    Just received an unsolicited offer to buy gold direct from the mines - I get one or two of these emails every day, but this one actually included photos of the bars.

    I can hook you up with a guy who has over 25 Million USD of mine if you like - I'll give you a cut if you can collect it for me when you pick up your bars :cool:

    Wonder what the purity of that spray paint is? Man you'd feel ripped of if you found they weren't using .999 pure gold spray paint. Can't be too careful!

    why use 999 gold spray on clearly unrefined bars. GP said they were straight from the mine not straight from the refiners - sheesh

    :D

    Credit where its due... you usually have to string 419 and similar scammers along for a few weeks before you get pictures of anything.

    Clearly, you attract a better class of criminal.
