Fake vintage HK photo slides

I just discovered a group of photos stolen from my Flickr page being sold on ebay, by a seller in Florida,USA. I had discretely watermarked some of them, but the marks were cropped out or obscured. I was not aware that someone could produce a fake photographic slide these days, but I guess anything is possible. They were all photos taken in the '60s and '70s of the R&R bars in Wanchai. When a rare photo of this area shows up on ebay, it usually attracts a lot of bidding, and sells for a surprising amount of money. They may pop up again, so beware if you bid on a Wanchai photo- you may end up with a stolen fake.
