"They refunded mine today about 10 days after I mailed it back. I had bought it through the Bon Jovi site. I don't think these agents, music companies realize that we're reaching a tipping point with so many of these fake signed things that…"
"Mine from his store looks like an autopen. You turn over the paper and there's no ink bleed through. Take a magazine like People and try to sign your name with a sharpie and it goes right through the paper. I emailed them and they're…"
