Banksy - Signed Barcode for 4.5K!, by G-Man on Aug 29, 2008 13:28:37 GMT 1, ******** FAKE ALERT - DO NOT BUY FROM THIS PERSON *********** Steer clear of buying from this guy, he sends out fake prints. I bought this guys B & W Trolley Hunters, but by mistake he sent out the Barcode - which is so fake its laughable. I have contacted POW, Ebay and the Police already. The barcode pictured on ebay, IS NOT the barcode print I received. Signature So steer clear of Robert McGarry or a Jason Merrington or Robert Lampton - these are all the names used post purchase.
This may be the same guy that sold me my fake Love Rat
Robert McGarry!!!
Steer well clear
Alsabar can you link your fake to Robert McGarry?

Banksy - Signed Barcode for 4.5K!, by alsbabar on Aug 29, 2008 13:52:45 GMT 1, i didnt buy the barcode, i bought a B&W Trolleys from him for ยฃ1700, which in the bigger scheme of things, isnt too far away from what they would sell for on ebay (ยฃ2500) - he stupidly sent me the Barcode by mistake - so for my fake, the person (who i know) who was going to buy the Barcode, saved himself ยฃ4500 and an even bigger pain in the arse
I will post pics later, ringing RentaGoon to deal with this guy

Banksy - Signed Barcode for 4.5K!, by Prescription Art on Aug 29, 2008 14:37:36 GMT 1, here are the pics Blatant Discrepancy - Gap between leopard and cage Blatant Discrepancy - Signature states 02, when it should be 03 - signature not the same on ebay Blatant Discrepancy - Number not the same as on ebay Blatant Discrepancy - This is sprayed on rather than a screenprint
Jesus that looks bad. Even disregarding the fact that Barcode wasn't released in 2002.

So again if Robert McGarry asks for payment, dont, simply report him to Pest Control - he has duped others, not just myself and G-man!!

Wow, this is the first time I've seen the special handsprayed Barcode edition from 2002!
Sorry, couldn't resist. But it looks sprayed rather than screened. Is it sprayed?

Banksy - Signed Barcode for 4.5K!, by hlarmy on Aug 29, 2008 18:11:48 GMT 1, That sucks Alsabar, how did you pay for it - are you covered by your bank or paypal?
What are the legal consequences of selling fake art as I have also recently bought what looks like is a fake Banksy canvas off Gumtree; if you have the sellers details, what can the police do?

Banksy - Signed Barcode for 4.5K!, by alsbabar on Aug 29, 2008 18:49:17 GMT 1, cheers guys, I also think he is a member of this forum - as i pointed out this thread to him before and he was aware of it. The legal consequences are severe as it is fraud and as such is a criminal matter. The person also has had paypal payments in the past, so his details are on file. He was probably hoping that I was some niave buyer who wouldnt have noticed the difference between a fake and a real one.
Remember the name Robert McGarry, do not trade with him. As for me, I do not intend to buy any art off anyone without sufficient references and/or without seeing it first in the flesh.

PM me if you think she maybe able to help. Best of luck.

Agree that airtight provenance, and a visual inspection are probably best these days (quite a sad state of affairs)

Banksy - Signed Barcode for 4.5K!, by James Smith 77 on Aug 30, 2008 6:12:17 GMT 1, Looks like the crackheads have gotten into the banksy scam game. This is horrible. There are so many BS auctions and fake prints/originals going around it's nuts. It's getting to the point that you really can't believe buy anything from anyone.
