poss scam involving Banksy print/Pest control, by moron on Aug 29, 2019 23:42:47 GMT 1, Going by what you write and i'm not making any kind of judgement either way. I can think of two theories on how this might have come about. If allegedly someone who was working at POW at the time handling sales pocketed the money and sent out a print. Which I think would not be easy to do below management level. Or if allegedly the print was paid for with a rubber cheque or stolen bank card or something similar and the print was sent out before the bank notified POW. Then POW made a record of the print number with an alert notification if and when they get sent that print number to their system. I think POW should actually say why they believe the print is stolen and reveal the circumstances in their words that it was stolen under. Hi mate thanks for this post. Your first theory sounds feasible. We think the payment was made on a card of my mums with a bank that no longer exists so even the police didn’t manage to get the bloody bank statements. Just to expand. The print was t reported stolen until 2011 whereas we bought it in 2005 so wouldn’t have been flagged for first 6 years it was in our possession
So no one has been charged with a crime and if the police seized the print then would they have handed it to the person/s who notified them without a court case. I think they would have gone the route of seizing the print and then telling you that you have to prove you obtained it legit by providing proof of purchase etc etc. So all in all for PC Plod on the basis that you have not kept any receipts etc they could charge and prosecute you on some ones say so and pat themselves on the back without caring if you are guilty or innocent. It's so easy to get stitched up these days by people who are not right in the head. Although it's not up to you to prove your innocence, it's up to the accuser and police to prove your guilt and as the saying goes. Say nothing and never answer any questions by the police.
If you bought the print in 2005 and the print wasn't reported stolen untill 2011. It's possible that allegedly someone who knows you have had the print since 2005 who knows how much it's worth in 2011, who knows the print number and all the relevant details of said print. Contacted POW or Pest Control pretending to be the owner in order to steal the print from you, using false accusations. Either Pest Control has the name of the owner on record registered in 2005 which they can provide. Or they do not have an owner for the print registered by them back in 2005 and and someone contacted them in 2011 saying they are the owner.

Just to expand. The print was t reported stolen until 2011 whereas we bought it in 2005 so wouldn’t have been flagged for first 6 years it was in our possession It's all weird. Did you follow up on the police and their search warrant? Names of the police who went with the warrant and get a copy of the warrant and a crime number. (The police could have shown your friend a piece of paper with anything written on it) They haven't charged anyone with theft or any crime and seem to have taken someones words as factual and appear to have acted on "probable cause". They have to provide their names and also give you a copy of the warrant or leave a copy at the premises in a prominent place. So no one has been charged with a crime and if the police seized the print then would they have handed it to the person/s who notified them without a court case.

PM’s should not be made public save in extreme circumstances eg threats or abuse (not what withnail said they were). The clue is in what the P is short for.

When the police arrested Brian Haw, the peace protester and seized his banners including at least one large signed Banksy original gifted to Haw by Banksy. What happened to the original? Did the police return it to Brian or did some other person or persons claim it was really their property?

Well there’s a warning to anyone thinking of sending a pm to you!
The etiquette of the forum is that pm’s should be kept private save in the circumstances I described earlier.

I was referring to PM's from companies and the like in the form of emails from them and any "threatening" messages or content.
I construed alleged PM's from Pest Control to people as being in the forms of email back and forth communications. I doubt that Pest Control would be sending threatening PM's to forum members and I see nothing wrong with exposing people or companies who do send threatening PM's anyway.
Just to add Coach, I do not share private PM's I receive with anybody and I also do not play whispering games behind peoples backs via PM's on this forum as some others do.

poss scam involving Banksy print/Pest control, by Deleted on Aug 30, 2019 6:54:41 GMT 1, Pest Control won't be doing this to antagonise or purposely cause stress, the main objective is to safeguard from fraud/theft. I believe staffing has been a long term issue, as the volume of emails and issues to do deal with has increased dramatically over the years finding the right staff to deal with the influx is likely very difficult given the circumstances, it isn't a normal business scenario where finding trusted staff is fixed simply with job advertisement. It is something I'm sure they're trying to rectify. At any one time I would guess the volume of emails is staggering given the artist involved. It is a Unique scenario. Persistence and patience although frustrating is the key.

Which allegedly Pest Control is part of. Hello again. Thanks for you lengthy message.. All I have is heresy on this but I was told by the police that the people who reported it stolen had a proof of purchase but not a COA. So they could have bought it anywhere and as it would have been second hand who knows if it was real. Nobody was ever charged after all we have digital prints with metadata showing it in our possession in 2005. The CPS never would have prosecuted had it gone that far as they need about a 80% certainty of conviction to proceed. |

I think people aren't realising how freaked out/stressed I was when I typed my original post. No magistrate present but had issued a warrant. What was very bizarre at the time is that the flat was unoccupied so they either got very lucky with their visit or were spending our tax fees stalking out the flat for one print! |

poss scam involving Banksy print/Pest control, by withnail69 on Sept 18, 2019 11:45:57 GMT 1, Just an update..
Have heard back from journalist. Reply from PC as follows. It seems as is the general consensus I am picking up from this forum and all the DM's that PC aren't willing to admit any (or many) mistakes. We gave them a chance and I'm afraid to say the article will be portraying PC in a negative light as they are listening to the police rather than checking or keeping their own records. As it stands there is now the possibility of two worthless barcode editions in existence but I don't believe the other still exists or will ever surface.
This is the on the record quote:
The person who registered this artwork as stolen purchased it directly from the Santa’s Ghetto exhibition in 2004. We were informed of the theft in 2011 and given a crime reference number. When we were approached by a third party to authenticate this print in 2018, we duly informed the police of the official information from our records - Pest Control.

We were informed of the theft in 2011 and given a crime reference number. When we were approached by a third party to authenticate this print in 2018, we duly informed the police of the official information from our records - Pest Control. Will this crash the print market Thanks for your concerns though lol |

poss scam involving Banksy print/Pest control, by tab1 on Sept 19, 2019 0:37:21 GMT 1, Will this crash the print market Thanks for your concerns though lol
thought if made publicly would worry potential buyers paying for a service to protect their investment / purchase could be flawed and would bump pc to investigate procedures

I'm disgusted with them and what they have become.. All the anti establishment rhetoric etc... That will be the angle of the article.. Myself a collector and supporter of Banksy/POW from day one with a history of over half a dozen purchases from them etc... |

I suppose they made a few mistakes In the past and taking control of the secondary market they can remove these mistakes.
A few people in the past had duplicates and had sent back aps as asknowdlegement of pc: their mistakes so can be a bonus also.
Inhouse produced backdoor prints are probably the biggest problem as if these were applied for coa first then the genuine print turns up with receipts and email trail , then alot of the early fakes are still out there and probably new ones not known about yet , as sums involved are so great and the prints are quite basic to forge they will at some point be reproduced fraudulently
