Chris Cassidy has been know to a few dealers in the UK as a forger, fraudster and con man for over 10 years. During that time he has targeted various dealers, mainly those who don't have the knowledge, or skills or more importantly the experience to be able to avoid such scum.
Chris has duped dealers here, abroad and even in the USA out of probably 100's of thousands of £'s although thsi case only concentrates on the UK ebay fraud he ran, but his biggest scams were simpe confidence tricks.
He used a number of eBay id's and it is thought that there are still sellers on eBay who are selling his crap. I am aware that he sold a lot of signed books with a COA from 'Investabook' all the ones i have seen are simple fakes. Not sure if he faked the signatures or not, but either way they are still fakes!
Shame he only got a year, but i know that they have other charges which may be bought whilst he resides in prison. What a lovely Christmas present!

I doubt it will change anything, but sending the link to few of the ones on eBay might just make them think about it!

It might make one or two think twice, at least we can hope. Well done to all who helped bring this fraudster before the courts.

One less to worry about for now. Thank goodness I did not buy off him that I am aware of. Thank you for keeping us all informed.
