I agree 100%. I have seen at least 10 ads on ebay, audioshopper, and audioweb that fits GLERNO's description. The ads were verbatim copies of other ads and seem to originate in Barcelona. This person has already made off with several thousands of dollars. Right now his/her lack of knowledge of audio gear has been his undoing, but it is conceivable he learns more as he goes along or someone else with better knowledge may do the same thing. I think a seperate section where potential fraud would be a great idea.
How about a "possible auction fraud alert" section
Given the periodic spate of posts about potential fraudulent auctions, particularly on e-bay, how about a separate thread category for "possible frauds". While hopefully most Audiogoners are sensitive to the issue, a place where concerns could be more consistantly and visibly posted might be helpful rather than have the threads buried in other categories and fade from view as time passes.
