JR,
The situation is that Rossi offered me an expensive group of
posters. We came to an agreed price & he asked me to wire him a
large payment (almost $10,000) up front. I did. He told me he had
received it & would ship the posters the next day. Several days
went by without a tracking # or any communication. I then found out
that he had continued to shop the group. He ended up getting a better
price & it took me a lot of grief & over a month to get most
(but not all) of my money back.
That's the story.
Best,
Sam
Sam has been around for a long time and has a good rep, so I'm not saying that is the case here -- I would guess he had a very good reason for posting a public warning -- but the problem I have with this kind of general, non-specific warning is that without the details how do we know what happened and if the complaint is genuine or if there is just a grudge or a feud being carried on? Without details, it is could be just rumor and innuendo... how can you know? For a public warning to be truly effective, it should contain the details. If nothing else, it warns others exactly what to look out for.-- JR

His name is Gian Maria Rossi. I won't bore anyone with all the details but he (and his father) are liars and not to be trusted. I will be happy to give anyone the specifics but if you hear from him, run the other way as fast as you can.I do want to thank the Italian and other dealer's who helped me deal with this mess. Some have had similarly unpleasant experiences with these people and I really appreciate their assistance.--Regards,
Sam Sarowitz
