I bought a closed Van Halen guitar off Ebay in 2008 and after spending money on them Ebay notified me the product might be phony. I instantly place an end towards the cost and that I followed the organization down who supplied the Certificate Of Authenticity (content attached) that included your guitar. The organization was Athletes America that works from Ravensdale. Their site is http://www.autographsamerica.com I approached them in relation to your guitar and questioned when they might reveal the credibility, etc. I sent backwards and forwards having a person named Brian Burns. John insisted he acquired the athletes personally in 1983 and delivered me a check of the show ticket stub. I expected him to please obtain a legal affirmation of his tale closed with a public notary which method easily actually offered your guitar, the individual wouldn't need to undergo what I experienced in relation to credibility.
I received a promissory note in relation to your guitar and Mark Burns trademark was observed with a Atmosphere Benson. So far as I had been worried which was adequate and taken care of your guitar.
I had been searching the net and discovered an internet site that signals folks of web scams and also to my shock Athletes America was about the listing. The web site is situated below: http://allreaders.net/memorabiliascams/autographsamericacom.html
I approached who owns the web site and informed him my tale. He quickly approached me back and questioned me to e-mail a duplicate of the promissory note so he may also do some inspections of their own. He explained he made connection with Atmosphere Benson via email. Atmosphere responded by stating that there's no John Burns; his actual title is John Burkel. I approached Atmosphere Benson myself and questioned if he observed the record signed by Brian Burns and he responded he did. He appeared to have transformed his tale within the e-mail delivered to me.
After studying exactly what hasbeen placed on the all visitors website, I'm confident there's no Mark Burns. I approached Athletes America and questioned who Mark Burns is plus they stated he's the bald man within the images on the site and also to never contact them again. Quite honestly I dont think them. Today I'm left having a useless authorized guitar, whilst the something that ensures its credibility is infact phony.
I stuck a using the FBI cybercrime system. I've likewise stuck a with Linda Mead who's Supervisor of the Notary Public Plan in Washington State. I also stuck a using the sheriff in King County who stated these were not able to aid because of budget restrictions.
I've also approached PSA/genetics due to their viewpoint of your guitar plus they have stated it's "Probably Not Real".
I'm sure I'm not alone that's been scammed by these folks and also the more I browse the more I'm surprised that nothing can be achieved to have rid off them. They're tearing a large number of dollars from people.
