Proceed with caution with this Ad.
Hi Guys,
I'm not acussing this guy to be a scammer but be very careful and proceed with caution some details about his ad and writing reminds of some scammers in the past. This is the ad I'm talking about : https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=582824 OK, what are the red flags?: -Guys has two feedback from two members , one with 11 posts and another with 7 posts , both of these members have USA as location , same as the seller and known scammers. All of these members and seller replies are short, congrats , nice etc replies. And what got me thinking is his words for bumping the ad; " Still looking" , if you check this thread you'll see why it catches my attention , same words used by another scammer a few months ago , check this thread: https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=537167 Also this doesn't look like the right way to describe a watch: "the tape has not been shortened" Be safe guys and proceed with caution. Thanks. |

Also guy had another watch for sale and after a Mod Spot check he posted a paper with his name and then later marked it as sold, please take a look at the font on his first ad and then on this ad, looks like two different people wrote the name, writing is different.

Thanks Tim
Again everyone buying or selling needs to be highly vigilant as internet transactions can be dangerous, the person you think you are dealing with may be a different person altogether, and the goods may not even be real. Stolen accounts are used by scammers. Verifying feedback by multiple legitimate reliable sources is critical. If anyone gets a person suggesting fake feedback report it straight away.
