Over the past year or so, I have bought a few pieces of silver to set on my desk and feel cool. Most of my friends buy their metals at physical stores but being a computer guy…I wanted to buy from a website. Unfortunatly, I bought from NWTM (Northwest Territorial Mint) and like many other people, got scammed by them. You can read more about my experience HERE .
Instead of fixing their issues and policies, NWTM focuses it’s efforts into propaganda and (cant think of the right word) fake comments by employees of the company. I have heard many people say this and seen some of the fake YouTube videos that NWTM created but they just deemed my blog as a place to attempt this propaganda.
Rod Argentum just commented on my NWTM Scam post stating how much he likes NorthWest Territorial Mint. His email address (mfspamaccount@yahoo.com) was used to send this email. Unfortunately, the IT department (if they have one) neglected to tell “Rod” about the concept of mailservers and how they can show where you are.
If I “tracert” his IP (70.103.50.33) it shows that his email comes mailserver.nwtmint.com.
Below is a screen shot of the IP and final stop.
Shame on you NWTM.
Your policy of combating truth with lies is weak and leaves a stain. At some point, you will no doubt change your name or move states but lies have a way to following those that live by them. Maybe listen to your former clients and look internally instead of producing fake videos, comments and blog posts.
I fully realize that I am was a small time client but you could have fixed the issue with an apology and truth.
Contact me if you would like to train your staff on TOR, VPN or SMTPs. (Cash up front please)

Oh, what a wicked web they weave. SWEET! i love the sleuth! Good Job! laugh out loud, egg on face.
Wanna know how I found you? I sent some info to my 20 yr old son about putting some of his money in precious metals. I had gotten an email about setting up your own special retirement fund through a co-op company that would store? the gold for you, or maybe Northwest stores the gold, who remembers now.
Smart young lad does his research and sends the links about the lawsuit. I guess those college classes on philosophy are paying off. Good for him! So proud of him.
I have heard about places selling metals and “storing” them for you, and then rumors about them selling the same metal over and over.
With so much money to be made the honest way, one wonders why they take so much effort to mess-up their business.
So now they lost two more customers. Way to go!
Greedy idiots!
