On 26 October I put a few bids via Auction online platform HiBid.com and I won a few Chinese vases from company Florida Antique & Fine Arts, Inc. After this I contacted via email to company that sold these vases and I offered to pay with credit cards for my won items. But they were adamantly - the said no, we can accept only wire transfer or check. After this I had doubts about authenticity of these vases since they were claimed as antique from collector Edward Hobart Seymour's uncle's family (with stamps and red sealing-waxes). But since company rejected to accept credit cards I had doubts. Since usually fraudulent companies always don't accept credit cards, since first thing that consumer is doing when receives fake item is open dispute with bank. I asked a few experts, including experts from Sotheby's and Christie's and they politely rejected evaluate these items because they are non-original. After this I contacted this company and informed them that I decline to pay for won items, since items are not original. I was said that they can not accept false accusations without written documentation from a specialized appraisals from credible institutions such as Sotheby's. In answer I provided photoscreens from Sotheby's and Christie's auction houses about these items. Also I was said that If the successful bidder fails to pay the invoice, the buyer will be responsible for liquidated damages of 30% of the hammer price. In my case, the liquidated damages cost is $2,752.5. Otherwise, they have no choice but to mark this transaction as a dispute and it will show on my bidding record. Of course, I declined to pay for these items and blocked my bank card. And this company put on me a negative score on site Hibid.com. Since in their emails sent to me there are no any names, I made a small investigation and now I know that this company belongs to Chinese Lady by name Ning Tinsley (she was born in China and I think all these fake items are from China, but they are all new and imitated in style of antique. And also in total she has 5 registered companies on her name in Florida that sell fake antiques (mostly Asian vases and reproductions of paintings from famous Chinese artists )- I'm providing names of these companies:

-MY ANTIQUE COLLECTION, INC;

- FLORIDA ANTIQUE & FINE ARTS, INC;

-VENICE GALLERY, LLC;

-CHARLOTTE'S AUCTIONS, LLC;

-NT Auction & Gallery, LLC.

And unfortunately via all of these sites people buy fake antique thinking that these items are original, but they are all new and imitated. She uses false collectors' labels and red paint just to deceive people. All the routines are artificially set, which is blatant deception. Artificial collector settings, artificial old labels, artificial old red paint. They have no physical presence as an auction house (Google them and check it out for yourself), but during auction sells it was written that they have floor bidders - it's made for stimulation of doing bids. I think it is a complete fraud and crime, since this lady fools non-experienced people to get their money (big money, since these items are expensive) and I insist to investigate it. Since I was really morally and emotionally injured and also I received negative score from her on site Hibid.com (since this auction platform protects auction houses, but not bidders and therefore fraudulent companies misuse it). Also I'm really sorry for those people who paid her money for fake antique. If you need any extra documents, such as photographs, or any other info, I can provide by request.
