STOLEN pictures, 100% SCAM
This user stole pictures... FROM ME! Started a watch at a low amount without reserve, someone will get scammed out of their money!
Listing in question: http://cgi.ebay.com/Romain-Jerome-TI...lenotsupported My listing where the description AND pictures were stolen from (I hope this is not a violation of TRF rules, if so, please let me know): http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...e=STRK:MESE:IT The scammer's user ID on ebay is 'was_eem_akram' What a blatant scam!

Greg, unbelievable!! It's still out there.
I have seen it with a few that I have posted also. I take between 35 - 40 shots and sometimes more per listing to get a handful of good ones and they end being stolen for other listings. I guess it's a backwards compliment!! |

I actually emailed the person who asked that question - told him it was a scam.

Greg, you must have been a little surprised when you saw those pictures.....
No problem showing the source which happens to be your auction. I would like to lend a hand (aka nudge) with this one. |

UPDATE: been contacted by scammer... ahem... seller
Just a s abackground, I contacted the seller asking him why he is stealing my photos (literally, a 1-liner asking just that, much less than I actually WANTED to say to the bastid). Here is his reply:
Dear ************, Hi,sorry but the pictures i got were of the internet of a website. please let me use these pictures for my auction as i really need to get a sale on this item. i am awaiting for a reply from you. many thanks - was_eem_akram

Well - it's my old watermark (changed user ID's), so maybe he thought I was "out of business". Farkin irrelevant, TAKE YOUR OWN PICS!

Makes no sense he can email photos but won't post them.....
unless he is selling an obvious fake or selling 'air'. Either way the can is calling. |

Now it has escalated
In addition to the "was_eem_akram" scammer discussed here, there are two other ebay user ID's, all are related:
1)'bltz23374' - clicked 'buy it now' on my item, the actual watch, seconds after the scumbag 'a' relisted his item, to make mine disappear off ebay (of course, I relsited) 2)'mobile.city' - keeps fishing for other pictures of this watch, one without watermark. Has emailed me several times asking for those. Strangely enough - ALL three are in Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, UK. Real names are: Mahroof Ussain, Wasim Akran, and Javid Khan. Something tells me they know each other. What am I supposed to do?

For giggles, I sent this guy an e-mail from eBay asking what his bottom price is for this item. I also asked him to e-mail me some pics.
