Ah yes - saw those. I figured that, as it seemed too good to be true, it
probably was.

Darn,
Wish I could have taken a screenshot. Yesterday, a large number of
auctions came onto the Aussie ebay site with a 1 day closing. High
priced items like the FA*300, mobile phones and playstations, and $55
starting price. None had a real photo, all were commercial product
shots. The auctions had nonsensical comments like "we are an authorized
Pentax dealer", although that was the only Pentax lens they were
offering. The "seller" had 18 feedbacks. The scam was so blatant you had
to laugh.
Soon, someone posted a warning not to buy...the auctions were placed
using a stolen account. And yet, there were still a few people bidding.
Alas, ebay pulled the auctions this afternoon.
Be careful out there.
