A Treasure Chest of Gold & Silver or Rusty Scrap - Precious Metal Scams on the Rise

Recently there has been a glut of advertisements promoting investment in precious metals. Internet websites, infomercials, radio ads, cold calls and TV ads - many promise quick riches through the investment of gold, silver and platinum. It's no wonder that with gold and silver at record prices, fraudsters would be quick to try and capitalize on innocent investors hoping to cash in on the hot metals market.

Last week I saw one ad that promised 300% returns in just 30 days and with "virtually no risk"! Is that possible? Theoretically yes, but not likely and with some of the fees charged by these scams, it truly is impossible.

Many of these frauds promise to arrange financing for the client's purchase. They suggest that a client can purchase much more metal by utilizing the finance option and leveraging their investment. It sounds great until you read the fine print (assuming the fees are even disclosed anywhere in writing). Commissions, loan origination fees, interest , security and storage fees.

Storage fees? Yes. Typically these companies charge high fees to safeguard and insure your purchase in their vault. Unfortunately, in many cases these promoters never even take physical delivery of the gold.

Want to have your investment shipped to you so that you can safekeep it? That's impossible, at least that is what these same promoters will tell you. Frequently they claim that government regulations prohibit shipping or that shipping is cost prohibitive because of the security measures needed. That is just plain nonsense. Jewelers, gold buyers and coin dealers ship precious metals every day.

In most of these scams, the promoter promises high profits. Legally, commodities brokers should not make such guarantees. How can they? No one knows whether the market for metals will go up or down and by how much. If you are leveraged and the price goes down, you could easily lose everything. Some promoters rely on that to make more profits.

These same companies typically also minimize the risk involved in these transactions. If it is disclosed, it is often found in the tiny print.

If this isn't bad enough, many of these companies never even take possession of the metal. The investor thinks there are gold bars sitting in a vault, a vault he is paying for. In reality, there is no gold in anyone's vault.

While some of these companies are located in the US and subject to US laws, many are offshore operators that utilize a local US phone number and a website. Government regulators have little change of helping you recover your investment in such cases.

As with any investment, the cardinal rule applies - if it sounds too good to be true it probably is.

Who is the woman on the November 2009 Runner's World magazine?

Some people have said Grete Waitz is on the cover of the December edition. I will give as much information as I can about the edition I have. It may be the November 2009 edition (that's what's in small print). The edition I have has interviews with Governor Sarah Palin and Constantina Dita who won the women's marathon in Beijing. The cover has in gold "9 Success Secrets of Unbeatable Runners" and in red it says "Good Fats Guide". Now, can someone tell me who the woman is who graces the cover of this edition, which may be Nov. 2009 (not sure)? She's hot!

You may have the UK version of Runner's World (linked to runnersworld.co.uk), rather than the "normal" U.S. version (linked to runnersworld.com).

In the U.S., Sarah Palin was in the August 2009 issue. Ryan Hall is on the cover of the November issue.

The November 2009 UK edition apparently has this cover, which includes the "9 Success Secrets" -- stuff like that isn't on the cover of the U.S. version:

Somewhere within the first few pages (on or near the table of contents), there should normally be a mini copy of the cover near the base of a page, and it should provide info on who is photographed and where. That would be the easiest way to discover who it is.

Edit: It looks like that issue is comparable to the October 2009 U.S. edition:

If that's correct, the cover info is:

"Despite race-day nerves, Jenny Fletcher, 33, has placed well in the open division of triathlons; even winning a race in June. As she looks to turn pro, she's aiming to hone her mental strength. 'When I do track workouts, I have anxiety the whole day. For me, it's so much more mind than body,' says the Topanga, California, resident. 'I'm learning to stay focused while pushing myself.'

[And for future reference, you'd probably get faster answers to stuff like that asking on the forums at runnersworld.com and/or runnersworld.co.uk.]
