Hi all,

Just because this bloke's really starting to p1$$ me of, could you all go over to this listing on Ebay and let the guy know that it's fake?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180285475396

I'd appreciate it.

M.

Yeah......that's common now, never buy an LP or other "paraphernalia" off E-bay based on AUTOGRAPHS.

Well, I'm gonna go hang out in front of the liquor store until I get some intel on this sharpie crook. He will be forced to listen to the Ethel Merman disco album many times looped. After that....just don't ask. We gonna get mid-evil on mister sharpie.

Half way down on the page there is this message.

Yes it is a bad signature

But only semi frudulent - as the advert does not say it is signed by Mr O - it just advertises a copy of a Mike Oldfield Record which has been signed.  True!

There may even be a guy called Mike Oldfield who was paid to sign it.  It just doesnt happen to be the same guy who's picture appears on the front cover of the record.

Clever these crooks arn't they.

This has been going on a long time. Just do a search on Ebay for autographed LP's. The only winning move is to stay away from ebay.
