Ugh, terrible Bono autograph

I was watching this one in hopes that no one would bid, but it looks like someone did fall for this seller's crap.  Looks like the "proof photo" is a screen cap.  Hopefully the damage is contained to $50.

I've gotten Bono several times, and even though his autograph has many different styles, I'd say this isnt one of them!

Slowly, slowly drawn.  I don't recall hearing that the band even signed after the B&N autograph session, and I'm fairly certain it wasn't dark outside when the book signing ended as the proof photo indicates.  Regardless, the signatue isn't even close.

Ebay, thankfully, took this auction down.

poof gone, along with 99% of their other autographs listed. Also would like to point out the proof shot was a picture of a television/monitor where Bono was signing for fans. Not sure what the prove's besides they stood in front of a TV bono was on and took a picture.

Yep, you could see the glare on the TV/monitor.  But even if they had better evidence, the signature was so poorly done that it was decidedly fake.
