Is it legal to just fly in to Ghana and buy kilos of gold?

Question

We are miner’s agent and work directly with Ghana local miners to buy gold from them and
export to clients at a very good discount rate, without any intermediary involved.
We have the capacity to produce and gather 20-50kg of alluvial gold dust/gold bars every
month. We are now looking for only serious direct buyer who can travel to West Africa Ghana
to inspect and test products on FOB trade basis, are you a buyer or do you know any buyers to refer to us?

Answer

Here are some facts:

It takes a monumental effort to by gold where it is found – many hours down bad roads away from Accra.

Most miners sell their gold in either Tarkwa, Kumasi, Bibiani, or somewhere in between because Accra is HOURS away from where the mining occurs.

Even in remote areas there are gold buying offices paying no less than 5% below the world price.

There is no way you are buying gold at a discount big enough to take the time and go through the logistical hoops required to buy gold “in the bush” and then take it all the way to Accra to sell to foreign buyers – because there is simply too much competition and the price is too high for that to be profitable.

The only conclusion is that you are drawing in buyers that don’t understand all of what was just said in order to scam them in some way…

We are in no way “competitors” because we, just like everyone else that really has gold in Ghana, sell it to the closest legal buyer paying top dollar…. AND you failed to mention that it is ILLEGAL for foreigners to just fly in and by gold. You have to be licensed to do so!

See “buyers” with real money that don’t know the rules can come to Ghana and lose their money to scammers like you because you know that it is illegal for them to buy and have the gold on them. It is real easy to take both the gold and the money – all you have to do is pay off a few “professionals” and your scam is complete.
