Newport Brushstrokes Fine Art Inc Reviews

  • Aug 24, 2022

This company should be called "SCAMSTROKES FINE ART." Do not buy art from this company. Do not try and sell art with this company.

My parents have been a victim of this company's scam. They were told all they had to was buy one more painting to add to their collection then the paintings could be sold as a set. There was even an agreement were if the deal fell through they would get their money back. The salesman, Charles Barr, even said he would personally reimburse my parents if the deal didn't go through.

A couple of months after the art was purchased, chaching...my parents get a call that their art sold. It involved 4 pieces and the sale prices was $137,825. They should be getting payment in a few weeks. This was back in May. We are now in late August and still no money.

We have finally gotten through to the Broker, Steve Smith, who cannot give us any answers on the timing of when my parents will ever see there money. He has even tried to distance himself from being affilliated with Newport Brushstrokes.

The so called company even went through the motions like there was a deal. Even made them pay tariff's for the shipping of the art to the new owners. At least 3 schedules for payment and shipping were made. All have been broken.

There was always an excuse that was never Newport's fault.....having trouble lining up shipping, the bank converted the currency into pounds instead of dollars, etc. They even tried to scam my parents out of an additional $5,000 in extra tariff's, but fortunately they didn't fall for that one.

Scamming people into buying art. That's quite a business. Too bad Charles Barr, Steve Smith, and company can't put their time and talents into something legitimate and positive. What a waste and fraud! Anyone else have any dealings with the company?
