The knobs look to be in the wrong spot - closer than the usual fakes, but still a bit off.
Also, there's no way in HELL that guitar didn't originally come with a pimp ass case, so that's another giveaway

I asked kijiji to remove the ad, and I reported it to Gibson.

I over heard a man in one of our local shops this weekend talking about a guy who'd been duped with a fake. A shame that folks who dont know any better get ripped off like that.
I wont lie, If one played well & sounded good, (and if it were cheap enough) I'd buy one to keep as a hack up project, or something to experiment on. I'd paint over the Gibson logo, and if I were to sell it, I would disclose it were a fake mfpoms

good point, i didnt even notice, i was too busy looking at the guitar.
since he listed it as a clone it not really a issue.

Originally it did not say ckone....guy said it was custom shop gibson!
I complained to kijiji twice as well as notified Gibson....it got changed to Clone pretty fast.
