Hermes Trade House and Fake Gold Deals

Answer to one of naive gold intermediaries, for fake gold offer from Kenya ⎯ This is one of the answers to wannabe gold intermediaries who think that there is some real offer or thousands of kilograms of gold, and coming from Kenya.

The wannabe gold intermediary did not verify any information of the gold seller, and is thus participating in the organized crime and fraud. When such gold intermediary, even after knowing and getting the notice that gold is fake, continues to disseminate fake gold offers on Internet, than he or she becomes liable for criminal penalties.
