This is the latest messaging I have had with the seller on eBay
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Dear colmado_naranja,
I see the auction has been pulled (again), also I got a bunch of warnings that you might be trying to get my account info etc.
I sure hope you are legit or at least not trying to cause harm
If you can tell me anything about what is going on I'd appreciate it
____________ >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Dear ____
Hi. Don't worry, I'm not a scammer. You can check with other eBayers that have made posts all over the internet in support of me and that eBay is now to the point that they will say anything to cancel my auctions.
There will be no more auctions for Obama?s b.c., but this may interest you. Ebay item # 160345795373. ?Autographed photo of Smith and Andylenny abroad.?
Again you?ll have to search by listing number for the first several hours until the title becomes searchable.
I'm turning the b.c. over to WorldNetDaily and Joseph Farah. Thanks for your support. You are appreciated.
- colmado_naranja

I had recieved this from eBay earlier:
Hello ______________
Our records show that you recently received an email from colmado_naranja through the Ask Seller a Question or Contact eBay Member features. This email may be fraudulent and an attempt to do one of the following:
- Obtain your eBay password - Gain access to your eBay account - Use your eBay account for fraudulent activity - Set up an outside-of-eBay transaction which may be fraudulent
This kind of email is often called a "phish" or "phishing attempt," and the people who send them are known as "phishers." Phishers use these methods to try to get your personal information, such as user names, passwords and credit card details. Because the emails may sometimes come through the eBay system, the phisher may seem to be trustworthy and have a good reason to contact you.
***Important - Protect Your Personal Information*** - Don't reply to the sender either through the eBay system or your personal email account.
- Don't open any links or cut and paste any Web addresses into your browser from the phishing email.
- If you think you may have entered personal information such as your password, Social Security Number, or credit card information into a website based on a request from a phishing email, you need to act *immediately* to protect yourself from identity theft. For detailed instructions about the steps to take, please go to:
http://pages.ebay.com/help/account/protecting-identity-theft.html
***What to Do If You've Already Sent an Item or Payment*** If you've already sent payment to or shipped an item to a person who asked that you take the transaction outside of eBay, we recommend you take the following steps:
1. Contact the payment service that you used to make the purchase. If you paid by credit card, most card issuers provide consumer protection in online fraud cases.
2. Please complete the "Item Bought Outside of eBay" form or the "Item Sold Outside of eBay" form. To find these forms, please go to:
http://pages.ebay.com/help/tp/isgw-fraud-non-ebay.html
Click the "Item Bought Outside of eBay form" or the "Item Sold Outside of eBay form" link. Enter your information in the page that follows, and then click the "Submit" button. The information you provide will enable us to work more effectively with law enforcement in case an investigation occurs.
3. If you were the seller and shipped the item to a fraudulent buyer, contact the shipping carrier that you used. That company may be able to assist you further. If you sent the item through the U.S. Postal Service, file a mail fraud claim. To do so, please visit:
http://www.usps.com/postalinspectors/fraud/
4. Contact the local law enforcement where you sent the payment or item. The authorities where the seller or the buyer lives might be able to provide additional assistance. To find local law enforcement, go to:
http://www.usacops.com/
***Additional Account Safety Tips*** To protect your email and your eBay account, we recommend that you always follow these safety tips:
- Do *not* respond to the sender either through the eBay system or your email account. An offer to buy or sell an item outside of eBay is against eBay policies, might be fraudulent, and will not be covered by eBay protection programs.
- If you received what appears to be a Second Chance Offer for an item that you recently bid on, check My Messages to make sure the offer is legitimate. Second Chance Offers appear in My Messages with a blue background and a subject stating, "eBay Second Chance Offer for Item...."
- If you receive a Second Chance Offer directly in your personal email and it is not in My Messages, it is not a legitimate offer.
- If a Second Chance Offer appears in My Messages with a subject line of "Message from eBay Member," it is not a legitimate offer. Before responding to a Second Chance Offer, make sure it contains both the blue background in My Messages and the subject line of "eBay Second Chance Offer for Item?"
- Never pay for an item you've bought on eBay by using instant cash or wire transfer services such as Western Union or MoneyGram. These payment methods are unsafe on eBay. It's against the eBay Accepted Payments policy for a seller to request payment using these methods. For more information about payments that are accepted on eBay, please go to:
http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/accepted-payments-policy.html
Sincerely,
eBay Trust & Safety team
I was thinking his secret project was to buy the Rams, not this. But who knows. Maybe the whole thing is by crafty right wingers to get the thing more exposure and make Obama flop sweat.
Very bizarre terms. You need to pledge 1K to bid and send the seller to Mombasa, if he produces the buyer pays up. The current bid is over $100,000.00. There are only 2 bidders with no competition, bidding sky high.
And if Farrah already has something, Is the hospital selling duplicate copies to celebrate the native son?

They seller said (in the article) — I’m turning the b.c. over to WorldNetDaily and Joseph Farah. Thanks for your support. You are appreciated.

Well, it’s *about time* — I’ve been recommending this elsewhere (on other threads)...
Finally, we’ll get some legitimate action out of this thing and we’ll find out what the results of authenticating it will be... this is a good move — *finally*...
That picture at $100 or more is worth the price of admission. A great memento! Players in a historical first. colmado_naranja mentioned Andylenny, with the ‘96? BMW? in one of her first auctions of the BC.
(BTW, Baby Blue, right?)
This guy is playing with the wrong crowd if this is real. His ass will be grass by morning.
Here's my la la la totally fake fantasy about this. Rush obtains Zero's b.c. on ebay and gets the impostor Commie thrown out of the WH in utter disgrace. Then everything that Zero has signed is deemed null and void. Porkulus is scrapped and crap and tax, ZeroCare, card check, and immigration reform are all DOA....Ha..Ha..Ha"
DUmmies will read the above and won't understand that I'm joking around.
This whole ebay drama is a very entertaining, but I concur that it is most likely a Leftist scheme to make anyone who asks about the BC look like a lunatic...
You said — Sounds like that Korrir guy from API again.
—
Except that we’ll hear from WorldNetDaily either confirming this or not confirming it. And that will tell the story.
It could very well be like chief editor Korir and API (African Press International) as he was scamming everyone and said he was giving it to Fox News (which never turned out that way ... LOL...). And later the ole chief editor said he was going to sue Fox News for not releasing the information prior to the election like they were supposed to... :-)
However, in this case, we’ll hear relatively quickly from WorldNetDaily whether they have it or not.
He should upload it to another site. Youtube is on the lookout for it. I bet the DUmmies are peeing their pants over this.
“Poor little baby Barry didnt know his white trash mama lied to him.”
**********************
That bucket won’t hold water...too many holes. If he didn’t know that his “long form BC” was fake he would have released it a long time ago. He has proven his guilt by releasing a “fake” BC.
Nancy Pelosi will go down with him on this one....isn’t she the one that certified him to run on the democratic ticket?
I hope it’s real.
How hard are you praying it’s all a hoax?
Youtube won’t touch him. If they do, I’ll carry it on my Youtube channel for him. I am a Youtube Partner, that means I make money from google ads run on my own videos. I know what I can get away with over there.
Levin also mentioned it??? Hmm.... He and Rush are very close and they instant message each other all the time.
Rush is pretty tech savvy so I am sure their communications are pretty protected. Levin is also an attorney. Rush may have done some dumb stuff about his health situation but I am sure he and Levin will be very very very careful.
If this thing is real - they are heroes. If it is fake - their careers will be harmed in a big way.
My guess and hope is this thing was locked down by our side a while ago and this may be a ruse. I hope so.
You said — thanks for the ping, wonder what will happen next?
—
Well, I suspect, read about it in WorldNetDaily... couldn’t be in a better place... :-)
Its a hoax , I assure you.
You said — How hard are you praying its all a hoax?
—
Not at all, this is the place I thought it should have been in the first place. You’ll notice that I was *already* posting that WorldNetDaily should be the one to handle this — even before this came out.
I can only think that the seller read my post and finally decided to do what I was talking about.
WorldNetDaily *is* the place to handle it...
Breitbart will run it. They can post videos and Andrew Brietbart is a friend of Drudge. YouTube has no monopoly on video.
I sure hope this guy is moving faster than he is telegraphing his moves.
Funny , his main criticism of other attempts was that they telegraphed their moves. Then he does the same thing...Hoax I say .
