Default Coloured Diamonds, good investment ?

Of course not, no investment where an Indian sounding guy rings you up unsolicited about buying a specialised thing like a diamond is going to be any good, anyone else had this/these jokers ring them ?

He rang me today, number was 0014169270030, doubt anyone on here will be taken in but this is a scam, if you do get anything it will be worth nothing like what you paid for it.

Look what you missed out on!

You need to trust people more.

Certain coloured diamonds are rarer than clear. I think yellow is worth more per carat

To my credit I tracked them down and got my money back, I learnt a lesson as well, if it seems to good to be true it usually is.

Was only buying them as my brother needed some studio monitors and the name sound like the ones he said he wanted, "Acoustic Reference" or something, all speak brands sound like that !
