I just received this email today:

Subject: Cel on your website

"Hello,
I was just looking at your site when I noticed 
this page:

http://www.stormpages.com/itsjust
aride/cel20.html

You have pictured on your page a cel that I 
purchased on Yahoo Japan. 

http://page4.auctions.yahoo.
co.jp/jp/auction/d14216227

Your photo appears to be the exact photo from the 
auction with minor 
cropping. Your picture even shows the small speck 
of dust at the bottom 
of the seller's scan just below Kiki's knee. As I 
own this particular 
cel, I request that you remove the picture and 
please stop claiming to 
own my cel. If you have one in that sequence, 
please scan yours. I am 
entertaining offers on the cel if you would like 
to own it, until that 
time, please take the picture down. I don't want 
people to question the 
authenticity of my cel.
Thank you,

Jim(Name withheld for privacy)"

My resonse was the following:

"First of all, let me see your gallery. I want to 
see
your scan of this cel before I release a scan to 
you.
If you do this, then I will send you a scan of 
both
the front and back of the cel on a white 
background
with a post-it note confirming it's authenticity. 
I
really don't know if this is some kind of scam or
what. I purchased this cel from that auction a few
months back using Hobby Shop K. Since the winning
bidder never footed the bill for the auction, and 
my
bid was second, I won the cel. If you wish, you 
may
contact Naoki at Hobby Shop K to confirm this. I 
run a
completely honest gallery, and I paid good money 
for
that cel. So, before I go sending off scans to
everyone who claims to own it, I want proof that 
you
own it. Until then, take care and happy hunting- 
Brian"

My question is: Has this ever happened to you and 
if so, how did you deal with the situation. This 
is the first time anyone has ever accused me of 
cel fraud.
