7 gold buying stores in Jersey City are hit with 15 summonses by state Office of Weights and Measures
Friday, July 02, 2010 By MICHAELANGELO CONTE JOURNAL STAFF WRITER Seven Jersey City gold buying stores are among 49 statewide issued more than 1,600 summonses citing violations of regulations of the state Office Of Weights and Measures, officials announced yesterday. "Some of the buyers defrauded consumers, short-weighing their items and likely paying them less than the true value of the items," said Attorney General Paula T. Dow. Among the most flagrant violations cited was a scale that had a spring mounted under the weighing platform, officials said at a press conference in Avenel. The Jersey City businesses were issued a total of 15 summonses. They are Nationwide Gold Refinery, Diamond Hut Jewelers and Giorgios Fine Jewelry, all in Newport Centre Mall; as well as All American Gold Buyers, C.V. Jewelry and Gold Stone Jewelry, on Central Avenue, and Diamond Hut Jewelers, in the Hudson Mall, officials said. Woo Park, the owner of Gold Stone Jewelry, said yesterday his licenses have been renewed without a hitch every year since he opened 18 years ago and he has never had any problems. "This is ridiculous," said Woo Park about the violations his operation has been cited for, which he characterized as "relatively minor." "They said we need a lawyer so I am very mad. Now I have to pay for a lawyer," Park added. His son, James Park, said: "If they had told us, we would have fixed it." Park's court date is Aug. 2.
