So there was this thread this AM posted by a brand new "member" for a high-end item as his/her first post. Post was fraught with grammatical and spelling errors. OP objected to being called out as a Scammer by a number of those of us who replied to OP's post. Post reported to Fred. A little bit of web searching, coupled with the little bit of feedback data OP of the thread included, produced information on the person alleged to be the seller which in turn led to the reasonable conclusion of what was more likely than not a scammed eBay account. Post disappeared forthwith.

Fred has struck again

One piece of data I forgot to add in my initial post is this: for someone who appeared to be wanting to sell expeditiously the item in question (a 5DMkIII), and to do that w/o paying eBay fees, it was surprising to learn that the camera was not listed on DPI, not on POTN, and not on DPreview. One would think that if speed of sale is important, and if the seller is knowledgeable about photography, that Seller would list the item on more than FM. Just sayin'.....

Excellent work, Fred
