Just check out those stupid signatures.... who in the right mind would fall for this!

Maybe the person selling it asked Per and Marie to write the autographs with their feet?! ;-)

Reported... (I am so good at that) but I also spoke to the seller and he claims to have bought it in a shop with a COA and does not know if its real or not.
Also told the buyer and someone else had already emailed her as well so she has withdrawn her bid!

I contacted the previous bidder who has retracted the bid. They mentioned that someone else had contacted them as well and I thought at the time that it would be you Ally ;-) But now there is another bidder who I have also contacted. I have also reported the item to eBay. Nice to see that you’ve done the same Ally. I wonder whether they will take action. Let’s hope so. If anyone else wishes to report this item, or indeed any other, then they can go here:
http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/contact_us/_base/index.html
... and select “Problems with Other Members”, then on the next page select “Fraud concerns for buyers” then “Report a listing you think is fraudulent (you didn’t bid)” and type in the 10-digit number contained in the address of the item (in this case 7606015194). Even though it’s very clear to us that it’s naive to bid for this item, it’s nice to think that fans can help each other out on a matter like this, because anyone wanting Per and Marie’s signature must enjoy their music like we do. All the best, Rich ;-)

Great :-) The seller had zero feedback so it may well appear again under a different username. If it does so then maybe someone can mention it here and we can report it. Alternatively, if another suspicious item is listed then this thread could act as the place to mention it and we can try to stop other fans being ripped off. Just an idea. All the best, Rich ;-)

Oh please, who in the world would seriously believe these autographs are real?!
They are as fake as they can be!!
