'The Collectors Hub' online auction site: WARNING to autograph collectors

Recently I became suspicious of an online auction site called The Collectors Hub which can be viewed at liveauctioneers.com (and possibly elsewhere).  They list a large number of enticing and, apparently, high quality signed items which sometimes sell for low prices.  The auctions are very rapid AND there is evidence of shill bidding.

As a test, I bid on over 50 items in two of their recent auctions and then submitted images of most items to ACOA for review, with Star Wars signed photos going to SWAU for quick opinions.

EVERY SINGLE ITEM FAILED AUTHENTICATION.

I posted several items in this forum for complementary review, just to have a second opinion (without saying where the signatures originated) and the responses from members were overwhelmingly negative.

Of course I will not pay The Collectors Hub for any of these fake items!

They did not provide their names and they are very guarded about where to send payments.  Unfortunately I was unable to tease bank details out of them. They claim to be in the USA but there is evidence that they are not, with one person suggesting China.  From email contacts it was clear that English is not their first language.
