Don't Listen to MC Hammer

Hey,

This may be a little odd, considering the forum, but I think it's useful and timely information, so I'll share it.

Don't send your gold in to Cash4Gold!

They managed, somehow, to nab a super-bowl commercial spot, so they've obviously decided to step up their exposure, but from what I understand about the company, it's essentially a scam. You send your gold to them in a plastic baggie (insured for *up to* 100$) and *then* they'll tell you how much money they'll give you for it. You're allowed to request your gold back, but the rest of their business is dedicated to making that process as awkward as possible without being downright illegal.

I know it's not the usual family news stuff, but I hadn't really thought much about it until I had read a few recent articles, and consider this useful information. Cheers!
