Lot of Michael Jackson signatures... real or fake? (Forger Erick Oswaldo McKay, Erick Mckay Burgos) marc-at2014, always-4-fun, bluelifesaver, disneycolector eBay names

Hope I'm asking this in the right section...
I've recently bumped into this person's little collection of MJ sigs...

http://billiejean5809.deviantart.com/gallery/

My concern is that all those sigs look too similar... I'm thinking they're signed by the same person, but I'm stumped as to if they're really Michael.

Thank you for any opinions/help in advance.

MODERATOR NOTE:  All of Erick McKay Burgos' art folders on Deviant Art have been removed by him after being outted here.  They were screen captured before his removal and are listed below.   Please use them to reference as you read through this thread.

Took awhile but he's finally signing the passes he bought awhile back (listed earlier in this discussion). 

Here are two auctions he won under his old eBay account song_jack last yr.

Wascher, when did Erick McKay start doing his dirty work? I mean how far back does his forging of MJ go?

He had a few here and there trickle through auction houses right after MJ died, and then had his deviant art accounts selling regularly in 2012, until 2014 when Ema and I outed him and he shut those down.

You know...your consistently great work on MJ cannot be praised and thanked enough. You (and Ema) have certainly saved many MJ fans a lot of money.

This creep is a one man wrecking crew and needs to be stopped. Without Wascher  and Ema this guy would have made a fortune. Im sure he is just looking for other outlets to peddle his poison.

I wonder if he gets up and goes to work in the morning. He probably wouldn't know the meaning off a honest days hard work. Kick him in the balls Ian.

This guy also does other artists  too, Applebeatle picked up a McCartney recently and got it passed by Cox.  Its irritating as all get out. 

I gotta give it up to Lizzie as well, she has helped a lot with things since last November, she's getting the eye for Erick autographs now.  AJ is good at spotting these too.  Ema has been super busy so she can't get on as much as she used to, tho I do shoot her updates on occasion so she keeps up on this guy.

21 Sept 2015 Items sold as follows, according to ebay: (unless these are 'false sales' ie to alternative accounts / associates)

autographs set $411, 33 bids. Winner  44 starred

MJ drawing, with yellow pass $434, 5 bids .winner  669 starred

Peter pan drawing with green pass $338, 5 bids. winner 669 starred

The old drawing of a head with icicles and mushroom sold for $240, again with the proviso that these are 'genuine' sales.

The old signed 'Datsun' ad sold for $54. So it seems that different and probably genuine buyers are bidding on these , sadly.

He's trying a different style of L in Love.  And he still stinks at it.  None of the "inscriptions" are even close to MJ's writing.  This is one of the reasons I like items with more writing.  His handwriting (MJs) isn't easily forged, but his signature is.

Wish I could sick my Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy on him (that's for you Wascher).
