I don’t watch much broadcast TV, and when I do I skip as many commercials as possible, but even I have seen the incessant televised advertisements for a company called Cash4Gold, and I’m sure most of you have, too (they even had a Super Bowl ad). The company is being heavily promoted online as well.(Business & Finance)irstaxThu, Feb 12th, 20092 Diggs, 0 Comments
I sent my gold to cash 4 gold amonth ago, I have yet to even get a call from them. I have called with a tracking#, they still say they have not got my pkg. The last time I attemped to talk to them, they said an Insurance adjuster will call me. That has not happened. Please be very carefull ,or yau will never see anything. Lesson learned the hard way.
