FRAUD SELLER NOTICE, BEWARED!!!

!!!Attention bidders!!! Recently, some other sellers pretended to be ME, and sending e-mail to provide a “direct sale” with a very low price. As a honest and responsible seller, I will not make such an offer before the auction end, and I'll only make active contact to you unless some unusual events happen. My auction ID is “edkin”, and will not change until I'm in business! As if you have received any e-mail from other account ID, please just IGNORE it!!! Please DO NOT PAY to the address provided in those e-mails, or you're not covered by ebay or paypal or anything at all! Shame to those unlawful sellers!

Here is what I received in my email account, and it's lucky that the bidder did try to confirm with the seller!
