New Information About Antique Supermarket Scam

Hey folks! The Antique Supermarket vermins are at it again. Charles Shackleton a.k.a David Charlton/Les Swainbank has a new alias. Add Alexander Blackburn to your watchlist.

Here is a comment we received earlier:

....He told me that his "old friend" from Liverpool or the Isle of Man or
wherever was now trying to do business as :

Alexander Blackburn
Antiques Shipper
Heritage Farm
Crossway Road
Caerwys
N. Wales

I thought you might like to have this information!!

So buyers beware and keep spreading the word! Every little piece of information can help somebody out.

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!

Any persons who have paid funds in connection to AntiquesSupermarket.com should contact their local Police Fraud Unit without delay.

What do these scammers have to hide???

Just to refresh everyone's memory... Why would a legitimate company have to put phoney information on their website? DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THESE PEOPLE AT ANY COST!

BUYER BEWARE!

Still Ripping People Off With Junk Antiques

The following series of emails were sent to us recently. As you can see by their content the Antiques Superscamming and lies are still continuing. Check out all the spelling mistakes in the Simon Lofthouse email. (Now he's claiming to be the head of their legal department)

Subject: Regarding Mr. Jeff Carlson's order

Mr Charlton,
It has recently come to my attention that you entered into a business agreement with my father, Mr. Jeffrey Carlson, to deliver two (2), pre-paid crates of various items from the UK and have them shipped to the US. My father has notified me that upon arrival, the product-specifications were incorrect and your response was a "secretarial error". At this point I should warn you that in stating your error, you've legally accepted culpability and any further actions other than immediate reparations will be in direct violation of several local laws concerning trade agreements; as well as international laws concerning the "violation of transparency in international trade agreements". As a UK resident and member of Council, I have several connections to local government as well as two solicitors drafting formal complaints against you as we speak. This is a grave matter and I urge you to speak to me as soon as possible in the hopes of avoiding a long, drawn-out litigation process. Your lack of response will leave me no choice but to pursue this matter on my family's behalf in The Island's High Court.

You should know that I have read of several complaints listed against you and your business dealings and am well-aware of the case(s) being constructed therein. Please do not take my complaint lightly.

Regards,
Scot Carlson
