Amy,

Who did you call? The listing is gone, now the "seller" is listed as having no items for sale...

Amy, you da man!

I just sent him a nice note asking him why he's using my pics and descriptions. Hmm.

WTG... I hate scammers

Sorry if any of this is old news to the folks here... it just amuses me to no end!

Ever see the anti-419 sites on the internet? Among the funniest things you'll ever read.

http://www.419eater.com/ (This one trends toward obscene, forewarned.)

419 is technically an advance-fee fraud:

But the methods of the 419ers are often used by people fraudulently buying and selling stuff on ebay. The most common being "I'm buying them for my sister on Mission in Nigeria and I'll send you an overpayment, please return the difference..."

I see this ALL the time on home theater stuff.

Several hundred three-day auctions posted within three minutes, all for big-ticket (mostly electronic) items, from a seller whose previous sales were ALL figurines and model cars?

What tipped you off? [:P] [:P] [:P]

I'll report this, see how fast it disappears.
