Police Warn Of High-quality Fake Gold Bars Being Shopped Around In Winnipeg

The Canadian Press, 24 Dec, 2016 01:27 PM

Winnipeg police are warning that there are some high-quality counterfeit gold bars being shopped around.

The one-ounce bars have fooled some gold buyers and pawn shops in the city on Nov. 30.

Police say six bars were sold for just under $5,000, but that they are fake.

The bars were bearing either Perth Mint or PAMP (Produits Artistiques Métaux Précieux – Switzerland) stamps.

Police say their counterparts in other cities were investigating similar incidents.

Officers are warning anyone thinking of purchasing a similar gold bar to take extra steps to ensure it is authentic.
