O’Steen & Harrison, PLC represents former customers in claims alleging that Universal Coin & Bullion, 1st Capital Reserve, 1st American Reserve, 1st National Reserve, and 1st Fidelity Reserve engaged in questionable sales practices and other acts in recommending the purchase of precious metal coins and bullion to customers throughout the United States.
Former Customers File Lawsuits Against Beaumont, Texas Coin Companies
Petitions Allege Fraud, Other Complaints Against Universal Coin & Bullion, 1st American Reserve, 1st Capital Reserve, 1st Fidelity Reserve, 1st National Reserve

In a lawsuit filed in Beaumont, Texas, and subsequently settled out of court, there were allegations that the coin companies improperly promoted, marketed, advertised and sold precious metal coins to customers.

The Petition asserted several complaints and causes of action against the coin companies, including negligence, negligent misrepresentation, fraud, and violation of the Texas Deceptive Trade and Practices Act.

Some former customers of these companies allege in lawsuits that the coin companies made false representations to encourage the customers to purchase high-priced precious metal coins. These customers claim, among other things, that the coin companies improperly assessed the value of coins and made misleading statements concerning the origin and investment value of these coins.

At a court hearing on August 31, 2006, a former top salesperson at Universal Coin & Bullion testified that he and other company salespersons were trained to “pitch heat” (i.e. fabricate stories) to current and potential customers regarding the coins.

Additionally, there has been testimony of credit card abuse and sending coins to customers that they did not purchase.

Correct. In exchange for the good price on ONE piece of bullion, you get a lifetime of spam e-mail, unwanted telemarketing calls, and lots of junk mail.

Wow, I probably should have done some homework before posting something like this!!!

Yes, I bought one of their teaser deals, and they have been calling me ever since. They got my wife on the phone and almost got her to buy something on my behalf. "It's a great deal, RYK would want to buy these, etc." If you do not heed my advice and go through with the purchase, caller ID is a must.

Well, it looks like I'd have to add 8.25% to those prices, which leaves me out even if there wasn't a spamming/telemarketing blitz to follow.

I never understood why more mail-order and online retailers don't locate in states with no sales tax.

Perhaps there are other laws or protections in Texas, for example, that make good business sense for them to be there, even when they do not do much or any business within the state of Texas.

call them from a phone booth and give them only your po box and then accept the great deal on the coins LOL
