I bought a Botero reproduction painting from 1st-art-gallery and I was very excited when I received the package but my excitement melted into extreme disappointment when I opened it. The colors were all wrong and it lacked detail, it looked like it had been painted by a visually-impaired child. I phoned David the Israeli owner of 1st-art-gallery who was rude and aggressive. “What do you know about art’, he shouted, “I’ve been doing this business for more than ten years and the painting that we sent you is museum quality. You know nothing.” David is located in the Israeli desert far away from any famous art museum unless of course he is referring to the Fine Art Museum of the Golan Heights or the Art Museum of the Occupied West Bank. “Listen,” he screamed, ‘No refund. Understand? No refund for you” and then hung up on me.

Ripoffreport.com allows any person to post on their website, without verifying their claims.

Unfortunately one of our Chinese competitors is a mentally disturbed individual, who for many years has been trying without success to damage the reputation of our company.

It is easy to see that all the posts pertaining to our company were written by the same individual, all exhibiting the same childish language, ridiculous over the top claims, and the grammar of a ten years old.

His nonsense ranges from the company being owned by the Chinese Military, to stories of product recalls and toxicity, and posting fake reviews as if he was a real customer.

We have recently retained the services of an attorney in order to locate and prosecute this person but until then, please review the images attached to this response, showing that the images that this person is adding to his "complains" are fake images that can be found in numerous sources online. 

For real verified and unbiased reviews from real customer please visit:
