A few years ago, somebody posted scam auctions for some of the more valuable things shown on my website -- a Hallicrafters SX-88, Sparton Bluebird, Scott 800B radio/tv/phono combo, etc.
They copied all of the photos and text from my web articles -- except the copyright notice shown on every page.
An guy in the UK recognized the Scott combo from my site and noticed that the seller -- supposedly located in Peru (!) -- listed a shipping cost for this mammoth set of about $200 to the UK.
eBay promptly cancelled the auctions, but I imagine the "seller" went on to create another fake identify and post more scam auctions :-(
