Would you believe this thing is on EBay again? I sent him the following Email:

Numbnuts,
If you are going to run a scam, at least know something about the product. Alembics are all customs...you would be hard pressed to find 2 that look alike. I don't even know the guy who owns this bass, but I do know the bass...you don't have it. They are hiring at McDonalds.

It's back up on US ebay, too -- I won't bother posting a link, for I'm reporting it now. Should be gone soon.

Back again today, and already reported.

This guy just won't stop ....

And back even again today with someone else's name. This crap has got to stop NOW.

Here is a copy of the message I sent to Ebay:

Message: Someone has hijacked and is scamming this same listing again, and again, and again. This is at least the fifth time this same instrument has shown up using different people's identities. This is ruining their reputation and yours. Our owners club keeps notifying you of the fraud and it still continues. It really hurts legimitate users of your website. This must STOP please. I have lost all trust and confidence in Ebay. JW

Fraud like this will continue until people stop falling for phishing emails.
eBay has no idea that a new auction is coming from a hijacked account until someone reports it.
