Threatened to sue our family business for having a Facebook page with the words Joplin Gold & Silver, even though we have sold them gold Bullion, helping them fill orders for customers. The owners Threatened our store with legal action. As a business that tried to help them out getting started in our town, they completely lost the respect of our family. I talked to Kelly on the phone about being Christian and that our love for God, should compel us to work together for the greater good of people, but still she Threatened our business with lawsuits. Be careful with dealing with...
