At the auction sale at the Delta Airport Hotel in Richmond, BC, Cooper Sterling Services sold me a fake Omega Seamaster watch as an authentic for $2,464.00.
The watch did not keep the correct time and was completely stop working every night at approximately 3:00 am. I brought the watch to Rodeo jewellers to find out what was the problem. They could not fix the problem themselves and sent the watch to Omega in Toronto. Omega in Toronto after receiving the watch replied that the bezel on the watch is not manufactured by Omega and, therefore, would not repair the watch.
I calledMr. Jim Markalani in Toronto on September 21who sold me the watch to me at the auction sale in Richmond, BC advising him of the situation with the watch. He asked me to send him the Omega letter stating that the bezel is not authentic. I immediately send him the letter via fax, Rodeo Jewellers also send him the same letter from Omega in Toronto.
The next day I called Jim again and request the refund for the watch he sold me since the watch was not an authentic watch as represented and the certificate of authenticity states.
He promised to refund the money. I send him several e-mails confirming our telephone conversations and his promise to refund the money.
Nothing was done by Jim as promissed. Quit on the contrary, he was not answering any of the phones advertised on his business card. He basically disappeared into the thin air. I sent him several e-mails and received no replies at all.
I have contacted the City of Toronto. The City of Richmond and the Delta Airport Hotel and got nowhere with any of the institutions and the Delta Hotel. I was advised by both City of Toronto and the City of Richmond that Cooper Sterling Auction Services is not registered with any of these cities and therefore does not have a licence to conduct an auction business.
I would appreciate any help you can extend to me.
I am seriously thinking to pursue it through RCMP in Toronto and Richmond, BC.
Sincerely,
Roman P
