My desperate mom and cash 4 gold

Posted on Sunday, October 11th, 2009 at 10:39 pm

Recently,  I went over to a friends house for pizza and a movie. While I was at her house a ”Cash 4 Gold” advertisement came on. The first thing my friend said was ”This has to be a scam. Why would anyone send their stuff in the mail? They’re probably going to lie about what it’s worth and rip you off.” Now… I knew she was being rhetorical but as usual I couldn’t keep my mouth shut.

  I said to her, “More than likely the people who fall for this are desperate for money!” We joked and agreed that what was more rediculous was how the advertisement was on around midnight when you know infomercials get scummy. The very next day my mom called me to asked if I knew anything about the people on TV who bought gold because she seen a commercial the night before and wanted to sell some of her old jewelry. Wow.. did I felt like a total jerk! I couldn’t believe I had called my own mom desperate for money the night before. I felt so bad I went ahead and told her I’d check it out and get back to her.

That same day I spend quite some time research online for junk gold buyers. I was VERY surprised because I found over 400+ cash for gold sites online!  Now, you have to realize that I didn’t want my mom getting ripped off so I decided to google the keywords ”Cash 4 Gold Scam” and “Cash for Gold Scams”.

Man were there some teed off people! Some of the results I found were lengthy, anger filled blogs venting about how they got jipped and others were links to BBB complaints. I was cetain that something fishing was going on.  I had to find a buyer for my mom because if I didn’t I was sure my mom would go to some strange pawn shop in a bad neighborhood. I kept searching until I finally narrowed it down to three sites. These are the buyers that I gave to my mom. They had the  fewest (if any) complaints and seemed to be honest. 

  1. Empire Gold Buyers
  2. CashforGoldUSA
  3. MyGoldMailer

 I really didn’t realize how many complaints where scattered online. It really bothered me to read what “some” companies had done to people in need of extra cash. I found stories that were pretty emotional and it made me rethink what I said about “people being desperate for money”. From that moment I was inspired and created GoldVox.com to help people find honest buyers and prevent someone like my mom, from being tricked at 12am during  The Golden Girls.
