Coaches Corner is unique in that they are doing it right in front of the FBI.

Scott - Where are they located?

btw - the images on the site appear to be authentic but the images have been stolen from other legit sites.
A major Beatles expert has contacted me and told me that the "cut" of the four Beatles for $2500 was actually a photo signed on the back that he had just sold and that the image was stolen from his web site.
Here is the e mail I received from the Beatles expert:
"his Beatles material is good.....don't know where he is getting the images aside from the one he lifted from my site.....and he is probably taking money and not sending anything out in return? Something is going on for sure."

My guess would be Eastern Europe or SE Asia, but I would bet my Beatles-signed original McCartney bass guitar that it is not in the United States or Western Europe. There is probably someone on this board who can figure out their location.

The scammers are safe to accept money from any of the credit card companies in the west, who will then refund the duped person's money and then be stuck with the results. At some point that will end - I'm surprised that fraud loophole is still open.

The worldwide nature of the internet is great, but it is also not-so-great.

I always assumed that these 'bad English' (e.g: province instead of provenance) websites were run out of SE Asia and Eastern Europe. But I guess given that the feds have ignored Coaches Corner which operates on our own soil, nothing should be surprising.

Perhaps the United States is actually the safest place for scammers to operate?

For autograph scammers it is.

Pretty close to where I live, building that corresponds to the phone number and area code seems to be a bar or music shop.

Edit: looks like the business that operates there is just a domain provider. Probably explains why that information popped up as being in Toronto.
