Pest Control COA โข Banksy Print Authentication, by danvnuk on Apr 11, 2008 10:00:36 GMT 1, interesting. No mention of charges.
The other thing that immediately springs to mind is - until someone like Laz says this site is officialy their site - I'd refrain entering any details - it occurs to me that its pefect for a fraudster to phish legitimate artwork details - or even a burglar to find out addresses of who's got artwork worth stealing! LOL
Which also makes me think - shouldn't the form be securely encrypted in some way - like online credit card details are, considering your entering all your provenance details - edition number and even your address.

This is from the Laz Inc website:
Q. Can you tell me if my Banksy work of art is authentic?
A.
All Banksy authentications are now being handled by Pest Control. Please email all future enquiries to info@pestcontroloffice.com.
To the best of my knowledge you can't have an email address (info@) if you don't have the domain name too.
I agree with the encryption part though for the form

Pest Control COA โข Banksy Print Authentication, by funyoung on Apr 11, 2008 14:20:02 GMT 1, seems to me that they are inviting an awful lot of extra work with no explanations etc. about prints / street pieces.
does Banksy really remember every traffic cone he sprayed a rat on?
There have been loads of dubious street pieces on ebay recently - If you bought one ( I have none) would you get it checked by pestcontrol? It might be real but it might be rendered worthless on the resale market if proven a forgery.

I really doubt that they will give any authentication on street pieces, genuine or otherwise. I don't think they will want to be seen to be encouraging people to chisel Banksy's off walls.
Proabably more likely that 'Steet Pieces' is an option so they can send a rude email back to the person in possession of it.

"We cannot be sure whether the pieces you've shown us were done by the artist Banksy or not, however as a policy anything that was created without the intention to sell does not receive a Letter of Authentication."
So I am not sure why they have added that section?!

Well then given the uniform responses to enquires re: authentication of street pieces, it's clear why they added that section - to weed out requests for authentication of street pieces and give them short shrift!
