What's Wrong?
The grandly titled Precious Metals Investment Group chooses to hide its identity and ownership behind the skirts of Domains by Proxy, Inc. We would deeply distrust any website which for whatever reason chooses to remain anonymous. One selling precious metal investments should want to display its transparency, and to give its potential customers every reason to trust it, instead it gives any intelligent, thinking potential customer reasons to distrust it intensely, and to run a proverbial mile, by failing to show its identity.
It claims, on its so called "About Us" page to be "a trusted Advisor (sic) to 10,000 plus customers worldwide". We very much doubt it! They ask you to "grant our company one percent of your confidence". Even 1% would be too big an ask. In any case, which company?
Precious Metals Investment Group has stolen (used without our consent) at least two of our high quality copyright gold bar photographs, yet at the bottom of every page they state "© 2009 Precious Metals Investment Group, Inc. All Rights Reserved.".
Copyright infringement is dishonest. We believe Precious Metals Investment Group is dishonest, probably fraudulent.
AVoid it like the plague!
The fact that the author of their gold bars page mis-spelled Krugerrands as Kruggerands probably demonstrates semi-literacy, possibly somebody with little specialist knowledge trying to masquerade as an expert.
One of their four flash animation images is of the Capitol Building, with a tenth ounce American gold eagle coin, and a caption "Official Government Coins". This reminds us of another dodgy outfit who also nicks our pictures.
In the gold bar flash picture, George Washington in seen crying. He may well do so at the thought of his image being used by this dodgy firm to con innocent investors out of their money.

Domains by Proxy, Inc
Domains by Proxy, Inc claims to exist to help individuals from having their names and addresses made public, which we believe is probably fair. Nominet in the UK allow private non-trading individuals to withhold their address details. However, it is obvious that there must be many individuals who wish to avoid publication of their details for other reasons.There are many reasons we could imagine which would make it desirable for individuals to conceal their identity and whereabouts, including being criminals, terrorists, copyright abusers, child pornographers.
Domains by Proxy appear to be equally happy to protect these undesirable elements of our society. They do publish a "Subpoena Policies" page on their website, which states that they charge the enquirer or complainant for "compliance costs", which we believe could be an attempt to obstruct anybody with legal reasons for wishing to know the identity of domain registrants.
