I believe the above auction to be fraudulent for several reasons.
-Seller has no transaction history
-Seller joined Ebay the day the auction started
-Seller wants Western Union payment only
-Seller is using MY picture to advertise the unit
-Seller has claimed in a email to a purchaser to be ME (Lynn Fuston)
-Seller has hotmail address
-Short (3-day) auction
-No reserve or starting bid listed on a $9000 piece of gear
-The serial number advertised does not exist
EveAnna Manley concurs that it appears to be totally fraudulent. I have contacted ebay about having it pulled.

EveAnna,
Any idea why your line gets all this attention? I feel for you. It's a real drag to have to chase this stuff down.
Odd thing is, this is kind of like offering to sell a Picasso. Sales of these kinds of items attracts attention. It's not like the pro community is so large this kind of thing can get by unnoticed. They'd do better running a scam pretending to sell low priced stuff.

No different from any other line. Hi-end audio and exotic cars are being raped. Professional audio/Manley, gets attention. They (Manley) would like it no other way...but positive attention. Both of which is attention nevertheless.
Audio asylum has seen 50K in bad checks presented with less than 10 attempts.

This happens in all classes, all situations. It is most unfortunant. It will never stop. Either theives or popularity contests. It is all the same. Injustace, bias and strife.
"Make someone hurt so you don't have to" seems to be a trend.
Little do they know, it hurts us all, period.

Another thing that's amazing is the auction is still active on Ebay (as per 03:30 EST Sept 8th) - you'd think it'd be in Ebay's interest to pull it asap.
