I check my email and see a question about one of my auctions ending tonite:
Q: Please confirm me if this is a same item with the item listed on http://www.rl-bayisapi.go.ro/item9722396491.html
I check My Messages on the My Ebay page and it's there too, so it did come via Ebay from a registered user. When I went to that link, to see what I expected was someone who stole my image, I see a spoofed Ebay sign-in page.
Nice try! I checked the userid from which the Question came, and it looks like a legit user with coin bids. Must be a hijacked acct.

It is a scam. I reported it, and the user, sbmanne. These guys are nonstop trying to rip us off. I answered the question, and pointed out that it was a scam in my answer. The user may have had his/her information stolen, and the theif is just logging in and asking questions, and the actual person whose ID it is may not even know that their ID is being used fraudulently. My item is a 01-o morgan ms66 pcgs listed here:
