Where can/do we report "fake autograph" sellers?

Yes it was Steve. He was a piece of work.

Are you aware he moved on to the comic book hobby? He was never charged, but there is a very long line of customers who claim he is a "paper mechanic" who sold (undisclosed) restored high grade comics.

I had heard stories about that.

The problem with law enforcement regarding crimes of forgery over the internet is jurisdiction. That is why no local police departments would handle forgery crimes which transpired over the internet. The Feds are the only law enforcement that will handle crimes when internet is involved, with little exceptions.
In regards to auction houses, and who do you charge, good luck. Intent is what you have to prove when charging anyone for any crime. If you have knowledge that they knew an item was forged or faked, then you got them, otherwise, they get away with the crime, but consistant complaints about fakes and forgeries at certain auction houses or dealers can also build an investigation. It may take longer, but these crooks can be eliminated.
