VerifiedGood morning,
Unfortunately I have to tell you it is a scam. This type of scam is prevalent all over Africa, but especially in Ghana. The PISC's business is insurance and not holding gold deposits. Attached find a copy of a certificate from the same company used in another scam. It looks very similar to what you have described. I suggest that you forward your correspondence with these scammers to the authorities.
Regards,
BB
