I wish to bring to everyone's attention the fact that a seller is offering my Allach Luftwaffe Officer on Ebay, without my permission. He's using my photographs and I have no idea who this person is. The price is ridiculous so I don't expect anyone to bid on it, but please do not fall for any "post-auction sales offers" from this seller. Link To Auction Thanks to Dennis Porrell for noticing this.

Kind regards Craig. This SCAM artist, Louie, should be in the pokey. I asked him this question just now: $16,995.00...? hi, Can you please post a photo of the statue with a current newspaper in the frame. Thanks, excaliburmetalworx@hotmail.com I guess they could Photoshop it? I'm a pain occasionally..? 'hit's gettin' DEEP!

Maybe it's Three Finger Louie, who use to be active on this site. Fits the character.

I just spoke to the "seller" on the phone, and he claimed that he was "new to all of this selling on the internet" stuff, and was going to buy it yesterday from me to resell on Ebay. All very strange, and amateurishly absurd. I asked him to end the auction.

For those who don't know this. There's a tab about halfway down the first page of an auction clear on the right labeled "Report Item". Click on this and the Ebay thought police or whatever they're called this month will get right to work. They will make sure that anything you post that's objectionable to anyone anti-gun,jewish,gay,transgender,or anyone who thinks the collecting of 3rd Reich memorbilia is only done by sick individuals etc. will be immediately cancelled as long as it isn't pornographic. Pornography is ok since it generates big bucks for Ebay. BTW: This operation could care less if you report an item as fake. If you don't believe this try it the next time someone puts up a fake dagger. You can report it as bad all day long and you will be ignored. Jim

I think you're right Stephane, Finger Louie was also from Texas and a well known con artist that used to be very active on GDC until his real intentions were discovered. A very pathetic person. http://daggers.infopop.cc/eve/...profile&u=3720034183

Received an email from the lister. Apologizes for not posting photos of the back. Said he was in Las Vegas until Sunday, but would gladly answer any questions. Craig must have gotten him on his cell phone, or he was lying about being out of town. Vigilance and communication really pays with these cheats.

Yep, still up. My last email to unlucky ask if he was in "possession" of the work. No response as of yet...

He is out of California. His number is in the 916 area code, but the sale says "Texas" as the location.

I see the hack auction has now been ended. Is it just me or can others not access Craig's site? I have tried different approaches with no success. I was trying to buy a (small) item from his site. I really hope these things are not connected.

I noticed last night that Craig's site was down, and it still is as of 30 seconds ago.

Sorry - site was down this AM for about 2 hours for routine maintenance (we did it in the "dark hours" California time, but that was "prime viewing" time on the East Coast).
