Ukrainians now hijacking U.S. eBay accounts
Item 8425121393 or http://cgi.ebay.com/12-Roubles-1832-...c mdZViewItem on eBay, an 1832 platinum 12 roubles, is being sold through a hijacked U.S. account. Usually the Ukrainians use an old eBay account from Ukraine but perhaps they are running short of such material and have switched to using U.S. accounts. Oddly enough, the U.S. account uses standard Ukrainian terminolgy for its name. The original Gelos (Moscow) auction photo may be viewed he http://numizmat.gelos.ru/32colnum/nu...ages/18322.jpg It was estimated at $18,000 to $20,000 but did not sell. The "U.S." seller raised the condition from VF to Proof. There are already several bids, now over $1,000, from buyers not realizing that all the winner will likely get is a nice object lesson in being swindled. The other two items from this seller also have photos stolen from the same Gelos auction, of March 18, 2006. The very rare 1859 rouble also had its grade raised; perhaps "Gradeflation" has hit the Ukrainians as well. eBay has been notified and it will be interesting to see what happens. RWJ |
