Global Antiques, Auction Depot LA, Auction Shop USA
Fraudulent entertainment memorabilia authenticated by Global Antiques has been sold on eBay by sellers auctiondepotla1 and auctionshopusa

We are filing this report in hopes of reaching the masses. After extensive research into eBay sellers auctiondepotla1 and auctionshopusa, it has become apparent that many of the entertainment memorabilia items authenticated by Global Antiques, are clearly not "original" and/or "authentic" as represented in their eBay listings. As you will see by reviewing the following links, a number of these items have actually been found to post-date a film/television production or the death of a celebrity/historical figure.

Currently these three companies are under police investigation, so if you've been victimized please contact us so we can put you in touch with the right people. To this date, one of Auction Depot LA's buyers has been refunded $10,000 for her purchases after learning that the alleged film props were indeed fraudulent. Others are now coming forward as well.

This is likely the largest entertainment memorabilia fraud case yet. Hundreds of people have been affected and roughly $250,000 to $500,000 has been lost.
