2013 brings in NEW SCAM and yet another new address

These guys are now selling "How to Start an Antique Business" subscriptions for ONLY $25 US. I guess selling REAL QUALITY antiques was just too much hard work. Stay away from this company if you want to avoid real headaches when your container of "antiques" FINALLY arrives. Plus they now have yet another new address. It seems they change it every year. Is it to try and stay ahead the angry customers or the law?

Pictures Have Changed to Protect the Guilty

Unbelievable what these cheating scammers are still doing. After we outed some of the criminal elements involved with the Antiques Supermarket, they changed the pictures on their website. They did not change the descriptions beside the photos very much though.

January 29, 2008 this was the description of their "Head of Global Sales":

David Charlton
(Head of Global Sales)

David has been with the company for a total of 15 years and is Head of Global Sales. He is also responsible for public relations abroad as he travels the Globe meeting past and new clients ensuring customer satisfaction and are high standards of business excellence are maintained.

August 24, 2011 this is the description of their "Head of Global Sales": (note what they say about Mary "as he travels the Globe")

Mary O Hare
(Global Sales)

Mary has been with the company for a total of 15 years and is Head of Global Sales. She is also responsible for public relations abroad as he travels the Globe meeting past and new clients ensuring customer satisfaction and are high standards of business excellence are maintained.

Here is a screen capture of the page from January 29, 2008 as proof.

Buyers beware!

Vermin At It Again!

Beware! The Antique Supermarket Scammer is using a new name. So let's review, these are the names you should be wary of :

Charles Shackleton
David Charlton
Les Swainbank
Alexander Blackburn

His new name now is a variant of his Alexander Blackburn alias. We just received a comment by 'eclipse' saying:

I was contacted by a fellow named Alex who states he is a large antique furniture dealer in Wales. He will sell containers for a cheap price but insists that you pay prior to receiving photos of what you are purchasing. Reading the Antiques Supermarket website and comments on this blog... there seems to be a link between the man who contacted me and Antiques Supermarket.

Global Shippers aka
Antique's Shippers
No 1, Coton Hall
New Road
Whitchurch
Shropshire
SY13 3LW
United Kingdom
Phone +44(0)/ +44(0) 798 371 2600 Fax 44 207 990 9909
email ANTIQUESHIPPERS@aol.com/globalashipping@aol.com

Now, we don't know for sure if these guys are Antiques Supermarket, but this should warn you if ever you get contacted by these folks.

Here are links of previous posts where we posted pictures of how these low lives load and pack their containers:

How containers are normally packed.
What we found when the container arrived!!!

Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority Warns Public about these scammers too!

The Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority, Finansinspektionen, is a public authority.

Finansinspektionen issues warnings about companies when there are grounds to suspect that they are offering Swedish consumers and investors financial services or products without the necessary authorisation from Sweden or EU.

FI also publishes warnings from other countries. According to an agreement within the Committee for European Securities Regulators, CESR, all warnings from supervisory authorities in the EU are published. Warnings from authorities in countries outside the EU are published if it is brought to their attention that the company has contacted Swedish consumers or investors.

FI issues warnings about the companies as soon as they have knowledge about them.

Guess who made their list! Yes, that's right, those rip off artists at Antiques Supermarket are on the Investor Alerts list of the Swedish consumer protection agency! (see their website here http://www.fi.se/Templates/AlertListPage____6164.aspx?query=A).

We can only hope these antique cheats will soon be out of business!
