Fake gold bars
Collectpure is just one of online platforms founded by two individuals who wanted to become successful without working hard. The two founders have found a way to be rich by doing shortcuts. What a brilliant idea let’s sell other people’s stuff. The problem is, they’re dealing with third-party precious metals, specifically gold and silver bullion. Just like Amazon and eBay, this site has shit load of fakes. There is one gold bar minted by PAMP Suisse, called Lady Fortuna. The newer version has a proprietary anti-counterfeit technology called VERISCAN. Each gold bar has microscopic details that can only be scanned using an app. So this type of gold bar is impossible to counterfeit. But there is also an option to manually enter the certificate number on the app to see if a certain gold bar of the same type is genuine or fake. If it’s fake after the certificate number is entered you hit next, it will read “not a VERISCAN product.” If the certificate number exists, then the next test will be the scanning phase. On the Pure app, I saw two PAMP Suisse Lady Fortunas that are fake, and one of them is a 50 g bar. The founders are full of crap when they say that the products are tested and fully verified. Obviously, the two that I found where I inputted the certificate numbers were not tested. For This particular type of gold bar, you don’t need an RF scanner or a Sigma as all you need is the app to scan the surface of the bar. Nonetheless, if you don’t have the bar in front of you, you can manually enter the certificate number. Obviously, the founders, and the people who work at Pure are not aware of this anti-counterfeit technology. And the two sellers who owned those two bars are stupid too, as they are not aware that people can manually enter the certificate number to find out whether or not it is real. I would stay away from this platform. Buyer beware!!!

Thank you for taking the time to write this. We'd like to explain, because we think the confusion is understandable once you see how Pure works, and a review calling items fake when they aren't does real harm to the sellers who listed them, who are regular people selling their own metal. The certificate numbers you entered came from photos on our product pages. Those are stock photos of the product type, the same way a catalog shows one picture for every bar of that kind. They are not the specific bar a seller is shipping, so a number read off a product photo doesn't tell you anything about the bar a buyer would actually receive. Every item that trades on Pure comes to us before it goes to the buyer. We test the metal's exact composition ourselves and check each item in house before it ships. We do this for every item, every time. It is the entire reason the marketplace exists. We also couldn't find an order under your name. If you do buy on Pure and have any question about the item you receive, we're happy to answer at [email protected]. The Pure team
