- Unanswered
Auction house sold a fake/forgery painting by misrepresenting the product (artwork) through perpetuating the simulation of the artist's personal signature with their visual display on the action site. This occurred on 07/05/2022. My cost in damages was $360 plus time and efforts in trying to determine if the painting was authentic or fake. I have filed a complaint with the GA consumer affairs office also to prod them to look at criminal or civil litigation for art forgery, mail and internet fraud, state statutes for misrepresentation to revoke GA licenses for conducting auction business, and representing clients through auction knowing that clients were promulgating fake artwork in order to dupe public buyers for monetary gain. After contacting Heritage and asking for a refund, they sent me the small print terms that they are not responsible for authenticity etc, etc. They know the client and they must be dumb as a box of rocks to not know the artwork they represent on their website is fake and a real ***** *** artwork. I want a full refund plus damages for my time and effort, my review of this issue posted for other members of the public to be aware of their selling misrepresentations, and a lowering of any Better Business ratings you have as being an upright, morally ethical business of good standing.
