Some Criminals Are Just Too Stupid (eBay listing)

Look at this joker - he lists one of our coins on eBay, and uses our images WITH THE COPYRIGHT NOTICE ON IT.

Linkage

He's gotten quite a few bids, but I have a feeling the current high bidder will win! *wink*

Definitely add this joker to your blocked bidder and 'do not buy from' list.

    Yes, he has been reported. I suspect this auction will be short-lived.

    You should replace the image with something like ' this seller steals images from other dealers' or something like that.

    Upon further reflection, I'm inclined to think maybe someone had their account hijacked. The account was created in 2000, and is a U.S. account....yet, the listing appears to have been written by someone whose first language is not English.

    These people are amazing. If they only knew how tight knit the numismatic community is.

    It sounds from the other comments that the perp was able to "phish" the userID and password by getting a reply to a spoof email.
