Is Jon Bon Jovi Ripping Off Fans by Selling Fake Autographs???

Ойын-сауық

Could Jon Bon Jovi be selling “fake” autographs, done by a machine, to his fans? In this investigative episode of Waste Some Time with Jason Green, we set out to prove that many people are receiving non-authentic autographs. If more than one person got the same exact signature, that’s a problem, right?
If you feel you received an Autopen signature contact bonjovi@umgstores.com and demand a refund!

    This kind of crap really makes me lose respect for the artists that do it. Especially when they use several different Autopens to try and fool you. It shows that they know that Auto pens are worthless, and are going an extra step to try and fool people. They know that they are scamming you, but don't care and taking that extra step to try and prevent you from knowing it. Some people may not realize that an auto pin is worthless, and they'll think " well, it's my signature, I might not have signed it with my own hand, but it's my signature" And not see the big deal, but when they go these extra steps to try and cover up it shows that they do understand the difference between real and autopen.

I offered to send them a self addressed stamped envelope with the autopenned art cards for them to send me legitimate ones. I want the CDs AND the real signatures I was told I'd receive. Hopefully we get some sort of resolution and not just a refund.

    Jason, thank you for your investigative journalism into the issue of suspect autographs. This topic rings close to home for me as I have a book that I spent over $800 on in 2020 from the UK about the complete history of the Monsters of Rock Tour. Both Rob Halford and Kirk Hammett posted on their social media that they signed each of the limited copies available. The signatures look legit on the translucent paper , but there is also a card that comes with the book of the other musicians that is either a copy of the signatures or done with an autopen. Thanks to your show I’m going to have to do my own research because this book is one of my prized possessions. Thanks again.

    I stopped listening to Bon Jovi a long time ago, after Sambora left I absolutely had no interest. I saw this album come out on release day, and saw that the vinyl was $47.99. I don't know if it was "signed" or not, but after I saw the price I laughed and said you have to be kidding me. Now after seeing the fake autograph drama, I can only laugh that Bon Jovi will "forever" be known as a fraud and a fake. Thank you for the video Jason, and for letting the fans know the truth. I truly feel sorry for those who got ripped off.

    Jason, I wish I could post a picture of it on here, but unfortunately you tube doesn't have that option. In 1991, I won an acoustic Ovation guitar signed by Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora at a big music store in Schenectady, NY called Drome Sound Music. It's not there anymore. I was on the radio talking and everything when I won it, as there were a lot of people there who put their name in the raffle. I still have the guitar, but I have posted it many times over the years and showed many autograph experts the guitar, and majority of them said it did not look legit. So I am not surprised at all. Excellent video, and thank you for covering this. I love your channel! 🤘🤘🤘

    I’m not an autograph seeker and I prefer not to bother musicians I like, but I live near the Rock Hall part of the year. Occasionally, I’ll stop in for a lecture/interview from a musician/producer and if they offer a signing, I may request an autograph on a record or book.

    Excellent video. The world of autographs is so full of snakes and con artists that the best defense is doing ur homework on autographs ur interested in. Ive been collecting for about 40 years and like most things if you get burned you learn ur do diligence as its happened to me. That being said one of our safe alternatives is to buy from the artists themselves when the opportunity arises. Ive done it myself and think were getting authentic autographs which mean so much to fans like you and i that it feels like such a rip-off and is so disappointment. Ozzy got in hot water of the same thing not to long ago. Things like this definitely need to be exposed especially when we are paying hard earned money to these artists and like you brought up its the principle of the whole situation. All my autographs are for my collection and have no intention of ever selling and its getting harder and harder to find authentic signatures. If you cant trust the artists who can ypu trust?

    Like you Jason, I have been collecting autographs for years and whenever I came across an auto of a well-known celeb and the price seems like a steal, it usually was not legit. I am not saying his signature is done with an auto pen and it is possible it could be real however Bon Jovi could sell his auto for more than $14.99 a shot. I am sure he could do a signing and easily charge at least $100.00-$200.00 per item.

I got a signed album off amazon and it is top corner and looks legit i also went hmv London to get a signed poster with the album and managed to get 2 posters signed in silver pen and are slightly different sigs and clearly silver pens used. I will say years ago i got him to sign a 10x8 photo of me with him and he seemed to dot it a bit but i do agree these look shifty

    Not saying it is OK or whatever but for me to buy things signed it really depends on how "big" the artist is, because the bigger they are I know at some point something is not getting signed, it might be stamped etc...which is why I generally never order signed stuff, for me that is more of a meet and greet thing. But if an artist like Jovi who is going to sell a bunch of copies I am hesitant on that because you figure they are going to sell at least 50,000 of these, do you think he is signing 50,000 copies? I have heard artists who do these live order shows its like a qvc type thing a few artists I know have done it, and they sell about 500 and get tired of signing it, so I stay away from "signed copies" coming from a website etc...artists always do a video showing themselves signing they rarely sign them all, Advice to people who want something signed from a huge artist, get it in person, not already signed but signed there if you are really wanting authentic stuff. If you want to chance it, I suggest sticking with an indie artist who signs maybe a 100 vinyls and sells them then you are getting the real thing by them

I rarely get something signed by mail preorder etc… again not really into the signature thing, I remember Oliva Rodrigo’s new album missing the first preorder batch and then missing another and then seeing them all over eBay for three times the amount before the album was even out so im skeptical on all these signed things. For me the few I have gotten signed from artists it was more because it was a vinyl release of something never on vinyl and it’s really got to be an indie artist I’m not doing popular artists or legend artists for this reason alone. Or it’s got to be a meet and greet and even then I’m not a big signature person some artists I have done vip for they give something I have had them say to me “do you want me to sign that” that’s how important it is to me I guess I prefer meeting an artist than the signing of something

    Yes I agree Bon Jovi sound is different without Richie but sounds like Richie doesn’t want to come back. Were people thinking they were going to make money on the autograph??!! Bon Jovi autographs lots of merchandise that he sells through his website all the time I’m thinking his signature is not worth much because it’s easily available. People bought the cd listened to it and now they want to send it back 😂 send it back without the autograph insert they will never know why do you want to keep a fake autograph?? We donated to the Bon Jovi fund maybe he’ll use the money to feed people at his Soul kitchens. Next time don’t buy a cd for an autograph buy it because you want to play it and listen to it. How many cds have we bought over the years before streaming that were trash??

    First I want to say I have yet to watch the whole video I'm only in at 26:22 but so far from what I'm seeing and hearing from both video and comments... yikes. Second with the assumption that Bon Jovi is using an autopen for these autographs that is just pure laziness, sure I can maybe see the argument of him having to have to sign so many and he signs his whole name so it takes a lot of time out of his day, however it's still no excuse to use an autopen. When he can easily just initial "JBJ" and call it a day. He doesn't have to write out Jon Bon Jovi every time, hell according to the definition of "artist" I'm an artist and I sign and date all of my art by hand, I draw nearly everyday and there are times when I'm signing my art if I don't like how it looks I'll redo it over and over which can take a few tries.
