Fraud Jem777VBK Auction - Jemsite Pics!

I sent the seller an email, and stated the fact that the pics in his auction were lifted from jemsite. I asked if he had any actual pics of the guitar that is up for auction. I figured either the seller didn't have a digital camera, or this could be a scam auction.

Here is the reply I received:

"dear buyer,
I'll give you the others pic when you have wire the payment to my bank account.

thanks"

Sheesh! - I wasn't even bidding.

The seller is registered as being from Canada, has '0' feedback, and uses the same broken English as in the reply emails from other threads listed in this topic area. He even has a shill bidder, boosting the selling price.

I've already emailed the bidders. Stay alert, as **** is crawling with scams lately.

I just received an email from one of the lower bidders. This was his reply to my mail alerting him to the scam:

"Cool.
Now there are 2 of us sending out warnings.
I went so far as to check out his contact info.
The folks in Ontario never heard of Ibanez.
The dude tried to sell to me directly.
Gave me his phone number.
I backtraced it...to Indonesia.
I've called the FBI.
*sight*
and I missed out on a 777vbk auction 3 weeks ago.
one bid in the last 20 seconds and it went for 700.
It's my dream guitar."
