[TR] TR4 with OD auction

Tue Nov 27 16:41:11 MST 2007

Scammers/hackers have found a way to overlay the current price area on a 
listing with their own graphic showing current price and a 'buy it now'. 
When you click on the 'buy it now' feature you get routed to the scammer who 
takes it from there.

BTW -- the listing is now gone.
