Gold Traders UK, based in Royal Wootton Bassett, released ‘Cats4Gold’, which looks to trade gold for feline friends.
As part of April Fools on 1st April, Gold Traders UK set up ‘Cats4Gold’, a website which appears to sell clients gold in exchange for cats. The joke is intended to bring attention to the darker side of cash for gold companies throughout the UK, who look to exploit people and give customers less than their gold is worth.
Jon White of Gold Traders UK said, “Cats4Gold was created to shine a light on these shady tactics – with humour, puns, and just the right amount of paw-sibility. If we can make people laugh and think twice before mailing off their precious gold to mystery-box companies, then that’s a win for us – and their wallets. Plus, who wouldn’t rather swap their tat for a cat?”
Gold Traders UK are poking fun at the cash for gold companies who offer empty promises of ‘guaranteed best rates’, don’t publish their rates, and pay customers below what their gold is actually worth.
“The ‘cash for gold’ world is overflowing with glitzy promises and not-so-shiny realities. With so many freepost gold services dodging the simple question – ‘What do you actually pay per gram?’,” said Jon. “it’s no wonder customers are getting clawed. Some of the biggest advertisers in this space are offering little more than half what we pay at Gold-Traders. That’s not a fair deal, it’s a cat-astrophe.”
Their parody of these freepost cash for gold services is to educate in a funny way and empower people with knowing about getting fair prices for their gold assets.
“Our advice is, if you are interested in selling your gold and are looking at one of these companies, phone them up and ask what they pay per gram for gold,” continued Jon. “Typically, a free post service will not tell you what their rates are because they will pay you 40-60% of what your gold is worth to better their margins.”
