Fraud "whiteheart" auctions by grubboxx

We searched eBay for "whiteheart trade beads" in titles and descriptions and found the following auction listings.  There's one other regular auction where the suspicious misrepresented beads are too blurry to make out (a fake Nat Am leather piece).  Otherwise, there are 26 BINs in stores.  You're invited to find any accurate representation in any of these auctions.
