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.

And more 'dangerous' items. I understand that matches should not be mailed except by surface shipping, with suitable packing and labelling. These 'fake-signed' packs are being offered for sale with standard international air freight shipping.

Offered at 39.95 start; potential 'accessory' prosecution at no extra charge.

Michael Jackson autograph set of 4 on new matchboxes.

Selling this set of 4 autographs of Michael Jackson (unused on matchboxes)

Matchboxes have some minimal and normal wear and tear.

2 of the 4 matchboxes are from the city of Solvang in California, which is located between Santa Barbara and Santa Ynez (where Neverland is).

Shipping only priority mail with tracking number and insurance.

Shipping over seas runs around $36.00 (that is the price the USPS charges, not me) and it will include priority mail, tracking number and insurance, depending the country it may take up to 2 weeks to ger delivered.

Thanks.

I'm glad that Erick does at least get some negative feedback. These comments are from his ebay sales in the last 6 months, and from within the last year.... (Very creepy that he appears to have a female avatar).

Beckett approved this forgery of Michael Jackson. This is a forgery from Erick McKay (the seller follows Erick so I started looking through his stuff)

If you look closely at all of the well done questionable Jacksons all over ebay they seem to be from the same hand.The "tell" is the heavy slant to the left of the signature.

Has anyone notified eBay of this individual? Not sure if it will help but if they are made aware by many individuals they might act.

Yes. They make money on his forgeries - eBay doesn't care.
