I'm sure they are working in cahoots with some locals...who are giving them some direction with respect to what signs to fake.

I can give a little insight on eBay's problem with this. My friend's wife works in the fraud department at eBay as a paralegal. She goes to court for all their small claims stuff. They have so much that they can't even go to a "real" judge. They get other paralegals, law students, (maybe the janitor?) etc that are assigned to be adjudicators for the issues. I was really bummed out when I found this out. She said 9x out of 10 the law has nothing to do with the outcome, rather the complexity and if the person assigned wants to dig in deep or just get it over with.

I've owned a very nice red sinclair aircraft sign. After having one on the wall for awhile and seeing it closely on a daily basis, you can look at the one above and quickly see it's just not right. I hope the fraudsters in india get raped by a camel.
