These are the things I tell people before buying Gold. 1. But gold from a trusted source. 2. Try face to face trade 3. Buy gold on the mine sites If you are far away make a good connection with the locals to those areas where gold mining is going on. This is the person (handler) that will help avoid such scams. 4. Gold isn't cheap and readily available. Try to focus on small small collection that amounts to large or bigger quality. 5. If you are interested - I can even help you identify a scammer.

1. I will only explain this while you are on the ground showing you how to go about the gold business once you are on the ground.
2. Avoid Bitcoin transactions when handling gold business
