Yea, that scammer is an idiot. He thinks by posting a lot of crap (e.g. on the watchout section etc) that people wont know who he is and think he is not the scammer. Haha

Me too! An Air King Z for 875? What was he thinking?! I'd bite if it was $675...but for $875??? No way!
What a POS! Hope they get their account back.

I think it should be a rule for anyone that whats to sell a watch to date and name a piece of paper next to the watch for sale. I know I did this when I sold my Exp. II few months back on here. We need to band together and protect each other on here.

These cyber-scams are incredibly dangerous to us because they have very little risk to them if they're careful about it. |

I just read this thread and I know it is against the rules for that sort of thing to happen, but I found the imposter's comments quite amusing. I bet he is a script kiddie, one who uses prescripted hacking tools without knowing a thing about hacking. I'm glad he's gone.

The dirtbag PM's me last night as well, but I didn't follow the link, figured I'd deal with it in the morning - then my good buddy InVision alerted us. Thanks pal!

Let's just agree to disagree. I completely condemn what he did, I just think that if this scammer was smarter he wouldn't have drawn so much attention to himself. I mean, the Watchout board takes out much more difficult scammers than this guy, so who was he thinking he could fool?
Glad the SOB is gone either way. |

wow thanks for the update I have been plugging your bezel inserts on some of the threads i hope no one bought one due to the hack. This is a very scary security breach and needs to be handled immediately to save the integrity of mine and many other peoples favorite forum. Mods please keep up up to date with latest security news.

I am sorry that this is my first post on this forum ever...
I am a lonely collector of watches, living in Norway. I am active on the Norwegian forum, but haven`t got "the balls" to post here before today. I have watching though, for the holy grail on the sales forum (vintage rolex - tudor). I thought I bought the explorer from 04 today, I know, 1.500 is a LITTLE to good to be true, but...... I sold a couple of my forum friends for thirty silver coins (thinking about selling it again of course). I even see that it was "onhold", should think that a scam maybe would try to catch as many as possible.
The seller is on vacation and I am asked to use westernunion instead of the usual bank accaunt. The phillipines by the way. I ask for confirm of the referances and then I see that the post is deleated and seller banned. I am awere of that the real owner of the nick is inecent of course - poor guy, builiding his cred for some years and then this happends. Anyway, glad to be here, I am learning a great deal about the watches we all love so mutch. Take care... |

It went to a page that looked like TRF but wasn't; there it asked you to login thereby getting your username and password.

OK thank you. I've ran into a few of those on facebook but Norton 360 is much smarter than me and it blocked the page.

I was actually dealing with "watchcollectorca" around 4 am last night for his explorer 1. I decided to back out of the deal though, and his respond was kinda odd.
Hi, I decided to back out on this deal. I am truly sorry for wasting your time, hopefully we will get to deal again next time. I am still a rookie with buying through forum like this. Once again, sorry for wasting your time ---End Quote--- Oh wow. |
