I'm not sure what this seller in India is up to, but it looks fishy to me. He has listed few early model external horn Victors, some with the option to buy more than one. The descriptions look like crapophone descriptions, which are offered in other listings. But the photos and item titles are of actual Victor machines. Here is a Victor V."

A complete fraud who has any number of eBay accounts selling the same crap. Several other recent TMF threads fully document not only the scams but also eBay’s lack of response to member complaints (including two I filed myself).

Maybe if everyone on the forum would report the listing as fraudulent, eBay would pay attention.

I had a long talk with an eBay rep today, and reviewed all the various Indian seller ID's, etc. She is turning it over to their fraud department for "immediate action". Maybe it'll be me that gets suspended, haha.

It would be nice to see this fraud taken down. At a minimum it pollutes the search results.
