Dear Friends, Several recent messages on the subject of scammers and fraud sites have been posted. Of course, there is an outfit being organized to address these problems, and others, in our industry. That group is the Global Digital Currencies Association, GDCA. Of course, it does take time to get things organized, and those of us in the group have our own businesses to run, etc.
I seem to recall having made some exchanges with the Bishops of Bishops Gold and with GoldNow with good results. I've also dealt with Patrick of AnyGoldNow with excellent results. And, I've met Patrick who flew to Houston to discuss our mutual business opportunities some weeks back. I think it is very wrong to impugn guys like Patrick, Graham, or the Bishops merely on the basis that some jerks use their business names on scam web sites. It is wrong because what appears on other web sites is out of the control of those being impugned. People are responsible for what they do and say, and not for what someone else does or says. Though, I'm sure that there is some interest in suing the scammers for infringing on the use of these trade names. I don't think Incremental Gold is one I've dealt with myself, and there are a number of much more specific accusations against them which bear further review. Michael Moore writes:
That is just A=A=A thinking. i.e. anything equals anything.
Well, that isn't proper symbolic logic at all. The equation "a is a" or A=A is actually a very valid statement, and vitally important in logic. It is also one which Ayn Rand uses to good effect in her novel _Atlas Shrugged_. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0451191145/inspacetoday A more appropriate way to write anything equals anything would be * = * where the asterisk is the wildcard character for anything. The notion that reporting some scam sites to this list is the way to move forward quickly is a bit silly. A discussion list is for discussion, it is not for action. Actions are taken by outfits like the Due Diligence Unit at e-gold. I think their address is [EMAIL PROTECTED] So, if you haven't e-mailed them with your concerns, you should. They are the proper recipients of messages about scams involving e-gold. Similarly, contact GoldMoney.com and e-Bullion.com. Both have low tolerance for fraud and scam operations, and both take actions as appropriate.
See next days, all these alive and scamming websites will still be up, with the help of Ragnar's not caring, and GoldNow, BishopsGold and Incremental Gold's support.
I see that you are specifically impugning Ragnar of GoldAge. I'm confused why you would want to do that. Ragnar is one of the good guys.
