===================== NOW TO THE ORIGINAL REPORT THAT WAS FILED



=====================





Goldline International, Inc. Naive New Investor down $1600 New Castle, Pennsylvania

I can not believe how stupid I was. I thought "how could I be mislead by Glenn Beck, Fred Thompson and Marvin Levin?" Unfortunantly I did my homework after the test. If I had done a simple web search, I would have found the stories about this company instead of reading my own in their stories.

I contacted Goldline because of the advertisement by Glenn Beck. I found both Marvin Levin and Fred Thompson as satisfied customers. Why would I doubt the company's reputation if they recommended them? The answer to that question is, I suspect, they have a lot more to invest and probably are treated differently. (Or maybe Goldline's system of paying the selling commission up front works for them.)

Basically, I was pursuaded to buy Swiss Francs ("That had just become available and were such a good deal"). From reading the stories on-line I realize they just get a larger commission on them. I was strongly encouraged to invest between $20,000 and $40,000 by my "investment advisor." Luckily, I only had $5000 currently available. I was warned about the gold confiscation (whatever that was) and told they would be behind me from buying to selling etc. I was horrified to find from one of the other stories that their "buy back" price is low. I can wait till I sell them for that news, I have had enough bad news right now. After my purchase I was sent a thank you with a hand written note saying that my "financial advisor" was impressed with how I handled my investments. I can not believe I was stupid enough to tell them all about all of my finances. But again, how could Glenn Beck mislead me? They must be reputable.

After I made the purchase, I finally did my homework and found that the coins I had purchases for $318 each could be bought for $208 - $218 each on other sites. I spend over $5000 to get coins worth $3520 at most. As others have pointed out over a 30% mark up. I called my "advisor" and got the same story everyone else does - we are saving you money when you sell them because you have already paid the commission up front etc. I ended the conversation saying I needed to do a little homework. That is when I found this site and read my story.

I just called back to find out if I can get a refund - which I can not even though I only received the coins two days ago. Apparently, the money back guarantee is from the date of purchase, not the day of delivery. The only solice I have is that I did not make more purchases and if I wait long enough (how many years I don't know) I might make my money back. In all fairness, they said I should count on holding my coins for 5 - 6 years, so we will see.

Just be aware of the fact that I heard almost all the same lines everyone else did. I had never purchased any gold so I was a sitting duck. I blame myself for my naivity and getting caught up in the moment. Perhaps this plan works for very large investors but for people like myself, it was not a good idea. I will, as one of the others stated, continue to buy gold but I am now a more educated investor. I am not saying they did anything illegal but I would not recommend anyone else deal with them.
