Count yourself lucky if you have loophole to not pay cause the art is more than likely not real and not want you expected or want was promised and sold to you.
Funny how they go out of their way to make contact if you owe them a penny yet try and get some satisfaction from them in teh form of a refund and it falls on deaf ears!
I say don't pay and ship back whatever bogus art they sent you.
Then count your blessings that you escaped their clutches.
Google park west rip off, scam, and see all the cases on fine art registry.
Investigate the class action suit filed in regard to their corrupt business practices and selling fraudulent art.
You are lucky!
Glad to hear you were able to get your money back through AMEX.You are fortunate since it takes in most cases greater than 60 days to get the art from them and investigate the validity of what was said and sold to you as fact, often times it is too late for credit card comapnies to do a charge back.
That seems to be part of teh MO of PArk west scam to outwait the time period for refunds ..even of their new policy for 40 days! What a joke!
They have refunded others in same situation.
IN any other contract sale you have 3 days to rescind or change your mind.
I actually was told by one of their autioneers that everyone still does have the same 3 day period ( at least) because they have a presence in the USA and must conform to uSA laws.
So what progress have you made in resolving this? Did PW make you sign a confidentiality agreement?
Basically a gag order which is really not enforeable cause the info is already out here, everywhere!
Regrading class action suits and investigations, it does appear as though progress is being made in certifying the suit.
That is good news indeed.
So if you have not as yet joined the class action suit, google it and join!
