Fakes on ebay

[Merf]

what a dumbass.

has anyone contacted Ebay about this fraud?

Pip? anybody?

It's super sick but it's happening more and more. You can put up videos much anymore so now it's autographs. I see more and more fake ones. I don't OWN real FM autographs but I have seen the real ones enough to know those are fake!

So many people bid as well.

And this person claims to have a COA...huh?!

I agree with anyone, I wouldn't want an autograph unless I got one in person anyway ( and God knows I never been close enough...yet...can anyone get me close enough! LOL)

[Merf]

I just sent this email to GPBANKSTREET@aol.com


Hello,

I am writing to let you know that Ebay has been contacted regarding these items you are selling as Fleetwood Mac authentic autographs:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...tem=3378465946

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...tem=3370373699

These autographs are fraudulent. It is easy to see with the naked eye when put up against authentic autographs from Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks, Christine and John McVie, and Mick Fleetwood.

One of your items for sale is apparently from the Manchester 12/3/03 show and Christine did not even attend this show. She was at the December 10th show in London. If the bidder IDs were not "private," we would be contacting them directly. However, Ebay has been contacted and will be investigating the matter.


Have a nice day.



does anyone know how we can contact ebay regarding this matter?

You rock!

I once got a horribly fake autographed Stevie photo on eBay sent from the UK. Serves me right though, there was no image. Otherwise I would have known right away.

Try using Help, contacting Safe Harbor (??)

At least their turnaround times are somewhat better although I feel their customer service still blows.

Merf your e-mail was so eloquent. Mine just said in large red capitol letters: STEVIE NICKS HATES FRAUD!

[Gypsy-Rhiannon]

He dug himself even deeper into the lie by trying to claim Christine was at the concert. She was definitely only at the last London gig. He should have at least claimed to have got it while at that show.... pillock

Yup.

[Merf]

He replied! Woot!

His reply is at the bottom, my counter reply is at the top. This guy is an idiot.

I will be emailing Safe Harbor about this.

Ciao everyone!

I'm not a sad person, just someone who doesn't want to see a bad Ebay seller making money off a fraudulent item.

"And you didn't bother reading the email" I sent? Well obviously you did because you knew just how to reply!

You are the sad one. Have fun ripping people off, I hope you sleep well at night.

Ciao!

PS. I've never purchased an autograph off EBAY and never will-- I have a little more smarts then to buy a obviously FAKE autograph from a seller as shady as you. I laughed when I saw the autographs you scribbled on those $15 CDs. Because they LOOK so fake! Next time, try looking at a real Stevie Nicks autograph and practice a few times before getting a sharpie involved. Just a tip.

Good one Merf

[Gypsy-Rhiannon]

LMAO!!! What an idiot! Well is seems he has ended the auction early! RESULT!!

He also called Sarah (Blackdove) a sad person when she emailed him and tried to claim that Christine signed it at her hotel and that their signatures do vary...lol
