Needs reporting. The clue is in the user name too

I've just rung the wedding dress shop and they aren't selling a fastrac this week.

Why do they make them so obvious?

So we don't spot the good ones?

we sell a lot of fastracs and telihanders on ebay and we also get a lot of persons faking our addverts but have to say we have a good network of ebayers watching out for use and as soon as they see fake one of our advert they let use know and we report it to ebay

I have reported it.
Always report obvious frauds. It takes 20 seconds and may save someone thousands!

 

[KennyO]

I reported it too.

 

[Grassman]

I reported it too.

I see it's still on with numerous bids listed.
