They offer all kind of precious metals from Uganda.

Thanks

It does look like a scam website. While it has been registered for 4 years, it is stealing some of its content from a legitimate mining company website. There are some warnings online about it being a scam. I wouldn't do any business with them.

Please post up any emails you have receive from them along with the full headers. Remove your email address or any other personal info before posting.

I wonder if they are in Uganda, why are their registration details in Libya? Also, why don't they know the name of the person / organization in the registration?? ( Most legitimate businesses use the registration as free advertisement. Typically only people with nefarious intentions hide their details so they can't be found easily).

It smells fishy to me, not quite rotted fish, but no where near fresh, either.

I'd highly recommend you read this article and others like it before doing trading in minerals or gems from Africa.

In fact, if you are not experienced in the business, this is not the place to start your experience. I'd guarantee that much.

Here is another one that uses some of the same content on its webpage. This one also has some telltale signs of a scam. http://www.mobacopmining.com/

They are in "collaboration" with a Tanzanian scam called "Corporate Ventures Ltd" in Dar Es Salaam and they focus on advance fee scams. I am guessing that there is no such company in the DRC and it is all a web scam.

A genuine minerals sales company wouldn't use a free sub-domain website such as a webs.com to represent their company. Any company who can afford to buy in these expensive minerals can surely pay for a properly hosted website and domain.
