Hello all, this is just an alert to a rather dubious flute currently for sale on Craigslist London. The advert has copied the images and description from the ebay auction for the 2017 birthday flute. Here is the ad in question . . . .

Thanks for posting Not the missing flute but a copy of the ad for Olwell's birthday flute.

Re: Beware! Patrick Olwell Flute Scam
Interesting that someone would try this with Craigslist. A picture of an Olwell has been used in the past in a fake auction on Ebay where transactions are completed online. I'd assume a Craigslist buyer would be expecting to meet someone and carrying cash. That could get a bit dangerous.
