Fraud on Ebay, I think... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Look at this photo it looks like it was done all by the same person and I have seen how there signatures look and the signatures on this photo look very much not like any of theres. What do you think?

DarleneIllyria · 07-20-2002, 07:00 PM

I don't know if that one is a fraud or not. Who is the seller? The one thing I would recommend to anybody about to bid on the pic, is to look at the person's feedback. Even if the seller has 10,000+ feedbacks. Does the pic come with a Certificate of Authenticity? Does the seller say that he or she is a member of UACC? If that is the case, I would go to UACC's site and look up a number if he plainly states on it. "I'm a UACC member. Number is 1881" or something."

I think I just got ripped off on an autograph picture I just won. I'm not really sure though. Someone posted on another board a day after I won the auction, so that really helped.

Like I said, if anybody plans on bidding look at every feedback. Just skim through it and read every Neutral or Negative feedback. This helps some of the time, but not all of the time. If the seller has over 4,000 feedbacks total, and he has 56 neutrals and 75 negatives...I really wouldn't bid on it.

Oh yeah, one more thing- Another thing you can do is go to www.stararchive.com and compare the signatures. Type in Nancy McKeon and do the comparing.

Kristina · 07-20-2002, 07:27 PM

Yeah, I checked and Nancy's autograph on Star Archives is way different than that ebay one, I guess the only way you can actually get an authentic autograph is to meet the person yourself or write to them. I wrote to Mary Tyler Moore and she gave me an authentic personalized autograph, and I tried to write to Jerry Mathers (Leave it to Beaver) but he charges $50.00 for a personalized autograph. I wish Kim Fields had a real mailing address, she's not found. I'm going to write to Lisa Whelchel, Nancy McKeon, and Charlotte Rae. I'm waiting for a glossy photo to come so I can send it to them to sign.

I thought the same thing when I saw it on eBay. I know Lisa's signature, and it looks nothing like that. And who ever signed it forgot to add an "S" to Fields I noticed.

Impressions · 07-20-2002, 08:44 PM

It hard to tell, but you right it does kind of look like that, I don't know what to say, I don't think it is a "fraud" but somethings definantly going on here.

MrsGarrettRocksMySocks · 07-20-2002, 11:02 PM

LISA signs all hers in capitol letters(except for Whelchel...)at least she did every single time she signed stuff for me...granted she only signed 4 things, but, still, FOUR times she did it ALL in caps...I would think she'd do it like that ALL the time?? Ya know?

Your right, she signs her first name in capital letters. Thats the way she signed my book.

DarleneIllyria · 07-20-2002, 11:56 PM

Someone already mentioned the Kim Fields auto that doesn't have the "S" on Fields.

Someone mentioned the Lisa and how she signs autographs with caps for her first name.

Look at Nancy's- I think I've seen Nancy's autograph before and it def. looks larger and loopier. Nancy's autograph on there looks so small and scrunched up.....

I really can't see Mindy's all that well. I see "Mindy", but I can't see "Cohn" is on it.

*Marilyn Monroe* · 07-20-2002, 11:58 PM

Is it just me, or does it look like Mindy didnt sign it? I dont see her signature anywhere on there!

Mindy's is signed in blue it really blended in with the blue in her Eastland uniform and makes it so difficult to see.

Kay Scarpetta · 07-21-2002, 11:57 AM

That is NOT Lisa Whelchel's signature......THIS is-
