Fraudulent E-mails

Please note that Christie's never sends e-mails asking you to reply with your account or other personal information.

E-mail fraud is a common tool of identity thieves. An increasingly common fraudulent activity, called "phishing", uses official-looking e-mails to deceive consumers into disclosing their personal information. The e-mail often directs the recipient to a look-alike Website of a legitimate business, tricking consumers into believing they are responding to a valid request. Other fraudulent e-mails entice users to make a purchase and are designed primarily to obtain credit card or bank account information. Christie's never sends e-mails asking you to reply with your account or other personal information.

To avoid getting caught in any of these fraudulent activities, please remember to:

• Keep your login and password secret
  
  
• Change your password periodically
  
  
• Never give out your personal and account information by e-mail or telephone, unless you initiated the contact

Fraudulent Companies

It has come to the attention of international auction business, Christie's (www.christies.com), that there are companies not associated with nor authorized by Christie’s, who are misleading the public into thinking they are part of Christie's by using our company brand names and trademarks "Christie's" and "佳士得". Such unauthorized companies include those operating under the following names: 佳士德, 香港佳士德藝術品拍賣有限公司, 香港佳士德国际艺术品拍卖有限公司,  Jia Shi De, Chritrs, H.K. Chritrs International Arts Auction Ltd. and Chritrs Arts Auction Ltd.

Christie's is extremely concerned that these companies are causing confusion in the marketplace, and wishes to clarify that they are not related to Christie's in any way. Their websites, images published on these websites, and events are also not related to Christie's.
