Fortress Gold Group

I wanted to invest in gold using most of my IRA savings and was advised by the Fortress agent to purchase "gold proofs". He said he had an extraordinary special and I would increase my investment very soon. The price of gold spot was $1075.00 per oz at the time and these special proofs were only $1740.00. Not knowing gold prices I made the purchase as he assured me they would buy them back at any time only taking a small commission. Gold has since gone up to $1220.00 spot price but when I called to sell some of my purchase they would only give me $1240.00 for the proofs saying they lost their value. I lost $21,500 even when gold went up. Proofs were not worth it and Fortress Gold Group "SCREDED" me with false claims of their worth... Never use this company.

I bought some silver from David ** with Fortress Gold Group in Jan 2016. Silver price at the time was @ $19 per ounce. Fortress Gold sold me proof coins in the $65 range. I called David ** back and balked at the price. David assured me that the proof coins he was shipping me were worth the $65 per ounce as they were collectible proof coins. In fact he said the price had already went up over a $1. Like a fool I accepted his word. I recently had to sell some of these coins to satisfy my IRA RMD and was informed those coins were never worth more than $30 per ounce. Numerous calls to Fortress Gold and David ** over the past 3 months were never answered or returned. Stealing $30,000 from a Senior Citizens IRA should be illegal.

I’ve dealt with Fortress Gold for 3 years. Up until this past December I was satisfied. But in December I needed information so I tried reaching Morgan, my broker. His extension did not work, so pressed 1 to leave a message, no one called me back, tried this over several days, no response, then tried pressing 0 for an operator, left message to call me back. Never happened. Today minutes. I finally gave up. Are they still in business.
