robert stewart Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Yes, he's back. Two entries on Ebay today...both for the same fake concertina auction, same pirated text as always. Look for "Wheatstone Lachenal English Concertina". People are actually bidding! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Levine Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Not to be confused with The Phantom Button, who is a well-respected Anglo concertina player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JenStClair Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Is this the “pawn shop” who has a few listings up? I reported them all to eBay last night because they had a photo that said they would only sell for a BIN amount outside of eBay, which is against the rules. But they are still up this morning.

robert stewart Posted January 23, 2021 Author Share Posted January 23, 2021 yes I believe it is. several fine looking (totally unavailable and owned elsewhere) musical instruments in fake auctions. RJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken_Coles Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 This spammer is all over - a bunch of similar auctions appear for several orchestral instruments I follow (relics of my ancient musical past). Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LateToTheGame Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 It looks like they've been taken down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert stewart Posted January 24, 2021 Author Share Posted January 24, 2021 It seems to me that the FBI could catch this fraudulent person by "following the money". But perhaps he/she is considered small fry. I found a substantial Ebay site yesterday evening, including the now famous full set of Uilleann pipes in B, and many other instruments. No concertinas. He should be squeezed until he bellows, until nothing is left but a reedy squeak. Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JenStClair Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 (edited) They’re back! Different seller. This is what happens when scammers hack into seller accounts, I imagine. they have 4500+ listings, and before now, it looks like this seller mostly sold DVDs.
