“I drove over an hour to the meeting place, and I set the bar of gold on the table while we talked. I felt a weird energy right away. There were three men. They were Italian. One of them was constantly puffing on one of those e-cigarettes, and could not stop pacing around the room. Another guy was doing all the talking. He was very animated, and talked with his hands, and had a ponytail. He kept telling jokes. He wrote us a check for $265,000, but he told us not to cash it, because in 24 hours he was going to bring the full amount in cash. But the next day he never called. My father started sweating and turned pale. He kept calling the man’s phone, but he never answered. Finally my father called the police to file a report. The police said: ‘Yesterday this man filed a complaint against you for selling him fake gold.’” (2/3)
