It's BAAaack.  Again, beleive it or not.  I had reported both of the previous auctions, one was removed the other was not.  Unfortunately someone did bid on the other.  I am glad to see that I wasn't the only one that reported this.  I will be reporting this new one also.

Think I might put a huge bid on it and then retract on the last day, I know its a bit naughty but they should be stopped,  I've already been had on ebay and I don't like the fact they are trying to do this with a K2 carbon >:(

Is it worth emailing the bidders to let them know they are bidding on a scam?  I've gotten burnt personally on ebay and don't wish that on anyone...

Currently two listed again.  Both have been reported.  Unfortunately ebay appears to be slow about checking into this.  Only one has recieved a bid in all these, unfortunately that person was new to ebay apparently so wouldn't have known about spotting a scam.

how many more people are going to try and sell my shiny new frame!! ive sent the sellers messages so ill see what happens, i feel sorry for the guys that bid on them as they probably think theyre getting a bargain, which they would be if the items were legit. all i can say is im pleased to be part of this community cos if i wasnt i would have bid for these frames!!  im just pleased i bid and won the real one from a well respected bloke on here
an oz is for life , not just for xmas!

Lucky for you, your auction finished successfully before they started copying the heck out of it.

Unfortunately, there's not a ton you can do about it. I used to email the high bidders on auctions like this, but I found that there were so many of them that it was far too much of my time. Dishonest people suck.
