NOW TO THE ORIGINAL REPORT THAT WAS FILED
=====================

Goldline International, Inc. Similar to a stock advisor? Give me a break! Santa Monica California

Several years ago, I filled out an online form of Goldline Interntional's to receive some literature about investing in precious metals. Soon after I was contacted by John Arnette, a salesperson with Goldline. John was pleasant and convincing. He informed me that I should view him as an "adviser" similar to my stock broker. I was interested in buying gold but was not yet ready. When the time was "right", I called John back with the intention of purchasing a large amount of Bullion gold. The price of gold at the time was $420/ oz. and the price of silver was less than $7 per oz. In my opinion that was pretty good timing. John "advised" me to talk further with one of Goldline's Numismatists. I was young as a precious metals investor and was looking forward to the education and "advice". The Numismatist sounded very educated and convinced me to invest half of my money in Silver PCGS MS64 Peace Dollars. I agreed, as he told me that these had sold for as high as $250 each in the 1980's. I purchased 1000 of them at a price of $52 each ($52,000 in Peace Dollars).

I recently called them back to re-sell my Peace Dollars. They told me that they would pay $47 each. At this time, the price of silver had doubled from the price it was when I first bought from Goldline. I asked the representative, "What would the price of silver have to be for me to get my money back?" The buyer from Goldline informed me that it would likely have to hit $20 per oz. before I could get $52 a piece for them. When my stock broker "advises" me on an investment, he certainly does not trick me into buying something that would have to more than triple before I can break even. It was this phrase from John and I quote - "We are telling our customers that they should view us as someone similar to a stock broker" that hooked me. What a bunch of liars and deceivers these scam artists are at Goldline. Beware friends. If there is a class action suit against this company, I want in.

Goldline International Dedicated to Customer Service.

AUTHOR: William - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Friday, May 01, 2009

Update: Happily, I recently contacted Goldline's Business Affairs Department. I regret my decision to post on ripoffreport after discussing my concerns with her. She was extremely responsive and addressed all of my issues. In the end, I was satisfied with my transactions which provided me with a significant profit (a fact that I should have noted in my original post). Goldline is a reputable company and I'm sorry that I posted my complaint on this website. My advice to anyone who has any questions about Goldline is to call them directly. You'll see they are committed to customer service. I wish I could delete my post but ripoffreport won't let me do so.
