I hate to say this -- but who didnt know this was a scam? This is like many late night tv infomercials on a variety of topics. Clearly, the issue is that you GIVE them your stuff before they tell you the value. Its part of their system, but its also the key part in the scam.

F- To Cash4Gold, but its no worse than all the other scam companies out there. If it sounds too good to be true, it is.

"I guess this guy has posted this a few other places around the internet but I thought it was pretty good info that should be passed on."

Really? Why not just link to one of the many exact duplicates of what you posted, then? Trying to get some Google love? I'm tempted to flag this except that some Hackers may be interested in the story itself.

I'm so glad that $40 million went into this company essentially the second before the backlash hit a fever pitch. Problem is that the local news stations that would ordinarily have a field day with this story aren't going to report it because the C4G ads are highly lucrative in this economy.

It's a lot harder to believe that a company with a Superbowl ad is an out-and -out scam. At least in my mind, I tend to assume that if they make it to that level, they're legit.

Probably the people who watched the superbowl commercial?

The superbowl advertising sales department should probably be fired.
