Releasing that kind of stuff just open a door on a scam festival.I almost lost 8k gbp because of one of your copy.if I didn't know you were doing this thing, the print will still be framed and on my wall without knowing that I bought a cheap copy for a lot of money.

You can't really blame him for your deal though? If someone is selling a kit-car Ferrari and passing it off as a real one you'll check right? It's not the kit-car makers fault. Not defending him but If I was spending that kind of dosh I'd be checking every little inch of that thing.

Art Wanted, by Deleted on Jun 3, 2014 17:51:05 GMT 1, In my naive forum early days i defended wcp just making cheap affordable copies for those who couldnt afford the real thing(got a lotta love for that), its now pretty clear there really should be a wcp marking/stamp visible on the front, not everyone has the knowledge of the forum and im sure people have been burnt and will again, you should sort this.
Edit i'm a slow typer, jp covered it

Other retail sectors where fakes are sold, the proceeds go to fund other criminal activity - who knows what the money from selling WCPs goes to fund.
Supporting this outfit is not as harmless as some believe.
Shocking that this forum provides a platform for it really.

Art Wanted, by daveart on Jun 3, 2014 22:00:45 GMT 1, i know nothing of the law. i am just a guy that buys and sells some art here and there. my 2cents. it is absolutely wrong to make a piece of art work that is the same size, same color, same, everything and sell it on for any price. There should be some easy distinguishing characteristic that sets it out ..paper.. size... margin.. anything that makes it readily apparent of what it really is. if it is not readily apparent.. it should be banned from this forum and all places until it meets that criteria. A simple stamp on the back does not cut it in my mind.. as much as people can yell buyer beware... lets yell scammer get out .. what a miserable place to be if the assumption is that people are trying to rip you off... just miserable.

I am not an artist but I have a lot of problems with it. I do not understand why they should be allowed to profit one penny off something that is not theirs. It should be illegal and not promoted/encouraged at all. The fact that it is written fake in the back does not justify it. But this is my opinion, and I will walk the talk by not buying them and wish they would be banned from the forum.

Who in their right mind buys and original in a frame You have to be VERY naive at BEST to not understand the concept of people buying framed art.It's human nature to trust people.Not saying it's smart to do so but it does happen and always will. Obvious you have been around the forum for sometime, so are fully aware people buy framed art yet jump at people for doing so.
Fact is YOU provided the vehicle for nefarious people to attempt these frauds. Bang on about COPY being stamped on them all day long if you really feel that shields you. Still you've had a fair few quid out of it all so what's the problem eh
Edit:If it came a to vote I would ban this crapola too.(not that it ever would)
