Global Royalties Limited - BEWARE !
In 2005 I was approached by Global Royalties Limited to invest in Gemstones, the Company seemed to check out alright and in September that year I agreed to invest in a pair of Ruby Gemstones at a cost of about CDN$4000.00
A few moth later I was contacted by Global Royalties and was told that my Ruby’s had increased in value and I should move up to an Emerald which would be a stronger position, as I had made a modest profit on the Ruby’s I agreed and invested about CDN$11000.00 in a 1.10 ct. Emerald. I was told to expect to hold it for six to eight month at which time it should fetch about US$13000.00, and sure enough a few month later they called to say that it had gone up indeed and it would be wise to add more cash and invest in a larger stone.
I asked them to sell the Emerald before making this decision and this is when things changed, now the story was that the Emerald could not be sold at this time as there was “no market for stones that size” and “to be patient”. Well, I have been patient for four years, seems their only interest is to keep selling you more expensive gems with the promise of big profits which never materialize.
I have all documentation regarding my transactions and if you would like more details about my experience with Global Royalties feel free to contact me. [protected]@telus.net

It don't surprise me, you will get more calls as our customer list is being circulated and you are an easy target to get scammed a second time. As for paying $ 650.00 to list, most likely you will get nothing in return.
These guys are working together to take more money from you.

To answer the questions about colt ledger accurately. First every compliant you read on the internet starts out with Colt Ledger scammed me P.O Box 39 moss tn. We only give bad guys that mailing address. All of our clients have our physical address and many visit us. Every complaint on the internet was written buy people we are pursing for fraud to stop us. We choose not to remove those post from the internet so investors can see first hand what goes on. The website coltledgergruad.com was started by an oil and gas company we are currently pursing. Colt Ledger is the name of our company. Mr. Hill does not go by Colt Ledger; However Colt Ledger is a registered alias for him. He uses the name for bad guys. I can prove to any investor that we do work with many agencies and we have been successful. We offer a money back guarantee on many things, we carry professional license, we carry insurance, etc. Explain to me how a scam can maintain a professional license, have access to many data bases that could be used in the wrong way, etc for many years without anything being said?

One of my clients that I now represent on global royalties hired us for an oil and gas case a few years ago. One of the agents from the secret service we worked with visited him at his home to discuss the case. When he arrived he was carrying the case Colt Ledger built in his hands. Does that sound like a scam? I ask that before you make comments like that, before you believe what you read on the internet, etc that you at least talk to me and let me send you documents that prove otherwise.

Colt Ledger (not his real name) is a FRAUD!
“Under the Telemarketing Sales Rule, it’s against the law for someone to request or receive payment from you until seven business days after you have the money or other item in hand.”

At the bottom of the FTC webpage, above, you should FILE a REPORT on scams like Colt Ledger.

I've had the same issue as you all with Global. Probably spent about $45k US. David Brook actually had the nerve to call me in May (2016) claiming he had no knowledge of the scam. Lol. I've been dealing with a legal company called Investigation Counsel PC. Hopefully it's eventually gets somewhere. I have received so many calls from other scam companies wanting to "buy" my gemstones. I can't believe I actually fell for this crap.

Not even sure what to say about that. It's disgusting specially when David Brook called me up claiming that Global were the scammers. I think they are still fraudulent by over charging for their gemstones.

I guess David Brooks now has to face the music and can no longer point the finger at others.
As a grand father this is the example you have shown, Shame on you.

Discussion at the thanksgiving dinner must be priceless...

In the end you will get what you deserve. This is the mark that you will leave behind.

I was contacted last two weeks ago by Robert Wilson, Global Gems phone number [protected]. I bought a 1 carat Ruby. Was just contacted by David Brooks today. He had me talked into a big emerald. Then I started googling. Thank you for this page. You saved me!

I have had a similar experience. I bought ruby and later forced me to buy Emerald for 10k. Now I am wondering if this every really worth that much. Do you think I got over sold?
