MATRIXSYNTH: Potential Scam

Potential Scam

I don't like being the bay police, but this one is a bit sneaky and I'd hate it if one of my readers got scammed and I didn't warn them. Note I have no idea if this is a scam, but if you are bidding on this, see the comments.

    Too much traffic. Here's the relevant post via AH. There were more including affirmation that the shots and description were indeed copied:
    "Hello people,

    Just a word of warning this auction is a scam:

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=016&sspagename=STRK%3AMEW
    A%3AIT&viewitem=&item=260088684106&rd=1&rd=1

    (item number: 260088684106)

    Ive emailed Ebay twice and they still havent removed the listing!!

    Its an item i sold about 6-12 months ago. The scammer has word for word
    copied 90% of my text and also used all my pictures...

    I find it unbelievable that Ebay hasnt pulled the auction, it has a day to
    run, 11 bids, high bid is over a £1000. Id hate to see someone get ripped
    off!

    Cheers,
    Rob."

    They yanked the auction and he's going to jail to have his bum raped.
    Maybe that was the plan all along and we were all duped into getting some dude laid.

    This is why I won't ship on Ebay. Too many scams and too many broken synths.
