This is an important notice. We have just received a copy of a PDF which
shows an authentication of an item which we have NOT authenticated. The
PDF has been 'hacked'. It has been 'lifted' from one of our clients
listings, and then used to sell an item. At present, we are not aware as
to whether there are further incidences of this - we have had this
happen in the past. PDF's are 'locked' but can be 'hacked' if someone
wants to. Its as simple as a 'scammer' will do this to ensure
their item appears legitimate. Please ensure that if you are offered an
item which is alleged to have been authenticated by us that you contact
us and ask for confirmation. That way - you keep yourselves safe. Once I
have further details of this issue we will take steps to deal with the
person concerned. DO NOT be under any illusion - people will try any
trick they can. DO NOT be under any illusion - we will take legal action
against anyone we find using our documents to peddle fake items. That
is FACT. |
