistics In Nairobi, Kenya? He has a driver / help boy called Simon.
    So far they have scammed us of $300k
    Don’t do business with him! He is a liar and a thief!

  2. scammers: Giancarlo Borasio Italian CEO Merry Chamion Company Honk Kong, but works with Naadoro and DPG of Sadiki Etonga and a certain Kim Philsoo Korea.

    Sadiki Etonga has already been involved in an April 2023 gold scam in Iran.

    He claims to be a supplier but he isn’t. But these people cheat with bank documents.

    They offer you to guarantee a money verbiage to use the buyer’s sensitive data.

    Everything perfect, they accommodate all requests.

    Then they blackmail you about the verbiage.

    You send the verbiage and they deliver. Even if the agreements are different in the contract.

  3. Is USA freight delivery a real shopping company and do they keep gold for customer I am flying to Ivory Coast to buy gold from Kone gold miners are they real as well chief Phillip Kone please confirm any of this thank you

    1. My name is Manuela Antonini and I am CEO of Gimec Gold in Dubai. I met Naaduro through an Italian scammer named Giancarlo Borasio who sells cosmetics in Hong Kong but carries out copper brokerage business in Zambia and Tanzania, where the Naaduro company also operates. She lets go. They definitely have the gold, but they asked me as a guarantee for a check for the advance transport costs and the taxes for delivery to Dubai, saying that they would deduct them from the payment, Forget it. All these scams know that even if you sign a contract you won’t get anything by going to lawyers and reporting, meanwhile they have your money.

They even go ahead to bring with them the Chinese after they’ve taken their money to come see where their money will be invested but it’s all a game and tricks that they use. Their company fake company name is HONGKONG QIAOSI TRADING COMPANY LTD. Please be cautious

          1. He even sent an account number from Dubai on a Russian name telling its an agent do you think its genuine

          2. Confirmed frauster/scammer from Togo:

            Mr. Charles Amah Komlanvi/Director
            Agou Precious Metals mining company
            168 E rue des Echis
            B.P. 14047 Lomé
            Republique du Togo
            Phone: + 228 93 92 71 47 18
            eMAIL: agoupreciousmetals@outlook.com
            Export Licence No. PE 10224 AT
            Business Reg No. 2007 B 75586335/42
            Mining Permit No. 966845L

            Charles Amah Komlanvi of Agou Precious Metals gives the following coordinates in his draft contract:
            NAME OF THE BANK

            ECOBANK – TOGO S.A
            BANK ADDRESS: 20, Avenue SylvanusOlympio, BP 3302 Lome Togo
            SWIFT CODE: ECOCTGTG
            ACCOUNT NAME: Agou Precious Metals Mining Company
            ACCOUNT NUMBER: 90148890200457881474
            BANK TEL / FAX: +22822217214, +22822214237
            BANK EMAIL: ecobanktg@ecobank.com
            ACCOUNT OFFICER: Mr. Johnson Mark

            His bank confirmed that these account info are fake.

            The documents from Togo are forged.

            Another variant of his scam is to ask you to buy him or his representative a plane ticket from his travel agent. This “travel agent” is his partner in crime. They will either cancel the ticket and take the money, or use your ticket to go to Dubai for holiday.

  16. Has anyone had similar experiences in Africa, primarily in Kenya and Uganda about people (Sellers, Buyers, Intermediaries) acting or representing themselves as agents of the FBI, CIA or similar Agencies?
    We have stumbled across multiple persons mentioning they are local agents and no proof can be shown. Many of the buyers, sellers etc. seem to believe this.
    Now we have faced about 5 more people just in Kampala acting as “representatives”.
    Is this some new fraud scheme or trick to gain trust from buyers/sellers?
    Its feeling like half the population is hired by an agency… Can somebody explain or tell us about similar experiences?

  17. Beware of scammers in Ghana..
    Gold, cash and precious metals in Ghana are all fake.

    Fraudsters in Ghana claim that they can export gold and cash overseas using chartered cargo using personal effects, crystals, personal bonds, etc. But they are all fake documents. They are vicious criminal cartels that only ask you for money in the name of bribes, transportation fees, and taxes, and then disappear into hiding.

    In particular, Ghanaian fraudsters are closely connected to UAE, Dubai, Cote d’Ivoire, Togo, and Korean criminals, and they are all accomplices.

Has anyone heard of this scam about “gold maintenance?” Of course they want seven $500 Apple gift cards, take pics of the numbers on all the cards and send! To say I’m angry is an understatement.

  20. Dear Friends,
    GOLD FRAUD SCAM!!!!!!! EXXARO MINERALS INTERNATIONAL LIMITED https://exxarominerals.com located AT PLOT 20A LUBOWA ESTATE, KAMPALA UGANDA is a fraud operated by THIER DIRECTOR MUGISHA DRUPPY. He has swindled our representative with 30,000 USD and vanished. PLEASE STAY AWAY!!!!!

    1. Your representative can file case with mineral police in Uganda and your case will be followed, and your funds most probably recovered. Do not believe that cheap gold exists in Uganda, if it does, the present dealers which are many would already buy it. We pay high prices, like 3% below LBMA or even LBMA prices for gold in Kampala. Cheap gold offered to foreigners is scam. For real business, establish yourself as company and buy from villages.

        1. No it is part of a scam with somebody called Patrick in “Selling” gold that has already been sold to others. The gold originates in the DRC.

  21. Dear Readers,
    FAKE GOLD SCAMMERS!!!!!!!
    BEWARE!!!!!! The Company EXXARO MINERALS INTERNATIONAL LTD located PLOT 20A LUBOWA ESTATE, KAMPALA UGANDA are SCAMMERS. One of the Directors named MUGISHA DRUPPY has swindled our company representative in UGANDA AND disappeared. This person also talk about children welfare and uses it as tool to manipulate people and ask GOLD BUYERS to invest in their GOLD BUSINESS he is holding a UAE(DUBAI) VISA also just to show he has regular business abroad. He also has a TIK TO ACCOUNT AND INSTAGRAM account under his personal name. YOUR ADVISED TO KEEP AWAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!

    1. Please note that to export any gold from Uganda one has to refine gold, and exports are obtained from Geological Department in Entebbe for 1,000,000 Ugs. which is about $270. There are only few recognized and authorized refineries, which you have to verify with the same refinery. You should not pay ever any money upfront. Best is when you open up your own company, your own office, with assaying and smelting tools, your startup may cost you US $20,000 and more, but you will understand how business works here.

    2. Dear all readers
      FAKE USD and FAKE GOLD SCAMMER at ACCRA GHANA. culprits is KOREAN AND GHANAIAN !! REWARE !!!

      The company name Global link logistics and shipping co Ltd (https://globallinklogisticsshipping.com) is fake company at accra ghana. And korean HanBin kim (korean passport No: M383K5519) , Bokman shin (korean passport No: M52849591), JinYoung Heo (korean passport No : M313Z9216) , SangSoo Jhun (korean passport No: M53940726) , Dickson Yao or patron Dickson (Ghanaian passport No: G3610613) and no named ghanian.
      The criminals are committing a crime by first showing real money and real gold, then tricking people into believing that it is real money and then stealing the transportation costs. These criminals showed 8 Billion USD in cash and 500 tons of gold bars and scammed 1,200,000 USD in transportation costs. Now Interpol chase to them. THERE IS NO GOLD AND CASH IN GHANA !!!

    1. Refrain from dealing with companies in Uganda as foreigner. First meet the existing gold dealers in Kamwokya, close to Acacia Mall in Kampala, and learn the gold market. You will see that we all pay best prices for gold, then turn on the logic as why would somebody sell cheaper gold to foreigner when they can bring gold and get cash, without any questions asked to existing dealers? And we will pay now US $62, as of December 2023. If you wish to deal with gold in Uganda, establish your own company and organization, as that is how business works. After good promotional actions and investments in mining, you can expect 2-5 kg per day with about $100 – $200 difference per kilogram, as competition here is very high and only those paying highest prices can get few kilograms per day.

  22. Mr. Lee Teng Chun of YH Group PTE. Limited Singapore and Yak Heng Investment PTE. Limited Singapore are fraudulent business entities both in Singapore and Dubai. They are well known gold smuggle syndicate and money launderers with offices in Singapore, Taiwan and Dubai. You will lose your money and your time dealing with them.

  23. West Villa DB Metals Company Limited and Ocean Lane Ghana Limited are under investigation by the Criminal Investigation Department of the Ghana Police for fraud. At least Sam Frimpong of West Villa and Kwaku Mingle, and Nancy Mingle of Ocean Lane are wanted and on the run. Both companies are licensed by the Minerals Commission of Ghana to purchase and export gold. The licensing is a farce and used as a cover for criminal activities. West Villa DB Metals Company Limited has no physical office while Ocean Lane Ghana operates out of a rented container in an area known to be a hotbed for smugglers and fraudsters. West Villa DB Metals Company Limited used false info to incorporate company. Ocean Lane Ghana received the proceeds of crime in Access Bank – East Cantonment branch. The modus operandi of Ocean Lane Ghana is to claim that they will ship the gold, show dummy export documents, make you go away and run away with the money. For any gold business in Ghana, your first stop is the Ghana Police HQ and ask for assistance in verification and protection.

    1. Hello Dennis, my name Is Christian. I’ve been approached by Sam Frimpong of West Villa DB Metals. He never introduced or said anything about the Mingles or their company.
      Is there any possibility that Sam may deliver? He’s trying to get the money to ship 5Kg of Au Dore [96%]. I personally would not advance not a dime. Do you have any update on Sam you may share? Thank you, best ChJ

      1. No – Sam Frimpong of West Villa DB Metals Company in Ghana is a fraudster. Part of a syndicate. Zero chance he will deliver.

        He is wanted by the Ghana police.

        In Ghana, always reach out to the Ghana Police Headquarters and your embassy for assistance.

  24. I have a package that is sitting in Mexico customs. they are requesting $27000. dollars to pay fees and taxes. I’m not paying. The so called owner is in Dubai transferring the owner ship of the gold from her father who was killed in an automobile accident in LA. I paid for the transfer and then I paid the shipping company $9500. all the time thinking I was helping my friend in LA. I guess I was duped. The shipping company is Syntech global logistics Secuity and shipping services. http://www.sglsservices.com. The customs in mexico emails is internationalcustoms9@gmail.com. wonder if that is legit too? Any thoughts will be apprecated

    1. Whiteline Gold Refinery in Zambia is very big scam company in Lusaka. It was setup in February of 2022 purely to scam people because even their Registered address with PACRA is a bogus address and they have 2 Russian ladies and 2 Zambians both wanted by Police. For Gold scams.

    2. Complete Scammers. Just look at the reviews on google maps. I have been working with Exporters in Lusaka recently. None of them will use or vouch for White Line.

  25. NEW FRAUDSTER ON THE HORIZON:
    I transferred around 12,000 usd to one Patrick Turay, (passport number ER 313568), son of one Osman Turay,(passport number ER 274447), of Sierra Leone, which he said he needed to pay as taxes for a trial order of 2 kgs of gold, as I have the possibility of buying much more gold, to bring to Dubai or to Mauritius. As soon as he received the money in tranches, he stopped communicating with me. . I sent a friend from Freetown to contact him, two weeks back. He denied that he knew me though I have his WhatsApp exchanges with me. He also told him that there were a lot of other Patrick Turay in Sierra Leone though I can establish his precise identity through his LinkedIn page, through his passport details and those of his father, Mr.Osman Turay and of his presumed lady partner, Elizabeth Melishatu Kargbo, and through several documents on his company and through pictures he sent to me of his office. I have all documents and pictures to prove what I am stating here.

  28. Sadat Magezi in Kampala, Uganda.
    Poses as buyer, then seller, then broker. Sometimes even uses fake names. We almost got scammed by this guy. He showed up at a meeting with some of our friends and presented himself with a different name than the one he used with us. Many more scams happened and we even lost money to this guy.

    Also a British guy named Ashley Moore. Beware of these people, they will rip you off by asking for down payments and additional costs during the smelting and refining process.

    More and more “brokers/newbies/tourists” are going to Kampala thinking they can make a lot of money. These scammers in Kampala are getting smarter every day and are even starting to use foreigners to scam other foreigners big time, using the foreign people and their companies etc. to hide who’s really behind it.

    1. That is right. I have seen even foreigners participating in fake deals. Number one, if anybody claims to have gold in Kampala, they must have office, and physical location. Meetings in hotels is already red flag for me. Beware of fake offices, those rented for few days. You can verify if the office is real by simply going to Entebbe and asking around in Geological Department of Entebbe, you can get all the details. People are very friendly. The real gold market in Kampala is very straightforward and highly active. Hundreds of kilograms are purchased every day for highest prices. Few dealers will pay LBMA prices. Logic is that cheap gold in bulk cannot be found in Kampala, unless it is scam. Go to villages and establish your business properly and you will get 20% difference.

  29. Mr. Paul Bangura,MR Sidikie

  35. Does anyone know Pacific Gold and Diamonds limited out of Cameroon and/or the CEO Mr. Abdulkarim Ali Karim?

    1. 99% fraud.
      Mr Abdulkarim insists on shipping via a tglog.com logistics company. And he insists that buyers pay for shipment. Will not accept any other shipper. It’s website was caught offline by me. Checks show that site was created less than 2 years ago. Most likely fraud. They want your $$$ sent for shipping.

      1. Mr Abdulkarim Ali Karim of Pacific Gold and Diamonds Limited in Cameroon tried to scam with fake documents:
        ” can show you POP with your name and date and you pay for the exportation documents and shipment documents of the gold and i personally bring it and we not have to work with any logistic if that is okay with you then we not use a shipping company i will fly with the gold”.
        “And i make inquiries for the 50 kg you pay 11640$ foe the exportation and shipping documents i fly with the gold”
        There is a lot of fraud, corruption and illegal mining in Cameroon.

  40. Fake gold testers in Nairobi

    2. AFRISWISS REFINERY WILSON
    3. BONFACE MULI
    4. MAINA
    ALL ARE NOW WORKING WITH SCAMMERS IN NAIROBI AND TAKING 50% SHARE OF WHAT THEY SCAM FROM A CLIENT

    1. are you saying this with no actual proof and just spreading accusations. Boniface Muli and George Mwanthi are both licensed testers , and thats it they are just testers. and hired by both legit dealers and scammers alike.
      Afriswiss refinery is completely above board and we have used them a few times. only refinery not operating in secret and out in the open actually at the airport. doesn’t mean deals do not go wrong. most sellers even legit one do not honor any contract written or otherwise.

      1. Ronald Kania from USA is a fake gold buyer.
        You just take testing charges and share it with George Mwanthi, Boniface Muli and John Maina. These are not genuine gold buyers. Everyone knows what you have been upto and I can even attach evidence. SHAME ON YOU!

        1. I have never charged a seller even a dime for testing. Daniel you have never once produced a gram of gold for testing. And have tried many schemes trying to lure buyers into a trap with fake collateral and fake jet companies and changing your name and number constantly. My identity remains constant.

          1. Bonaface Muli, George Mwanthi ,Maina and Afriswis are now working with scammers in Nairobi. They are now working for Jared otieno kiasa office (Big fake Gold Cartel in Nairobi) , Bruno (Jared’s inlaw) Abas (Ugandan),Amimo(5th avenue), Kenneth (Gigigiri), Leone (kitusuru),Philip Aroko (Runda) They share what they scam on a 50-50% basis, we will share there photos soon with evidence.

      2. They are licenced by whom?? If its true they have credentials i dare you to share their DTL number only then i tell you for sure if they are real testers.

    2. Afriswiss is the only legitimate, professional and honest smelting facility in Nairobi.l, because of this Scammers post negative comments about it in order to make the facility look bad. Then they screenshot the bad comment and show it to sellers or buyers. Then they proceed to lure the naive seller or buyer into smelting in their backyard which is where the scam continues.
      If you do not want your gold switched or stolen go to Afriswiss.

    3. Dear Daniel

Beware everyone you will not see your monies back!

Condition is the buyer is to pay insurance (GIT) Once the insurance policy is paid Niwagaba Muhammed delivers to his own buyer (he is getting a much better price than he offer it to your buyer at a discount from LBMA. He confirmed this to me in person. Please please be careful not to fall for this scam. He is referring the insurance company M&B Insurance Uganda. He is operating with a few mobile numbers.
    You are welcome to contact me on +2778 084 2523

    1. Never do gold business with Uganda. If the deal should be ok and correct it can happen that the customs block or steel Your consignment. Keep out of Uganda. Even Tanzania is not to be trusted for the same reasons

      1. Tanzania is simple, if you want to get scammed it means that you have allowed it because Tanzania even the one that you are buying Gold should have a licenses. So before doing gold business in tanzania ask for mineral dealer license and take it to verify at the ministry

    1. Hi Gerda, how does these guys scam go, I just got referred to them so I am worried I might have given them my personal information, though I have not shared that of my buyer

  51. On 28 June 2021, I entered a 45-day Investment Trading Agreement with:

    1) GOLDEN ORYX FZ LLC, Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates
    2) SAI MALATHY, its owner, Indian Passport No. Z3721406
    3) RAVI SHANKAR MANGIPUDY, her husband, Indian Passport No. U0813543

    RAVI negotiated the agreement, representing SAI and GOLDEN ORYX FZ LLC and represented a successful trading history in hand-carry gold from Africa and transactions in Dubai.
    After Passport proof, IDs, corporate documentation, COLLATERAL PLEDGES, and contracting, $21000 was wired with an agreement for repayment in no more than 45 days of $50000 with a successful trade or, if the trade failed, for $35000.
    A YEAR LATER – SAI, her company, and RAVI managed one wire for $7500, hundreds excuses and delays, two more wires are claimed in addition to $7.5K USD but never materialized, and claims of “investigating and need time to work with the bank” continue for months.
    They reneged and refuse to honor pledged collateral nor repay the lower $35K USD amount.
    The $7500 repayment substantiates the obligation and prior to pursuing solutions in Dubai (and attendant penalties for failed obligations), this post is a last-ditch step encourage the pledge for collateralized repayment to which SAI and RAVI agreed.
    Despite my assistance to them over a year ago and for having delayed collections, Ravi frequently attacks and maligns in his correspondence for my having had the temerity to expect the agreed repayment after assisting them. Somehow he thinks the problem is my fault. A telling test.

    1. 1. The statement of Charles Muszynski that there was an agreement and he invested US$ 21000 with us is correct. Also, it is correct we agreed to pay US$ 50000 including the investment for a successful trade or US$ 35500 including the investment for an unsuccessful trade.
      2. We invested a further US$ 79000 of our own funds, together with Charles’ 21000, total US$ 100000 with a trader in Liberia. The trader scammed us and decamped. Not the fault of Charles nor our fault.
      3. We did our best to return the funds to Charles. Two remittances of US$ 3000 and US$ 12000 were made on 4th November, 2021 and 11th May, 2022 were made – both got stuck in the banking system due to a technical error from the bank in the routing of the funds through a wrong intermediary bank. Not our fault.
      4. We remitted US$ 7500 on 25th May, 2022 and US$ 7500 on 22nd July, 2022, total of US$ 15000, both of which Charles has acknowledged receipt of.
      5. We have committed to return of the balance of investment, US$ 6000 and the agreed profit of US$ 14500.
      We have responded to every email, every text message and have been paying – if the two remittances had not got stuck in the banking system, we would have almost been done by now. Which scammer responds or returns money?
      Charles has made needless accusations despite receiving back money and we urge one and all to ignore the accusatory words of a frustrated man.

An L/C, SBL/C, DL/C are non – negotiable documents but it is common knowledge that only African banks negotiate them and when at the end of the transaction you present Your L/C at their bank counters there is no more money, this due to the fact that the assistant bank manager received matabish

  56. Hi all,

    Anyone familiar with the company and person stated below?

    CEO: MR O. JALLOH
    FREETOWN – SIERRA LEONE

    Your advice will be highly appreciated.

  57. Hi! I would just like to ask if anyone has heard of a company in Cameroon called golden section company ltd based in Cameroon. Thanks

  58. Another day another SCAM:

    Trans Equator Miners (U) limited – Uganda
    Kevin – +256 709 117822

    My associate met with a senator from parliament in Uganda and through him we put in contact with a gold selling company: Trans Equator miners (U) Limited. My associate entered Uganda to facilitate the gold transaction and to ensure the gold arrives in Dubai.

    We paid $50,000 for smelting, Taxes and logistics. We were sent company documents, Licenses and all other relevant documents to believe this was real WHICH WAS ALL FAKE.

    Furthermore, The seller transported the gold to Kenya from Uganda for inter shipping and wouldve arrived in Dubai that same day, Yesterday. The seller informed us United Nations has stopped the goods at Kenya and would require another $50,000 for a certificate to release the AU from Kenya to Dubai. AS PER THE OFFICIAL UN WEBSITE – The UN does not ask a fee to release a package. This was another attempt to extort another $50,000 from us.

    Our initial $50,000 has now been lost and NO gold has arrived in Dubai.

    If anyone has knowledge about this company OR if you know someone at Interpol who can investigate this matter we would appreciate that. IF THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT STOPPED MORE PEOPLE WILL BE SCAMMED LIKE US.

    1. Hi Dino, i’ve been working with this same company currrently and i’ve been asked to send them 50,000 after i sent them the first one. They keep saying they want more documents that cost more money. I can see by now that this is a scam but can you tell me what’s the name of the person that was helping you from their side? I want to see if we’ve been scammed by same people.

    2. The Frauds and scammers just don’t end

      SCAMMED & CHEATED ALONG WITH HIS ASSOCIATES US BY MAKING FAKE DOCUMENTS AND MISGUIDING WHILE FINANCIALLY BENEFITING HIMSELF BY ASKING FOR MONEY TO EXECUTE THE DEAL THAT NEVER HAPPENED

      DETAILS OF THE SCAMMER

      NAME: RICHARD MARSHAL OGUTUS
      KENYAN NATIONAL
      PASSPORT # A2062092 (maybe fake)
      MOBILE: +254 721 865 326

  59. I won’t keep mute and will share my story to save a soul- my story started in 2016 where I met Sgt. Lee on a dating site and I was found in love until one day he said he has come across a box of gold and want to secretly sent to me for upkeep until he returns home I paid all cost but he was always given excuse for a request for money therefore my friend-Dave contacted the Embassy and it was confirmed scam and my case was reported to the Ghana Crime Unit(info.ghanapolice at consultant dot com) as his ip was traced to Ghana and luckily the perpetrators was brought to justice! Beware of scam and if any office asks for money then it’s a scam.

  60. The buyer Mohammed Rasheed Ahmed from Marjan Bullion, a company based in Dubai, is a big SCAMMER, be aware guys! Do not waste time with him and his fraudulent company

  61. https://the79thgroup.co.uk/

    ‘Dave’ David Webster and his son Jake Webster from 79th Group / Seventy Ninth Group.
    Well known scammers in the UK and UAE. Like the old palm oil scams, they say they have mining licenses, take peoples money and then spend it on property in the UK via one of their many companies.
    They have ZERO experience in trading gold or any commodities and zero experience in mining in Guinea, just some pictures of other peoples gold and some very basic mining machinery, from a trip to Africa.
    Ask to see their passport stamps and see how long they have spent in West Africa….feel free to ask who they have done gold trading with and do your due dill! Ask to see their exploitation/industrial mining licenses, and verify with the ministry of mines (easy to do), also ask for videos and pictures of them involved in mining and commodity trading, they will make many excuses, because they don’t have any. Scamming is a family business. DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR MONEY!!

    1. Manfred – I’ve seen this exact same comment on another website. I’d be interested to know how you have come to this conclusion. I’ve been looking to invest with The 79th Group, and can’t find any information that there are scammers involved.

In addition was i would purchase a flight ticket non transferable and can only be used to travel from TOGO to Dubai. .As Premier Precious Metals was supposed to send a representative to witness the Gold being assayed at destination. The only issue became when Emmanmuel insisted that I sent him the money direct instead. Which compltely deviated from the agreed procedure.

    1. Hi Jan, we are busy with final arrangements to purchase 50 Kg Gold Dore from “Good Miners Investments (SL) Limited” in Freetown Sierra Leone. Address 79 Fourah Bay Road, Freetown, Sierra Leone (Website has No 229 Fourah Bay Road?).Seller Mr. Sheik S. Sillah (Managing Director). The have asked for 6% payment (based on Au value) to enable export of the Gold Dore. (Will issue Gold Dore as Collateral for the 6% costs paid). If anyone has dealt with them before please advise of their credibility. Barry

      1. They are scammers, I was personally in Sierra Leone and never recieved my gold or my money back.

      2. Greetings Barry,

        I received an offer from Good Miners Investments SL blah blah blah… As we speak, i am just doing my usual Dd and this is one of the links i saw. It’s taken me at least two or so hours to see the first mention of the name here. If there’s one thing i have, give thanks is patience.
        So the offer is for a trail 25kgs at $48k per kg.

        The seller has English, not Muslim name. With a passport, which i am having checked via my Very trusted local PC Chief. A gmail (always reg flag) and ohhh yeah and asking for 6% export taxes. Then there’s the JP Morgan Chase USA account, without his account name or number or the bank officer details, accept a fax #!! Over the last decade or more, I’ve also been in SL and am Very connected there, Ghana, and most of Africa. When i was last in SL, i met these so-called sellers. Unbeknown to them, i had my security shadow, and video on every meet. Every deal i have Ever been offered for the last decade and more, i take my time, days or weeks even, and do the DD at my leisure. Patience is a virtue!

        It’s so sad reading some very terrible stories of people being scammed of horrendous amounts of they children’s inheritance. These Au scammers are the drug dealers of commodity trading. I call them glorified drug dealers. I’ve been in this business for over a decade and luckily for me, i’ve not be had yet! I had to tell a few of them, that, if needs be, i will track them to wherever they hide and collect them at 3am from whence ever they be. Without mercy! I’ve told one or two, it’s my children’s inheritance, i am hungry, not greedy! So i’ll be sending these boys on there way in a few days. If you need any assistance or further info, drop me a line. I’ll let him sweat a few days more…

  87. Has anyone dealt with Ituri Gold Mining? Paluku? Based in Uganda and wanting to do a test shipment of a few kilos and pay (yes i know the risk here) 50% of the taxes and fees up front which is a few thousand dollars, then scale up over time to higher quantities.

  88. Can someone explain exactly how a payment instrument (SBLC/MT series) is used fraudulently once it’s made available to a scammer? If the instrument is marked as callable only upon delivery / bullion officer inspection / conclusion of contract, how is it possible for it to be defrauded?

    1. Hi

  94. Hi anyone has any information on Fregata Shipping partners managed by Ibrahim Jalloh? Sent him $10,000 and he stopped taking my calls and put off his phone.
    Fregata Shipping partner is a scam company.
    Please beware of them!!

  95. Beware of Fregata Shipping partners from Sierra Leone, Freetown. They are a scam company. Scammed me of over $10,000 belonging to my client.
    Website; fregatashippingpartners.com
    Phone number; +232 75003174
    Address; No 121 motor Road Freetown

    Whenever it’s Time to send money, he will be available. After I send the money, he will go MIA, stop taking calls and switch off his phone. Barnaby warned me but Mr. Ali Jalloh was soo smart and acted as though he was legit. I don’t want anyone to fall into the same trauma I’m in because I’ve lost everything I’ve ever worked for.
    They’ve sold everything I have and locked me up just to repay my clients money.
    Some of the names on the document are; Mohamed Sesay as managing director.
    Please if you have any information that can help me, please send me an email because it’s been over 2 months since a business he promised will not take up to 2 weeks is lasting.
    Beware of Fregata Shipping partners in Sierra Leone.

  96. Any one know SSLGHANA.ORG
    They are dealing in gold export and shipping from Ghana Airport.
    WhatsApp me +923345241605

    1. Be very careful. The owner (George Esandoh) is a member of the gold scam syndicate in Accra. He mostly doing CIF scam where working together with fake sellers. After you pay for taxes, “sellers” dissappear and your money is gone. They share it after.

  97. Has everyone ever worked with MUSHOLA FREIGHT FORWARDERS INTERNATIONAL LIMITED, and LUNAR FREIGHT WORLD CARGO LIMITED, both in NAIROBI?

    Please share your experience

    1. Lunar Freight is a scam. Take your money and never ship. Always a reason but never perform. works with various agents that participate in the scam with them. Have a “customs officer” that also participates

    2. Yes I have bad experience with them they have scam me in Kenya the manager name is Julius kariuki ndung he said he has gold from DRC and will asked you to pay for the export charges and he use fake tracking system then tell you your hold is stuck some where he has an assistant from Oganda name Muwanguzzi victor pls stay away from them

  98. Hi everyone,

    Have someone heard about Ojowa Group in Kenya ? In touch with them since a while..but feels something is wrong.

    OJOWA GROUP LTD

    Represented by : Mr DANIEL OJOWA (CHAIRMAN, PRESIDENT,CEO)

    Address : Kisumu
    Avenue: , Kenya

      1. I have the same doubt about Naaduro Gold Company. I got an offer from them, but their website is down and I am not able to get any information about the Company or Mr. Joshua Magnus Nicol.

  99. Libertyshippingcompany.com is a fake shipping company registered only 46 days ago. They work with so called miners from Kono Community who claim to have gold dust. They offer good deals and i got scammed for smelting charges and shipment that never came. Their website is currently off because i have reported them but they sometimes put the website on. They say they have offices worldwide but are not even registered in Sierra Leone. The case has currently been reported to the CID and Police in Sierra Leone and investigation is pending. They have not availed themselves to police invites to date.

  100. I’d any feedback on AFA-CONSULTATS under Mr Reyad Habboub Bakarat
    They seem to represent huge bullion reserves in Mexico and Switzerland

  101. Does anyone knw Pascal Emmanuel Adjovi owner of premier precious metals mining company of Lome Togo.
    +22890549716

  102. Please tell me who knows these companies and how reliable are ASA NATURAL RESOURCE GROUP LTD Mr HASSAN HABASI MUSA NAIROBI KENYA and another company from Nairobi. Ituri Gold Mines Union

  103. Having checked out the company Fregata Shipping Partners of Sierra Leone, run by Ibrahim Jalloh, it does not exist, the fake website only appeared this year. It is a common scam using false tracking information to extort money from buyers pretending their shipments are rerouted or held up.

  104. Is there anyone with information on a gold seller in Ghana called IDDRISU VENTURES GHANA LIMITED? Are they legit?

  105. Anybody has dealt with Collins Sichula in Zambia?
    He promotes Tanganyikan Commerce Ltd. and Kavumbo Metals Ltd.

    1. Collins Sichula is an out and out fraudster, liar and thief.
      https://judiciaryzambia.com/2021/12/31/app-200-2021-collins-sichula-1-other-vs-ellan-perry-coram-justice-chashi-ngulube-siavwapa-jja/
      He already ripped an investor off for 800k plus and provides fake documents to claim he is shipping metal.
      Every document is fake. As soon as you hand money to him, the excuses start.
      Then, the threats that you cant do business without a work permit and he threatens you with immigration.
      Every time you think you are close – he changes the deal and asks for more money. Avoid Collins Sichula like the plague.

    1. Very bad experience with the Frovio company owner Michal Tjituka before as regards Diamond concessions in Namibia. Suggest you do not deal with Frovio.

      1. She will not perform. I also believe she has connections with govt people because I have turned in all of my information into the Namibian govt (mining comm., customs, exports…) and nothing comes of it

    2. She is a full scammer. She will not deliver. Lost over $80,000 in pieces trying to get a delivery from her

    1. Yes been discussing a deal , he seems to be acting on behalf of Zambian mines but difficult to conduct correct due dilligence so most likely a scam.

    2. This is a company run by Charles Holland who also ran Hollmec Mining. Both are mentioned on this sight. A Mr Charles Holland is also connected to another Zambian company called Octus Minerals but claims to be the cousin of the Charles Holland of Hollmec.

      1. Hi Apepic, I looked for both HOLLMEC AND CHARLES HOLLAND on this site and did not find, can you share info?

  106. My boyfriend and I got mixed up in a gold dust scam in Nigeria. His friend, Henderson, says it is a quick way to make money. I spent $6k of my own money was to receive $55k. The money I received was fraudulent. My account frozen, had to file with the FBI. Henderson told me the company was Kim’s gold dust in the USA. It isn’t. They have nothing to with it. Huge scam!!!

    and they claimed to have smuggled it to kenya for better control where mwesigye connected me with his fellow scam called Fahad a kenyan national his number +254756739056 and i fly to kenya to meet fahad and fahad has company called Mosaic Jadar international Ltd and i paid Fahad Usd64000 fo UN Non criminality certificate and Ownership Certificate

Mwesigye he didn’t sent original golds in kenya what they showed in kenya was just fake gold.
    they never sent gold to Dubai

    1. Uganda they work with a company called Balak global minerals Limited, they use fake websites which’s afro-plussecurityinternational.com
      avoid these people at all cost!! we have suffered a loss of over 120.000USD we would not want anyone else to suffer the same.

    2. good afternoon, they are still active, same story : we where contacted by this Desire +243995272498 they send us a video showing some gold ( 500 KGS )in some security warehouse, and send us certificates, who are fake after control, we called the DGSM Uganda, who should have provide those documents , but never heard about them. Same story : we should come to inspect the product in Uganda, and should pay 6 % export taxes in advance ????, we have videos, fake certificates…..

  108. Is there any one knows —- Paul M Martin ( British )—- PMSM limited – RC 07837895—— is this scam company ?

    1. Afternoon , Yes this is a scam.
      Mr Martin can be called on his UK cell phone to confirm.
      Google search the company name PMSM Limited in UK for details.

    2. Look out for his aliases Jack Roy, Corinna Muir, Greg Hall. Why the hell would anyone ask for blocked funds or an SBLC for FOB gold?

      And if you think Paul’s good, he has stiff competition in Robert Cohen.

      1. 1. Is there any one knows Mr. Joel Gaetan Fylla slown —- company name: general biz service — Brazzaville Congo?
