A silver horror story - but with a happy ending

roadrunner

One cancer stricken woman's ordeal to reclaim her allocated silver from Scotiabank. I'm taking a leap of faith and hoping this is not a made-for-internet story.

Getting your silver

Brian, that was painful.......regardless, thank you for sharing.

<Ms. McBride asked a number of questions, in my presence. Among them, “Do you understand what this transaction is that is taking place? We’re taking your certificates and giving you the actual bullion? Why would you want to do that? It’s more difficult for you to cart around.”

At this point, Aman’s seemingly endless store of patience was exhausted and he said, mildly I thought in the circumstances, “That’s none of your business.”

Ms. McBride said that it was, that “simply putting a POA in place doesn’t give carte blanche,” that the bank had a responsibility too, and asked Mrs. Patel, “Why would you need the physical metal?”>

Clueless.This is exactly why you want to always take physical possession from day 1. MJ

Time to sue the scumbugs.. always take possession of the metal.

I don't know that a suit would be fruitful, Canadian tort laws are not as liberal as in the US, but I agree about taking possession.

Maybe, but the bad publicity that it would generate, would be punishment enough.

Scotiabank. Remember Scotiabank. Remember Scotiabank scumbags force cancer-ridden woman through unnecessary hell. Remember Scotiabank.

When the other party has the goods and all you have is a piece of paper,

the chance of being stiffed is very, very good.

And to think that >99.9% of all stock market holdings are mere bytes on some computer held by your broker and Cede and Co. What if those bytes should ever get "lost?"

What a heart-wrenching story. Get your Silver out of the banks because they cannot be trusted.

We've been nudged towards this new paradigm for years now. The cashless society can be controlled by electronic keystrokes.

Keystrokes create "money", launch missiles and direct drone aircraft. Keystrokes and cameras can monitor roads, entrances to buildings and town squares. Almost every human activity can be monitored remotely and data-mined for information - from medical procedures and medical records to electronic access to buildings, to ballgame tickets and I-Pass on Interstate Highways. It has truly reached sci-fi comic book proportions.

And somehow, in the midst of all this - the private banking consortium known as the Fed doesn't have to release the names of the entities to whom our bailout money was given because the people can't be trusted to interpret the truth "correctly".

Interesting.............
