Many thanks MIKB. I am quite certain that i need to learn a lot. Glad i came onto this forummikb said:mark_cycling00 said:There are many ways that you can pay to be "featured" in newspapers or on TV so that doesn't add much legitimacy.And context is everything.Example: "Featured on the BBC and Martin Lewis Money Saving Expert!"Looks good, right? Zoom out."Featured on BBC Watchdog, and described as a shameful scam on Martin Lewis ..."Always find the source of any "featured by" claims. They may not exist at all, or may not be a glowing reference after all ...

Hello, to quote another member, I wouldn't touch them with a bargepole. I invested a large sum with The Pure Gold Company and regretted it. The main problem is that their coins are not linked to the live Gold spot price. I decided to liquidate about 25% of my investment, and at that point, huge alarm bells started ringing. Despite Gold being fairly strong at the time, they quoted me a "buy back" that represented a large loss. To summarise, *they* effectively decide on the value of Gold at any given time. I was told that they had a lot of sellers at the time, hence the low buy back price. They are astonishingly opaque about their fees etc. Please check out Google reviews and Trustpilot reviews where I have given a more detailed description of my experience. But I stress, avoid, avoid, avoid!
