Complaint Review: Autographs America - American Autograph Authentication Services - Brian Burkel - Wu Xin Burkel

From November 2009 to January 2010 I purchased signed guitars, albums and drum heads thinking they were original autographs on the items. I thought, WOW what a find. They had a 75% pre Christmas sale. I referred a friend who purchased two guitars too. However I found out they took the money from my credit card instead of hers which was $900. I sent many emails thinking this could not be true. All sorts of excuses came back but silly me still wanted to give them a go. Because of this I thought were there modern drum heads around when Patsy Cline was alive. I don't think so! Not the small new ones they have on their site. Then I did some more reading and the sheer number of Beatles full band signed albums just could not be true. It has been two months since they stole $900 from me with no apologies let alone the return of the money.

I did not give permission for autographs america to debit my credit card. I still have not had the funds returned hence proof I think that this company is a complete sham. It broke my heart to discover that I have wasted thousands of dollars on fakes, lost another $900 and even worse, referred a good friend. I can't bring myself to tell my friend what autographs america has done. If they read this please do the right thing. Collectors of autographed items just love the hobby. The excitement of receiving an item with your favourite singer or actors signature  is amazing and it is ashamed that people like autographs america preys upon this to steal people's money and break their hearts. And as for the pre Christmas sale - well it continued until last week and now it is 60% off!
