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

We trust you know have our feelings and await your apology by return.

Your security is that you can track the container online, this shows the container number which is on your sales contract, the container that you are purchasing which arrives into Miami March 15th this Sunday the arrival date. You may call me on 011441948880146. I also attach our banking instructions, all you need to do t close the deal is to sign and return the sales contract by fax or email and wire the funds of $8,500USD tomorrow and also either email or fax copy of wire receipt tomorrow. You can easily check via the Maersk shipping website that the container is enroute to Miami, tracking details below. Im sure this will be the beginning of lots of regular business that we will be doing together.

Is it safe to say I'm being scammed?
Thanks for the good work. My son gave me a call for advice on cross border purchases. The transaction he described sounded almost plausible: goods on water; original deal died; goods available at a deep discount.
I asked some questions. My son, who does auctions in South Florida, said that he'd come across antiquessupermarket.com a few times in the past and had made some inquiries. I was a little suspicious that the website had contacted him but my son's visits to the website might have explained their ability to find him.
I asked where the company was located. As soon as he said Isle of Man, lights started flashing in my head. I that before sending money, he should amend the sales agreement to include use of Paypal's escrow services. I then suggested that he google "antiquessupermarket.com complaints."
When I got home, I did that very thing. Your blog is fantastic and has saved my son and his buddies a lot of money. Well done, gentlemen.
When I got home, I decided to
Please tell me more about this as I have been contacted about a container
