Steve; Thanks to my good friends on the CR, Bob and Restoration lists, I found out my ad was copied up to three times. I posted the letter outing these flase auctions to the other lists, and another list member posted a letter about this to http://www.oldroads.com or Menotomy Bike. I've also sent a second notice to Ebay through thier help section, letting them know about the second and the false ads.
I did a bit of research on foreign Ebays and found up to three false ads listed by two different morons posted simultaniously with my ad. Something tells me this is a practical joke, but I'm not sure. Of about ten countries I researched, I only found the false ads not listed on American and U.K. Ebay.
Best regards, Peter Naiman Glendale, WI
