Thieves
November 30, 2021

I purchased two pieces from them. That's okay. What I dont agree with is the fact that they then take two more lump sums out of my account. Totalling $176. I dont enjoy giving away free money so close to Christmas.

Custom jewelry

All the items I purchased were fakes! Not worth investing your time and money. CustomerCare/ service is non existing. No one ever answers the phone. Run away and don't look back

Don, t want to sound angry but it's my own stupidity that got me into this mess. I, m 1 of the lucky ones and I got refunded within 6 days from PayPal. Non existent proper tracking numbers or No proper people to contact through phones or any other way bar the imaginary site. I was standing next to a mate n we were bidding against each other so u can see on each others phones what's happening. Looks so real as well. Fake ******* odd comments is just laughable. I live in UK n I got mine cancelled in transit. Looked genuine but if something seems too good to be true it normally is. Left a comment on Facebook, I now can't comment any more, wonder y that is? Do not buy anything from this company jewellery wise or may b other stuff as well U will end up with cheap cheap goods.And I haven, t even got mine. I know I was duped, but I saw in time n realised I, d been a mug.And so will anyone else who buys owt. Laughing now, but to some poor souls who obviously r buying items intending to move them on, I, m sorry u will have a lot of agro trying to get money back n a a lot of short term anxiety n stress. This has been a learning curve 4 me, never again like this. Take Care folks, Stay Safe.An update on my items a week or so after the review was written. These items came through royal mail and were no signature, left on my doorstep.no paperwork with them, no receipt for goods, nothing. Shows they r worthless. I have had a look at items, gonna have a laugh next week and get them valued.

Worst site to buy from.
September 25, 2021

I bid on a necklace and a ring. Each was "supposed" to be worth around $1,000. Ya right. Went to the jewelers today and they were worth about $12.00 each. These people need to get out of business as they are screwing every one that is buying items. I am shocked they are still in business. ** DO NOT BUY A THING FROM THEM**

Cheapskate jewellery
August 30, 2021

Cheapskate, nothing more than the garbage sold at night market. Bought one bracelet which I think not even worth $20, paid more than $200. You can see from the way they packed the product, no need signatures, just like cheapskate small parcel

I won this; topaz very very dark, almost black. My jeweler assured me that this was NOT worth 1600. 00; more like 100.00. With that being said, I will NEVER USE this site AGAIN.

Crap
August 10, 2021

2 rings and a watch.
Neither ring was worth more than$10 and I paid an outrageous price.
The watch was cheap enough, but then again they're only $30 to buy from the maker.
My fake diamond ring looks like it came out of a gumball machine. Not to mention shipping. Never again.

POSTAGE SCAM
July 14, 2021

I could not believe the crap that was sent to me as $1000's of dollars worth of jewelry! What a joke. And on top of that I had to pay to have each one returned! I paid for the return at $4.15 and then I had 8 more to return and I thought I am not paying another $4.15 (on top of them charging me $12.95 per item that was NOT refunded on return) so I boxed them all together in two of their boxes taped together for $4.90. So, keep in mind when ordering this tuff that they are charging $12.95 per item to ship to you but you do NOT GET THAT BACK! So in returning 8 items I have lost over $150 in postage! And I have nothing! DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS SITE, IT IS A SCAM ROYALE! I am so disappointed in myself for falling for this! 11

The advertised 4.18 CTTW 14K orange topaz earrings that I paid $185 arrived quickly but looks like a $20-custom plastic jewelry. There was no luster even when I took a picture with lots of lights. Topaz stones are supposed to be good reflector of light. My nail polish with a plastic diamond gem reflects more lights than the cheap-looking centerpiece of this pair of earrings. The picture of what PoliceAuctions.com advertised and the picture of what I received are both attached for comparison. The stem of the earrings are also short and too thin and the pushback lock is too small that makes it hard to handle between my thumb and index fingers, thus, it's time consuming to put the lock. I am very disappointed with this purchase. I bought it to give to my mom as a gift, but now I don't think I should give it to her because she will have a hard time to put it on, aside from it looks like a cheap costume jewelry. Unfortunately, I have an overseas flight and have no time to deal with return process. Lesson learned.

Ripped off
May 18, 2021

Bought a few items from this so called Police Auctions, mostly mass produced junk. I was banned from bidding only after I won the item then they refused my credit card, rang my bank, plenty of funds. They owe me for 3 items and have complained to no avail, this goes back as far as March. The items in question have not left the USA, this is a rip off site and needs shutting down, I guess I will never see the 3 items I paid for, an expensive lesson, I just want to warn others not to have any dealings with these crooks. I cannot stress this enough, BEWARE

I bid on a diamond Emerald necklace, which had 3 chains with several Emeralds surrounded by diamonds when my order arrived it was a necklace with only 1 tiny emerald with diamonds it looked like costume jewelry so I took it to a jewelry store the owner who was a gemologist he looked at it and said it s1 step above costume jewelry and it's the lowest quality emeralds and diamonds he said it's not worth the 100.00 I paid for it, I returned it hopefully I will get a refund.

Hello to all of you. There is nothing worse than people who think that can scam and mislead people and still get away with it. I won a bracelet in policeauctions.com that turned out to be fake so i did not proceed to buy it. But other people have already fallen for that and as I saw are still falling. I contacted them on both facebook and instagram and they blocked me pretty quickly. I am asking every single person who sees this to do something and stop them. Even the name is misleading and illegal. I just dont know wether to report them directly in the FBI web. Thank you and please give it some time

I was very disappointed in the quality of the jewelry it's differently low end costume jewelry! Lesson learned the company will not do a return it's not in a status return! It would of been cheaper to buy a box of Cracker Jack's! Don't waste your money on this scam! Had the the set valued at$1900. 00 what a joke!
