[sdiy] Fake CEM3374s and SSM2040s on ebay

[Bruce Duncan]

Here's my favorite fake BBD on Ebay
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?VISuperSize&item=360350683020

Looks like the labeling was done with a potato stamp and you can clearly 
see the sanding marks on the top of the package.
How do they get away with it? And they have a 99.7% rating ta boot.
