Galerie Jen-Art Fake Art-refusal to refund money Ville Mont-Royal Quebec

I would like to let you know that we were swindled also. Steve Orchard and Harold Sindelle swindled us. But yesterday, my husband received a call from Peter McMahon trying to get us to buy a painting from him then he would sell ours. So I wanted to let you know he is at it again. But we informed him that we knew all about him and his game was up.

Disgruntled ex-employee of Jen-Art operating as Galerie Belleneige out of his personal home and has been disrupting legitimate transactions in the art market.

After being employed at Galerie Jen-Art for less than 60 days, PETER MCMAHON and his non-incorporated company named Galerie Belleneige have been deliberately contacting clients of our firm in an attempt to create havoc by persuading them to cancel transactions that PETER MCMAHON made during his employ at Jen-Art. In an attempt to sell our clients non-reputable art through his new "gallery." PETER MCMAHON disregarded all rules of the industry by acting in a non-professional, abusive, and forceful manner, causing clients to question the authenticity of art purchased through our firm.

Part of the reason PETER MCMAHON was terminated in January 2009 was due to the fact that we had received some disturbing information concerning his past business dealings. In addition to this, all employees at Jen-Art witnessed his rude, manipulating, and threatening manner with clients. Many clients have since asked us to handle artwork purchased through other galleries and have voiced concerns over PETER MCMAHON's aggresive attempts to contact them at their work as well as at their homes at inappropriate times of the evening. These clients have asked for our help in having PETER MCMAHON's attempts to reach them quashed, even though they live in many different states.

The following information is public knowledge and is merely a sampling of PETER MCMAHON's past business dealings:

Here are some of the telemarketing operations that have been investigated and what has happened to them:

On Sept. 18, 1996, Peter McMahon of Chateauguay, Quebec, pleaded guilty to a charge of defrauding the public of money totaling more than $5,000. Authorities said the company misled victims over the telephone into believing they had won a valuable prize. That is contrary to Section 380(a) of the Criminal Code of Canada.

McMahon was arrested April 26, 1995, by the Ontario Provincial Police and Royal Canadian Mounted Police in the Montreal area, where he was operating telemarketing rooms.

He'll be sentenced Nov. 29. Authorities will seek full restitution from the following companies, known to have been owned or operated by Peter McMahon:

P&M National Wholesalers, 2272 St. Antoine West, Montreal, Province of Quebec, operated from October 1992 to December 1993; Tele-Nova Graphics, 823 Decarie Blvd., Montreal,
operated from October 1993 to December 1994; Nova Tron National Gift House, Khanata Plaza, Route 138, Kahnawake, operated from February 1994 to October 1994.

On Oct. 21, Darrel Alan Dorsey of Kingston, Ontario pleaded guilty to the same charges as McMahon.
