GOLD FROM BENIN

I have been involved with a company in Benin that consolidates gold dust and dorey bars from surrounding countries and villages. This company claims to be legitimate and has posted all their documentation to me. For me to become a representative of their company here in my country, i had to pay 1200 Euros through money gram. I did that in October. I have not received my letter yet as the company claims I need to pay an additional 475 Eoros. This document has to be registered at the government offices. They use cell phone numbers and when I try to contact them, the phones are not answered. I have forwarded my passport to them as they said they need it for my mandate letter. I asked a private investigator to see if they exist and it was reported back to me that the company is legitimately registered, but there is no trace of any previous gold transactions done. The company name is Africa Index Sarl, Cotonou Benin.
I have some buyers that are interested to purchase the gold, but I am scared because I can land in a lot of trouble.

Scam. If you pay the 475 Euros, they'll just ask for more and more fees. Just break off communication now. There is no gold.
