From what the original poster described, I don't think he even got that! I think he got a copy of an 8x10 which had either a forged or scanned signature (found on the internet somewhere) slapped onto it by the seller.

I agree completely - fraud is fraud. If what we think is happening is really happening then I bet this seller will get a lot of heat eventually.
