JK slams signature forgers

(Sunday Mirror Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge) AUTHOR JK Rowling has again hit out at online auction house eBay selling Harry Potter books with her fake signature.

Writing on her website, the Harry Potter creator said: "Yes, we've been here before, but having strolled over to eBay (come on, I've got to have a break sometimes) I note that the forgers aren't getting any better at my signature.

"Frankly, some of them are barely trying...Please bear in mind that these 'certificates of authenticity' are not worth the paper they are written on."

Last year Edinburgh-based JK twice warned her fans to watch out for being conned on eBay, following the release of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.

eBay has maintained: "it is the responsibility of the copyright owner to report any listings that violate their rights."
