Banksy Stop and Search Print, by met on May 23, 2020 10:41:58 GMT 1, Hi, i have been offered a Banksy Artist Proof Stop and Search. The number I have been offered is Roman I, like you can see at the photos. What is your opinion, for me it looks like fake. Nice Saturday for everybody.    
Does it come with a COA from Pest Control? No and the story he is telling around this is also crazy, but I‘m interested in your opinion, what do you think, legit, good fake, worse fake etc. maybe it also helps others to be more carefully before spending there money for works without CoA.
Use your common sense. fake as hell I also say, that it is fake, but I think it is ok to ask for other opinions and thoughts.
Curious as the circumstances of being offered this print I have been interested in a Beuys he is selling in Germany and recently he offered me the, that he has an Banksy Artist Proof and that he is not very firm with Banksy ( I pretended to be totally unknown about Banksy ) and than he starrest cooking his story, that he bought this from a worker of PoW during his stay in London etc because the guy needs cash etc. because he wasn’t paid at the end by PoW. Of course a crazy story, unbelievable but I just thought, I will share this with the community and asking about opinion.
now you should share with him that he can no longer blow smoke rings up your backside. I‘m just thinking, how to do it, to leave this also with a profit 😉
1. The piece you've been offered is a counterfeit Banksy print. Here is just one of the red flags:
Detail of the counterfeit
Detail of a Stop and Search print by Banksy
2. The seller is clearly a fraudster. The backstory they gave you discounts the possibility that they genuinely believe the print to be authentic.
3. Given points 1 and 2 above, please could you provide details of the seller — e.g. (as applicable) their name, website, email address, forum username, and/or eBay ID.
This will let forum members know who to watch out for, reducing their risk of getting scammed by the same seller.
[An additional benefit of disclosing such information is that it will offer reassurance that you yourself are posting here in good faith.]

usually a test on a Forum to pass the authenticity test for fraudsters , not associating conduct to the op just an observation

Id rather see legit specifics of what is wrong with a print, than seeing a forum member belittled for not being an expert on something. |

Although this one is probably fake can someone please post a thread with a real one asking for opinions saying you don’t have a COA and then say jk here’s the COA.
Would be fun.

plenty folks have banksy prints without coa’s or registered in their names. This is just fake and if it had a COA that would be fake as well, its nothing to do with the lack of a COA.

The eBay seller also has a couple more Banksy prints for sale with similar story.

So unless it's grey or the standard S&S, its bullshit.

No, this is not the guy!
The guy is located in Germany, I contacted him and he stopped the auction, but I believe, that he is trying to sell them without ebay, so maybe would be good and nice, if someone or some more can drop him a message!

Banksy Stop and Search Print, by Fuzzyduck121 on Jun 8, 2020 14:18:21 GMT 1, The contents look legit to me
Based on the detailed emails and the name cross referenced with the ID
To me the signature looks spot on compared to mine and the tube and PC cert look kosher but that doesn’t mean the listing is to be trusted just that the photos look right

No. No way. No one can post a pic of a genuine S&S for you to see. Do some research, search the forum, compare pics and posts.
Remember the forum has a vast wealth of information at your fingertips.

Banksy Stop and Search Print, by fusion0001 on Jun 8, 2020 16:29:34 GMT 1, The paper on which CoA is printed and the Tenner look a bit wrong to me also. Could be that the seller has cranked up contrast, but they look too “white” and fresh compared to CoAs with similar age.

Banksy Stop and Search Print, by sven on Jun 8, 2020 17:57:55 GMT 1, Agree feels off.
COA biggest concern for me too. Tenner shade of colour looks a bit strange as mentioned above.
Did a quick google search of PC COA's and found plenty that have a very similar signature. But the person at PC that signed in that way seems to have always dated the document by writing the date out in full e.g. "04 December 2010" or wrote it "04.12.10" but never "04/12/10" (which is the case here). Doesn't prove anything but yeah one more thing to the list.
Also think the fact that the seller has uploaded pics of so many things including his own ID on ebay seems to be making a bit too much effort.
