Take a look at the current auctions listed by "pkyou2004" on eBay:
http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZpkyou2004
You can have a Canon EOS 1DMkII or a EOS 5D for 99 Euro (US$ 132).
And this guy has a ton of this stuff for sale! Only one hitch:
Poor guy's lost his credit card so he can only accept payment
through Western Union or wire transfer to some bank in mainland
China.

I informed eBay's "Security Center" about kyou2004's auctions about
four hours ago, by no action so far. I am posting a warning here on
the off chance that some of the those that has already bitten and
think that somebody in China will sell them a 1DMkII for $132 will
think twice before wiring any money. See also:

Anyone attempthing to sell me something that cheap is not on the level. I am safe, I wouldn't even give this jack*** the time of day, much less a buck for a cup o' joe.
