Fakes from Norwegian seller of forgeries Bent Madsen

Hi all

I need an opinion on this autograph on sale on a Norwegian auction by a Norwegian that I`m suspicious are selling a lot of fake autographs. Is this real or a fake? I am suspicious because it doesn't seem similar to other I've seen.

Haha, will be exiting to see if we see him on these pages again, he should stand up and face the truth!

Well Don. I got a phone-call from qxl today, and they wanted some advise about this user hardyboy. I had a good conversation with their representative, and the conclusion is that they are banning him from the site from today. :)))

That´s great Trond. Good work getting him kicked out from qxl too! Now we have kicked him out from Tradera, Finn.no and qxl...

Time to say bye bye to Hardyboy40, Guitarman78, Bent Madsen, Bent Sumelius & Vidar Scheen! But I´m sure he will make a comeback soon, so we´ll have to keep our eyes open!

But for now, I think I´ll send him a mail at sumeliusbent@yahoo.no and tell him that he can keep his wonderful autographs. They would look lovely on his wall in his trashy apartment. Sorry, but sometimes it´s just so funny to gloat... :-)

I think the conclusion must be that Vidar is the same person as the forger we have discussed here. No response to our questions to see pictures of his 6 "in-persons" from Bruce Springsteen, and seems he was in here just to defend his bad forgeries. I`ll give him one more chance though. Vidar, if you see this, can you show us the ones you claim to be real autographs, obtained in-person from Bruce Springsteen the 3 times you say you have met him?

This is your chance to come clean and defend what you claimed here in this forum.

That's good Bjarte79. But I think it's better if so many as possible report him, so please do that too Trond!

Now I also have reported this forger.

Bjarte79 and Trond (and anyone else who reads this), please report him to both finn.no and qxl.no! Because of the magnitude of this scam (there is a lot of people that he has decieved), maybe one of you in Norway can report him to the police? This is pure fraud...

Keep me updated with any respons!

I also contacted the forger himself (via finn.no) and sent him a link to this discussion. Just to get him to read this and know that we are chasing him...
