Someone "borrowed" two of my photos

Oh, man, this is deeply weird.
I wrote this post about seeing a number one Barbie doll in 2014.  No, she is not mine.

Last week this warning post appeared on the Doll Reference Forum.

I followed Cat Mother's links and found the original ebay listing, saying that a number one Barbie was for sale, but the photos were mine!

Cat Mother said she asked the seller for more photos, but he couldn't produce any.  She got suspicious and knew of a way to research the photos, at which point arrived at my blog here.  The listing is no longer available.
