The ALL CAPS title is the first tip-off that garbage is on the horizon.

same happens in the world of antique clocks. In fact I had to write two guides for my website on how to spot modern fakes coming in from India. Every single clock has the same exact serial number and the word London on its back plate which is meaningless to anyone but a Indian faker guy. That said I've had folk drive 100's of miles for me to repair their clocks only to have me tell them they brought a clock likely made within the past couple of months in India. So far the ultimate winner is a guy who paid £10,000GBP for a clock worth £50 just because it had the words 'White Star Line' on the dial. I have also seen couples who spent their savings on these clocks for £500GBP+ The real worry is the fakes are getting better and it's guides like mine that these fakers are learning their mistakes from.
