Fraud? & Phony?

[Orv Reichert]

There is no law against making and selling these stamps.


There is a law against misrepresenting anything that you sell. It is called FRAUD!


There are few folks, unfortunately, who are willing to stand up and say..''HEY...THAT GUY MAKES AND SELLS FAKES!'' Until that happens, we allwill be at risk.


One guy. in Northern Florida has been cited in AUTOMAG several times. Now, I hear, his son is in the business as dad was arrested. Unfortunately, even NAPCA, on advise of their attorney, is hesitant to name

names.


Another guy in the Midwest was constantly advertising phony stuff. I hear he caught so much heat that he is out of the business of selling guns, now. [I wonder where the guns went?....anyone know?]


There appears to be no real solution at this time. I would suggest you always get a written description of the piece and keep it. Always confirm your details in writing when you send the check. always state the return policy. Always note that there is to be no 'restocking charges'. If it is sold as original,..state that it is described as ''ALL ORIGINAL PARTS AND FINISH WITH ALL MATCHING NUMBERS''


Then. later on, if you find you have been burned, you have some legal points to cite...not just the 'he said' and 'I said' stuff that we have read in this forum in the past!
