Serge is going to War...
...and he wants you to join him.
Serge, Malt Maniac and the man behind Whisky Fun has apparently been burned by thieves selling fake whisky on sites such as eBay.
I’ve been caught myself (at least four bottles I think within one year) and that really hit a nerve! That's why I decided to expose all forgeries (or even possible forgeries) on Whiskyfun’s main page and to simultaneously archive them on this central page.
Serge tells me:
We need to get rid of these people. It's not for the collectors but for the 'little guys' who think they can buy old bottles for relatively cheap and end up with owning USD 3.000 worth of... valueless fakes and may think that the whole whisky world is plain rotten.
But this isn't just a call to arms - Serge is cataloging every fake he comes across on Whisky Fun. So, go read up on Serge's campaign, get informed, and help stop putting money in the pockets of thieves and forgers!



Thanks for this, Kevin.
Just one small thing: alas, we're far from listing all fakes we spot, that would need an amazing amount of time and kilobytes! But yes, we try to give 'good' examples of all kinds of forgeries.
Thanks again
Serge
