8888111718

The bad stuff about this CO. is being delited by this website

I can't find any real info on this outfit, although i have been high pressured by them. also, the salesman, Moffa, was rude to me, acted as if I'm as gullible as a relative who is also pressuring me to invest in this plan, whereby they supposedly only charge a one time commission, then do trading for you for the next 5 years. It doesn't pass the smell test with me. They have only been around for a couple years. F rating BBB, I need backup to fend this relative off, who has been convinced by this guy that they are the end all of silver investing. Also, the guy insists that I buy 1000 oz, no less. I can't believe that this company won't deal with a lesser amount. Sounds like a Bernie M to me. Any specifics, like who owns the company, what these people's history is, etc.?

I received the same call and listened to what they had to say about big money in investing with them in silver.
All Mendoza gave me phone # 1-888-811-1718 and his licence with IMM.

Been dealing with "Vic Fishman" for a little while now. He calls constantly (once a day anyway). He's definitely knowledgeable about his company. Says they run each prospective account through their "compliance dept." to make sure nobody is risking any retirement accounts etc., sounded real compassionate. Told me he's a marine vet after I mentioned I'm a vet. Said each account is insured with Lloyd's of London for however much principal is in the account, clients can "never lose money." I am so glad I found this blog about IMM, I will definitely tell him we're not interested anymore. Another week he might have had me convinced with his bull but I figured I'd some investigating first and found you guys instead! Bunches of thanks, saved us a bundle!

Forgot to mention in my last post; Vic Fishman wants me to call him at 888-811-1718 x211 but he calls me from 954-241-8930

I can't believe that I came across this page. I have been getting calls from the 714 number and today someone finally left a message to call the 888 number that everyone here seems to reference. It's amazing what lengths people will go to in order to make a buck. Thanks for the info

I received a call from someone that called himself Joe Zamora from 888-811-1718 ext 205.  He claimed I had a package returned because of a address problem.  I figured it was a debt collector or scammer.  I googled the number and found that number being complained about by a bunch of people.  I never answer 800 numbers anyway.  Go to hell whoever you are.

After reading all of the comments, I made the connection to Motley Fool.  That's how they got my number.  As the old saying goes, "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.".  Thanks Motley Fools and associates you greedy [***].

Let me add my name to the list of people who incorrectly filled out a form I don't remember filling out in the first place. I happen to believe silver will be an excellent investment for the foreseeable future, so Frank and I had a very pleasant conversation--at least until he discovered I wasn't interested in committing to 1000 oz of silver to a guy I just "met" on the phone under questionable circumstances. I suppose it is POSSIBLE this is legit, but they should come up with a better introduction if they are. Also, the Florida Division of Consumer Affairs list "International Monetary Metals", busines license number TC3844 as a "Commercial Telephone Seller" i.e. telemarketer, not an investment firm of any kind.

Boy, you guys are scaring me!!  I have invested 30,000.00, and in almost two months I have paid for the 18% fees, and I am ahead by 5,000.00.  I have leveraged that, and have put 10,000.00 more, and leveraged that, and I am making some pretty cool bucks quick!!  Their fee's are steep, but I like the leverage, and because of the market, and the American dollar being debase, these people are really making me some money!!   I will proceed with caution, thanks to all your heads up notes.  If I get screwed you will be the first to know, but if I make some good bucks, I will let you know as well!!  You know the old saying, you have to spend money to make money!!  Thanks Jack, you are the guy that replied to Newton!  I appreciate your positive outlook on IMM, we are in the minority.........Wally  P.S  I am not a sucker!!

Any company with little history should be a huge red flag. Likely not legit. Also they should be registered with the CFTC if they offer "leverage". Truth be told, federal agencies give us a very false sense of security. In most cases they do nothing. Picture a sloth in charge of eliminating cockaroaches. It's a joke.

That is why the Precious Metals industry, along with every other US investment sector, including and especially "legitimate" banks and securities sectors, have become unreliable. Because they can.

Seeing how Soros bought the White House, and my problematic metals investment, at this point I am reluctant to invest anywhere, but especially not over the phone!!!!!!

Wally,

You may think you are ahead and that is the scam. When you take your money out you WILL, without any doubt, lose money. They will charge you phoney fees, storage, interest or whatever and there is really nothing you can do about it, unless you are willing to throw good money after bad money.

I hired an attorney and still lost thousands. The FBI said I was lucky to get anything back.

Try asking for the money they will claim you arent at your "break even", and therefore at a loss. This will be the response any time you want your money, no matter how much the price of metal has gone up.

Wait till you try to get your money out.

I finally had Nathaniel answer my call two weeks ago - he hasn't answered any of the voicemails I've left since selling my silver - and he said he'd send me the money, no problem.

Last Thursday I got through to him again.  He said I needed to send him a copy of my ID.   I did that the same day, and verified my bank account info so he could wire me the money.

This Tuesday still no money, and when I finally get through to him again he says he was going to mail a check to me but now he'll wire the money to my bank.  OK.

Only it still hasn't arrived, and he hasn't answered my calls and emails.   I guess it's the CFTC next.

Stay tuned for further developements.  I'll let you know if I get my money.

I was just looking up the Florida Division of Consumer Affairs when I got a call from Nathaniel at IMM - the first time he's answered one of my voicemails.  He says everything's been processed with the clearing company and the money should be going out today.

I can't see any Good reason why I didn't get that call last Friday AM, a full week ago, but if it comes through as promised they're not so bad.  There weren't any extra charges above the interest on the leveraged portion of my silver account, although the "one time only" 15% commission to set up the account is only good for a limited time to reinvest after clearing it out.

If you don't mind waiting for your money until they feel like sending it, I'd still recommend keeping a few thousand dollars worth of beatup old US "junk silver" coins (90% silver, 715 oz per $1000 face value) where you can get it quickly in case of some local or national disaster (such as in Japan).

I'll send the happy news when my bank gets my funds!

as an employee I can assure you our illustreous leader spend 1-1/12 hrs each morning pontificating about how rich he is and what a great "Closer" he has trained himself to be. aside from telling us practically every morning that he owns a Bently and lives in a mansion. He also tells all us lowly telemarketers that if we want to make money we have to present ourselves as "precious metals experts" who have a big office( as opposed to the cubicle we actually have) pretend to the client that we have "assistants or secretaries" and that we have a " globalresearch and trading dept"( which btw ammounts to Mr Manutius recieving newsleters)

Im just here killing time until my settlement money comes through.

For those of you stupid enough to send in money all I can say is ..youve been warned.

this is the guy your dealing with John Manutius{spelling may be off but thats only because i dont care enough to spell it right:

TIP OF THE DAY: if you want to make money with precious metals, BUY PRECIOUS METALS (as opposed to wiring or overnighting your check to this clown)

my fellow employees are just average joes trying to make a living and do as they are told (myself included) in order to get a check every week.

The leader of this band however belongs in a ditch, however thanks to morons who keep sending  this scumbag their hard earned money to some guy who called them up and  tells them everything they want to hear hes living in a giant ranch house paid for by people with more money then brains.

I had to laugh when I read the comment about how the owner/sales manager - John Menoutis- of International Monetary Metals tells his brokers about how "rich" he is every morning.

A few years back a handful of his brokers (myself included) had to listen daily about him ranting and raving in another of his businesses. Now closed down by the NFA. He is an uneducated Greek poseur, ex-hair dresser from New Jersey. The brain behind his operation is his wife. He can't even spell.

He not only screws his clients but his brokers also. A nasty and slimy piece of work.
Ask them to prove where the metal is stored. They can't. It isn't. This is a Ponzi scheme. That's all.
Watch this firm crash and burn like Menoutis's other businesses. You have been warned!

Don't send money. Contact the NFA, CFTC, FBI and Attorney General to expose them instead.

My bank posted receipt of the funds from my International Monetary Metals account late Friday.  
So I'm satisfied.

I've been a bit concerned because I seemed to be getting the runaround, although I'd received a couple statements showing the money was in a Worth Bullion Group account.  

I kept thinking of Global Bullion Exchange and all that silver supposedly stolen overnight from a parked moving van - I really didn't care for my voicemails going unanswered and not being updated on how soon I'd be getting my money!

But that's all behind now, Nathaniel called to make sure I'd gotten my money and explained last week's delay was due to the Federal Money laundering paperwork, and now I can settle my Taxes!    8:)

So I'm finally satisfied, two weeks after my first request for my money.

mr honest frank, do you even know how a pyramid scheme works?

older clients do get paid.....when new clients pony-up  fresh doe.

eventually however, the house of cards comes tumbling down.

Federal Money Laundering paperwork? Thats priceless. Yeah, him having to fax a copy of your drivers licence and account opening doc's to the feds is what held up your money getting wired into your account? yeah, thats the ticket, that what happened. Now you can feel secure. Heres a good idea: Now that you know  the deal, send in some more money, hell, why not just invest your life savings?

Hers an interesting, recent, article in our local paper..
