Asona Mines is the biggest Fraudulent gold dealer in Accra Ghana. Do not send them one penny. They have stolen from Russian, Chinese, the Spanish, Turkey, Americans and other Africans as well. They have a mining license, They are registered as a company in Ghana but they have over 90 open complaints with the police. The federal police of Ghana have had numerous complaints but they have yet to apprehend this criminal. We are ashamed of his behavior. The only reason why he is still free is because he pays the police and BNI supervisers heavily. Everytime a person comes from another country to buy gold, they take the money, they only give them a small amount of gold they claim the government will not let them send the rest and then they split the money among them selves and go buy more expensive cars. They promise discounts of 20-30% off of world spot price. They claim that they keep gold off the books and thats why they can't use PMMC (the only way to buy gold in Ghana legitamately). PMMC buys gold at 3% underworld Spot price So why one earth would someone sell gold to you for half of its value?

The way they work: Nana or Gymah will show gold to buyers, but it isn't real gold it is Ionized Copper. It looks and feels like gold until you put Nitric Acid on it. The take 3-10M dollars a month. The have bank accounts all over the world. They are part of a HUGE organization of other gold theives that control Accra. When you look at them they are well dressed, clean shaven, and polite people but don't be suprised when you loose your money. The past government allowed them to steal these huge amount of money and the new government does not seem to care. What do you expect? The man is a millionaire in a country where the average person makes 7, 000.00 American Dollars a year.

Who is part of this shceme? His banker (they use correspondent banks so that the money doesn't go throught the bank of Ghana and is UNACCOUNTED FOR), His lawyer, The head of CID, The head of BNI and countless other police officers that he pays as his hench men to kidnap, hurt or kill anyone that causes problems.

Media: He even runs ads telling people that their is someone impersonating him. hahahahaha He runs full page ads in the news paper that state "he is the victim."

His Ego: Nana Donkur often brags about being untouchable.

Why Isn't He In Jail?: The heads of the BNI have been on his payroll along time. His lawyer pays the judges and their are countless civil cases against him.They give our country a bad name. So please keep your money in your pocket before it goes in his. Everyone in his office is a part of the scam. Most Banks will not even send a SBLC or BG to this country because of this one company's reputation and this one man's greed. He has put an unbearable stain upon reputable gold dealers in our country. If you ever do business with Asona Mining please use PMMC. Send your purchase contract to PMMC, let them monitor the transaction, they will take the money from you and the gold from the seller and they will NOT let your money be stolen. They do not charge taxes on Gold in Ghana. So anyone who tells you this is a liar. They charge 45.00 per kilo to smelt and do the ASSAY. They charge .5% to ship. This is less than 1%.The money isn't released until you have a Airway Bill, Packing list and Commercial Invoice. Any other way is Insanity. You must go to the PMMC OFFICE.Do not let anyone come to you and tell you that they work for PMMC. You must go there. Contact PMMC directly at: DIAMOND HOUSE P.O.BOX M 108 ACCRA, GHANA.

Yes this is all true everyone associated with asona are scamers but it does not stop there. there is no way to by gold below 3% of market prices anywhere in Africa especially Ghana the pmmc will buy all the gold from people in ghana and they pay same day (usually within 30 minutes)

the only way you can get gold at big discounts is to mine it yourself in Ghana and that will take a lot of money time and luck and then you must hope your miners are honest
