NameJet Bid History Question

[Premiere]

I am trying to figure out how this happens...

Domain name is listed at NJ until December 16th.
All prebids close at 8 PM PST on the 16th.
New Bidder shows up from out of nowhere 3 days later with same bid as other bidders, aka new entry?

Bid History Details: 7 bid(s) from 7 bidder(s)
Bidder Amount Date
bidder? $69 Dec. 19, 2008 2:11 PM PT
bidder1 $69 Dec. 16, 2008 4:09 PM PT
bidder2 $69 Dec. 16, 2008 6:56 PM PT
bidder3 $69 Dec. 16, 2008 7:09 PM PT
bidder4 $69 Dec. 16, 2008 7:44 PM PT
bidder5 $69 Dec. 16, 2008 7:45 PM PT
bidder6 $69 Dec. 16, 2008 7:54 PM PT

Scam? BS? Insider thievery?

That is bizzare. I would certainly give NameJet a call to inquire how this is possible. Can you share the domain name?

The stranger (not his real online nick), and I battled it out in the final minutes and I won. But his sudden appearance and sudden bidding was odd. When I check history now it shows the stranger as having bid on the 16th instead of 19th and with a different time stamp too. Even odder.
