Joan, I remember being threatened via email for saying exactly that about a guy selling carvers of the San Francisco TKO's with coffee stains on the labels making out they were original acetates. Wasn't this shower (I don't think). The guy knew me but I didn't know who he was. When he finally plucked up the courage to front me up at a venue he strangely didn't want to go outside to discuss my views.
What's more I'd DJed at the same venue as the guy never knowing what he was up to.
The whole scene is full of oddballs trying to make a buck.
