This has nothing to do with the rest of thread subject.

What's preventing you from starting your own thread?

To be fair to Bluelass there was an entire thread about a buy your gold refinary in Hatton Garden. The thread had a number of suspicious new posters praising such company.

I was a contributer to the thread and it was noted they used a virtual office address in Hatton Garden and the website had the address of the company intentionally hidden along with no registered company name. So if you had any problems you would be dealing with a virtual office address so difficult to enforce any court actions.

The thread had a number of posts deleted and fairly recent new critical posters had edited their posts to solelt state that basically indicate they had been lent on and it was not worth the hassle.

I'm guessing the owner had leant on MSE and had the whole thread removed which is odd as the posts from the existing MSE members including myself were correct.

You can find the thread in google cache by googling my name and hatton garden.

I contacted trading standards and they are going to contact GR. TS say they contacted the RM and they are not at any fault the package was signed for and no evidence of tampering by post office staff and to be fair I don't think a postie would risk his or her job over 2 items of jewellery valued less than £400. This is a issue with GR themselves, I really believe my items have been damaged or mislaid and they don't want to accept liability.

""They also told me a single earring had been found in the envelope, which is rubbish as I sent them a watch and a pendent nothing else.""

I can see the postie removing the 2 items and putting back 1 earring and resealing the envelops.
Good luck with chasing them as they do seem to be the ones at fault.

peter the piper why on earth would a postie risk his job and a record for that? I don't think they would. Many have posted on here about post gold scams.

Sorry you misunderstood me, I was trying to say how unlikely it was that à postie would take two items and replace with an earring so it was certain the companies fault. Hope ive made à better job this time.
