Every once in a while, a clever feller comes along who thinks they can dupe a gold buyer. Of all the people to sell fake gold to, don’t you think a gold buyer would be a last resort?
In a recent shenanigan in London, a certain Mr Silentbill attempted to sell a bunch of 1 ounce Krugerrand gold coins, requesting £30,000 for the lot of them. There was just one problem, the coins were in actual fact, chocolate coins in gold foil.
We thought this story was comical and definitely worth sharing. Below is the letter that was sent in response to Mr. Silentbill’s charade.
