Total money lost $725
Type of a scam Counterfeit Product
A total and complete scam. I was sold a "Pink Cushion Brilliant Diamond" chip for which the value was supposed to increase quickly based on worldwide limited availability of this type of diamond. Luckily my total investment was only $725. I did receive an invoice and a certificate number for my purchase. I was told I could cash in my diamond at any time. Many months later I was contacted again to invest $50,000 because the value was skyrocketing. The claim was that my $725 investment was worth over $900. I refused the offer to invest more and asked – as promised – to cash out. The senior sales person then somewhat rudely announced that they would have to sell my diamond first and that would take time. When asked how much time, the response was "As long as it takes!".
