About this scam

Goldline International was a precious metals dealer that came under federal investigation for deceptive sales practices. The company, which had celebrity spokespersons including Glenn Beck and Mike Huckabee, was accused of overcharging customers by 100-300% above market value for gold and silver coins. The company settled with the FTC in 2018, agreeing to pay $4.5 million in consumer refunds and change its sales practices. Thousands of elderly investors were targeted through fear-based marketing about economic collapse.
