Buying scrap gold online

I found the seller on one of the most popular auction websites. He offered small bullion bars and scrap gold. I decided to buy some scrap gold and sell it as soon as prices of gold go up a bit. But I should have bought the gold from a more reliable source, today I am sure of that. Well, I ordered some jewellery from the guy: a couple of broken necklaces, rings, earrings and some old watches. It all cost me one third of my salary, so it was not at all a small amount of money. I paid for my gold through the website, insured the parcel, and waited for the jewellery to arrive. The man sent me an email two days later. He just informed me that he had just posted the parcel and he gave me the exact number of the parcel so that I could check the progress on a special website. I was very impatient to get my scrap gold so I copied the number and pasted it into the parcel tracking website. But unfortunately, no parcels with such number could be found. I was getting a bit suspicious so I phoned the guy. He didn"t answer the phone so I emailed him, and he didn"t answer my emails either! I looked at his profile and regretted that I had not checked that out earlier on! Lots of previous customers had left negative comments. Well, I was already sure that I would never get my scrap gold. Well, if you are going to buy some gold, too, you had better look for a trusted company that specialises in buying and selling gold!
