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)
Sent: Sat, 28 Feb 2009 4:13 pm
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

Another Customer Burned by Swainbank finds the blog!!
Ron said...
Thank you all for the information on Antique Supermaket. I to have been in touch with Charles for a few months trying to establish a company to ship from England. I was a little suspicious when I was getting e-mails that a container was on its way to the US and the reciever had died and it would be sold to me for thousands less. After a few of those and the e-mails from Charles I was feeling a little unsure. You all have confirmed my feelings and the container I was going to have shipped in May (2008) will not be ordered. I cant thank you all enough. I am sorry you did not have the advantage of this blog prior to ordering but you are helping others. Are there any reputable shippers you can share with me? Thank you again! Ron in the USA

Les Swainbank - Antiques Supermarket Update
Well over the last 6 weeks we have found several other people who have been ripped off by Charles Shackleton or Les Swainbank. Most recently some colleagues we were in contact with from South Africa returned to Shropshire England to claim their missing goods (items that ordered and paid for but never shipped). My Shackleton wasn't pleased or all that happy to give them their items back. The last contact I had with them involved the local police who were more than happy to assist
I assume with the way Antiques Supermarket does business that police have been involved more than once. The biggest benefit of committing crimes internationally is that there is a great deal of cost involved and prosecuting somebody in those circumstances can be very tricky. So most people just lay dawn and accept they have been shafted. The problem for guys like Charles is not everybody takes this sort of thing laying down. Hopefully our South African friends will be able to post some good information here when they get home.
Updates will be posted as they come in. One more thing there seems to be another fake person involved now. A gentleman by the name of Simon Lofthouse has been signing off on some emails now. He is listed as financial director.... So we have William Darling, Simon Lofthouse, Charles Shackleton and Lez Swainbank.....whenever an email is sent from any of these people there are the same spelling mistakes also when you call the phone numbers on the website and ask for Simon or William no one who answers knows who you are referring to????
