Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abi Awfa (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The one who places a fake bid (to raise the price) is a consumer of usury (riba) and is accursed."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir, and its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy), except that I do not know of al-Awwam bin Hawshab having heard from Sayyiduna Ibn Abi Awfa (may Allah be pleased with him). And Allah knows best.
