    Status:
    Answered
    A complaint is being filed with the *********** ******** ******** ******. This Autograph Authentication Sevice fraudulently takes your money and then cancels the service request without notifying you. A request was made by email to authenticate a signature. A $20 invoice for a fee was issued by them to me that had to be paid before the process started. The process was to start with a picture of the signature and circumstances sent online to their email address for pre-verification and was supposed to take up to 7 days . After 9 days an inquiry was made as to what the initial results were. The "Lead Authenticator", Justin S******* responded with an email back telling me the results were emailed to me a "few days ago". In a response back I stated that I had NOT received anything and a check of my spam folders resulted in nothing. They were asked to resend it. There was no response after 3 days. I checked my bank account for the withdrawal, which was there. So I directed my attention to ******, which I had used to pay for the invoice. I initiated a dispute only to find that "Justin S*******" had cancelled the service without notifying me. This is a type of Financial Cyber Fraud as ****** does not notify you when a vendor cancels a purchase or service. They just assume your money has been refunded. I was smart enough to use ****** and smart enough to immediately dispute the transaction. ****** immediately refunded my money. Knowing the service had been cancelled by the business owner on their end. If I had not been paying attention I would be out the $20 after the ****** dispute window expired. There's your fraud.

    We had a successful customer client relationship for the past two years, then they didn't certify autographs after I paid for them.

    This person has repeatedly mailed unsolicited packages to one of our offices prior to actually placing any kind of order with our service. Our service exclusively accepts packages for customers with orders who have had successful, Passed reviews of their autographs online prior to mailing in. Complainee also has currently pending, unpaid return shipping invoices, due to us having to continuously return his unsolicited packages to him. We review and certify thousands of autographs monthly and have dozens of mail-ins incoming and outgoing for hundreds of satisfied customers through our Connecticut office on a regular basis. This customer is the only one who sends unsolicited packages without orders to this location.
