Beware the fake Umicore gold bars

[mr-dead]

Apparently there are currently a lot of fake Umicore gold bars in circulation in various sizes.

A few people been stung on another forum after having them checked out.

Out of curiosity I had a search on Ebay in the UK and surprise surprise there are suddenly a shed load of them for sale.

Going off the details on the forums at Kitcomm, this one may be suspect. Look for the straight sides on the '0' in the '10' gram stamped. If sides are straight = no good. Seller has 100% feedback though
