🚨 Consumer Warning: Scam Involving American GoldBacks Targeting Seniors 🚨

BEWARE of Individuals Claiming GoldBacks Are Legal Tender in the USA

A fraudulent scheme is targeting seniors and Freedom Fighter groups in our area. A cash-only seller is going door to door and appearing at community meetings, falsely claiming that GoldBacks—a privately-issued, gold-foil currency—are legal tender in the United States.

FACT: GoldBacks are not legal tender. They are not recognized by the U.S. government and cannot be used to pay debts or taxes.

⚠️ What This Seller Is Doing:

  • Claims GoldBacks are “spendable money” in the USA
  • Pressures people to trade cash for GoldBacks at inflated prices
  • Refuses to accept credit cards, checks, or give receipts
  • Offers no way to cash out or recover your money
  • Has no business card, website, or identifiable contact info
  • Exploits trust within patriotic or freedom-minded groups

❌ Why This Is a Scam:

  • You are overpaying for a product that has no guaranteed resale value
  • The seller is committing fraud by misrepresenting the product as legal tender
  • Victims are left with no recourse, no refund, and no way to spend what they were sold
  • Seniors and vulnerable citizens are being specifically targeted

✅ What You Can Do:

  • DO NOT give cash to anyone selling GoldBacks without doing proper research
  • Report suspicious activity to:
    • Your State Attorney General’s Office
    • The Federal Trade Commission at reportfraud.ftc.gov
    • Local law enforcement
  • Warn your friends, family, and neighbors, especially those in senior or church groups
  • Ask questions: If a seller won’t give you a receipt, contact info, or proof of legitimacy, walk away

🛡️ Stay Safe. Stay Informed.

GoldBacks are NOT legal U.S. currency. Don’t be fooled by flashy sales pitches or patriotic messaging—this is a scam.

If you believe you or someone you know may be a victim, contact us or your local authorities immediately. Let’s protect each other from fraud.
