    They are also located in Ireland, but shipping only seems to be $3.75 Interesting

    Found some info on another forum. It seems that it's pretty sketchy. They're not listed in any U.K. Business registries. The phone number is a mobile. They seem to be linked to a bootleg movie site & they claim to have started in business two years ago.

    "
    I'm from Ireland, The site looks like a scam to me, domain only registered in Dec. A mobile number on the website, an address of random rented office space in Dublin. No info on company registration. Also there is vat on silver in Ireland, I get my silver from Germany/Belgium, nowhere in Ireland could sell it that cheap. I would not recommend using the site.

    Update
    After looking a bit more I can confidently say this site is 100% a sc

    + if you go to google streets there is a super sketchy looking guy in the doorway of the office space staring at the google car. I can't see his face, but I wouldn't buy silver from that guy. :hilarious:

    Yet it appears that their website is registered through Panama.

    Scam if I've ever seen one. Goes to show you anyone can put those Visa Bitcoin Ect Verified stickers on a website.

    Could be that the "company" is based in Ireland for tax purposes.

    If they took PayPal, I'd test the waters and order one. I lost more than that at Mohegan Sun the other night.
    No way I'm giving them my credit card or debit info, lol.

    This seems like a good application for a "virtual card" -- my card (a Citi MasterCard) lets me generate one-off numbers, optionally with any dollar limit I want. I can create a card number that could only ever be charged $17.79, with just a few clicks, and with all the protections of my main account.

    I still don't want any parts of this, though.

    You guys are ridiculous. They have WHOISGUARD enabled, which means the registrars details are used for the WHOIS information. Namecheap (the registrar) is the company that is registered in Panama.

    Why would the owner of a bullion store want to keep their home address hidden you wonder? Would you want the world to know where you lived if you had control of a stockpile of bullion? That would make you an easy target for criminals I would think.

    Another reason I think the site is legit, this site was made by a professional, and a very good one. The website itself is worth over 100k.

    Well, I for one feel much better now that someone has created a new account to defend the dealer. :rolleyes:

    Interestingly, if you Google "namecheap" and "bullion", one of the first results is a story about how easy it is to set up your own bullion-selling business online. I didn't read enough of the article to see what it says about defending your reputation on social media and forums.

    :shifty: seems legit to me... I think I will go use my retirement funds to purchase as much silver from this outstanding organization.

    Yeah you probably want to send payment by bank wire, seems like the best option right?...

    Some brave soul (read: foolish) on reddit bought one and stated the contact number is in Estonia. I like the way this person has attempted two different takes of the same ploy on different forums. It's very educational.
