Are these all fake???

[Whatmuff]

I'm in contact with someone now for a coin and bullion collection and they say they have been given it as the family member passed away. However £1200 seems cheap when there appears to be 7 oz or more of gold..... plus several cases of coins. They say they are not sure of what it's all worth but 1200 Is what they're after. Seems to good to be true really. Anyone with any sense and a phone just has to Google gold 1 oz value and hey presto.

Plated 100 mills rubbish.

Worthless!

Thought as much! Live and learn! Many thanks

Where were you offered these out of interest?

"They say they are not sure of what it's all worth but 1200 Is what they're after." That's great line, I'm sure that they performed detailed check, but how to sell turd - say "not sure" and you're covered.

Found them on gumtree but then found another advert the same so I think one of them may have been a copy/scam. It's now deleted.

The Gold plated bars and coins can easily be bought from china trade websites for about £1 each. So pretty much no value at all.

There is a swastika somewhere (second piccie)... Nazi gold, surely coming from a secret base in the Artic. What can be more genuine?

Gumtree is pretty bad for scammers 

Lots of people with a "passed away" family member offering coins for way below their value, trying to get you to focus on what you're saving rather than what you're spending

Mainly targeting those on 'Benefit Street'

I had a bad experience on Gumtree last year. You were wise to steer clear. There is some proper dodgy stuff out there. My advice would to report any suspect gear to the police "Action Fraud" Dept. If they don't mug you off, there is always the next person..!!

They took 2 years to get back to me to give a statement on something I reported
