Question..

I was looking at the thread, Autographs for Sale/Exchange and came upon a Sale that really made me question whether or not this member was telling the truth and actually selling authentics....He claims to be a cousin of Emma Watson, but if you WERE a cousin, why would you be trying to sell copies of your cousins autographs online, right?? I'm scared that this person may be scamming members!!!

Here is the link..

I'd like to know what you all think

Thank you

I really hope this isn't a scam, but it sounds really suspicious.

The only thing is, we can't make a proper judgement unless we have a look at the actual photos in question.

Thanks nowandagain

No problem Chrissy :D

I really don't want anyone scammed. Especially since he'll be selling one-to-one, if something goes wrong there's nothing you can really do.

I just also want to add that from rob234111's post:
I'm selling them for $10 each, and if you want, for an extra $5 I'll send it back to her and get it personalized.
The $5 for personalisation sounds very dodgy. I don't think Emma would knowingly want her cousin (or anyone else) to profit from her celebrity status.

I really hope this is not a scam, but it does sound dodgy.

the only way of finding out maybe is to ask the people who havegiven their addresses to have a look at the scans and see if he really did send them!!! only an idea but it could be worth trying!! :D :D

This is the same member who, on his website (it used to be in his signature), posted in his guestbook pretending to be the stars of the Harry Potter movies (I checked IP addresses, and they were all the same as his). He has also posted numerous successes and promised photo proof, but has never supplied.

I'm not saying I can prove anything, but it does sound a little suspicious.
