Don't be fooled by the couple selling their gold jewelry to buy food for their kids. The Mercedes rings are marked 18 K but it turned my finger green in less then one day. They said they did not have ID to pawn it themselves and needed money now. They have sold several pieces of fake jewelry in the Hybla Valley area this week. If you see them take a picture of them and their tag/car. I want My money back.

Why would anyone buy anything sold from the back of a car? On Route 1...by foreigners, no less!

I know it was a gamble that it could be fake, but for pennies on the dollar it was worth the gamble. They said they needed the money for food for the kids they had in the car with them. I guess the kids are gypsies in training.

So you didn't want to offer them what you (thought you) knew to be
the ring's true value, but to take advantage of them in their desperation.

This is why con games work: GREED.

OP, sorry to hear those dirty grifters scammed you. Since you sound like a good guy, I'll let you in on a secret deal. There are these Italian guys selling great leather jackets for below cost. They also have stereo speakers if you are interested.

The only reason these people keep up their act is because they know that the bottom half of the bell curve, at least intelligence wise, is out there walking around ready and willing to be scammed. It must be tough to be stupid. However, the upside is, as they say, if you give a man twenty dollars and you never see him again, it was probably money well spent.

It is very sad to hear that there are people who are willing to scam to make money. I hope that these Fake Dubai Gold sellers will get what they deserve. I understand that you were scammed under the pretext that they have problems with ID and that they need money now, but there are many scammers and you should always be on the lookout so that there are no such deceptions. In my opinion, it is worth buying and selling jewelry only through reliable sources so that prices are accurate and fair and that precious metals and precious stones are real. For example the gold dealer in Fremont which can be found at https://www.pacificpreciousmetals.com/ provides a very safe and pleasant place to sell or buy jewelry. They do their job professionally and well. It is not scary to buy jewelry through such services, and only such services should be trusted.

I also think that buying precious products is better through a reliable source. Thanks for providing such a source, I think many will find it useful.
