Your use of "snippets" to create a whole picture is quite amazing. You have taken several different ideas/plans for the future and attempted to roll them into this one site. I have included your comments, each followed by mine in ( ). He wants us to send our MONEY to him but he gives ABSOLUTELY NO representation about how he will deal with our money. There are NO terms and conditions, agreements or any other guarantees or other legal requirements on the site. (The legal requirements are on the site at http://www.osgold.com/services/terms.html) Look at these Classic snippets from the web site: "An OSGold Account is an online monetary system which allows you to convert money to gold, and then retain it online...." hmmmmm... and then... "Store your GOLD in an Offshore Bank, where a transfer is as easy as clicking a button, and you immediately begin to earn a very nice interest on that gold. Your gold is immediately converted to a cash value to protect you from the fluctuation in gold prices. Yet, you can convert back to OSGold at any time FOR FREE...." Ah... so now the gold I am retaining on line is actually CASH to protect against gold price changes... so what is it then, online gold or online cash?! Is there REALLY any gold there at all? The gold is in an offshore Bank?!? You earn "a(sic) very nice INTEREST" on your gold??! This is at least educational :) (You write this as if it is included in the site description, but it is actually in the coming soon category where we discuss the future services which will be available. The gold you put into the OSGold site will remain as gold, and the goldbank is another site alltogether.) "Investigate new opportunities, where your principal is guaranteed, where due diligence has been accomplished...where scams don't exist..." (This, again, is from the coming soon page and there will be legitimate investment opportunities offered through another site as well.) Wow, now we're in heaven! And just as an interesting aside (amidst the thousands of other questions going through my head) the security is done by HEN Inc.??? (Just wondering, what is interesting about this?) It may be going too far to call this a scam, but lets face it, there is no way this set up elicits TRUST! Maybe I am just suspicious? (Too suspicious, no. Jumping to false conclusions based on the improper use of small site snippets, YES.) The site will be fully updated with all necessary contact information this week. One thing that I would ask is this: You are basing a lot of trust issues on the fact that there is no contact information. With e-gold, the information is provided. Yet you may still wait a week or two to receive a reply from them. Actually, you may never receive a reply from them when asking questions about your account. In a little over 24 hours, our support team has answered/resolved over 500 inquiries and questions. We actually GUARANTEE a 24 hour turn around time for response to questions. You mentioned in an earlier post that the site is unprofessional. When, in truth, the site was not designed for the technical mind. The site was designed for users who are fed up with "technically sound" sites and unnecessary clutter. What you call unprofessional, our users are calling a breath of fresh air. Yes, the site still needs work. And yes, there will be full contact information given on the site over the next few days along with the many other updates we have planned. At the same time, our straightforward approach and simple design has attracted the creation of over 2500 new accounts in the 30 hours the site has been open for business. While you may be unfamiliar with One Groupe International, the Internet at large is familiar with us and we have already built a relationship of trust with our current clients. Rome was not built in a day, and neither was E-Gold, Amazon, Yahoo, AOL, or any of the other successful Internet sites.
