Hi Guys,

I just received this email from TheGoldBullion.co.uk and thought you may want to know:

I was just trying to be helpful.  Feel free to ignore. A quick check of their website being down would show they are having issues.

Same, was surprised as don't remember buying from them. There's a pretty high chance I did at some point, but either way it's pretty concerning.

Also received the same email and a second email explaining how they resolved the issue. I’ve only ever bought two empty coin tubes from them. I removed their details from my bank account. I’ve got numerous reputable bullion dealers who I buy from and won’t be doing any further business with them. I don’t have the time nor patience to deal with online companies whose security has been compromised by hackers. There are much better dealers around.
