So heres my story
I purchased a Rolex 16610LV V serial off a now banned TRF member back in may! and I have yet to receive the watch or even a tracking number. I am still in contact with him but Iam struggling to get it sorted. I have a photo of his drivers ID, bank details, email, the watches serial number and a contract of sale. It's been five months and I'm getting very frustrated . He also sold 3 other watches here that same month.
His TRF username : babyboof
Heres a little timeline of whats happend.
22/4/20
First contact. I enquire about the watch and paypal is listed as one of the methods of payment.
23/4/20
He tells me he is having trouble with paypal and tells me to wait for it to get sorted with them. (apperently its to do with buying a watch)
1/5/20
He sends me a verification photo of the watch and his Swedish Drivers licence. We discuss the option of using his friends bussiness paypal and to put it through as a car engine..... A invoice is sent via paypal.
3/5/20
I Paid via paypal goods and services.
money was put on a 24hr hold
because he couldn't provide a original receipt they had to cancel the sale. and the money was refunded to my paypal (which took a week)
he suggests using transferwise and gives me all his details.
4/5/20
Money is sent via transferwise
He says he will ship it via tnt/fedex
10/5/20
He says tommorrow it should be delivered for shipping
12/5/20
he asked a friend to ship for him either today, tomorrow. as he so busy working.
19/5/20
He says the watch has been sent via ems or postnord.
at this point I'm pretty pissed off. And throughout june I'm in contact with him almost every day hassling him for the tracking number and he keeps saying that its been sent. And at one point he gets angry at me because I keep asking him for an update!!
11/6/20
He said that his friend(ex brother) said that it is stuck in stockholm because of covid. I call postnord and confirm that they are not sending packages to australia at this time (I still havnt recieved a tracking number)
11/7/20
He says it seems like he will be able to pick up and change the shipping
24/7/20
He hasnt picked it up yet because his friend( ex brother) is on vacation
29/7/20
"hes back later this week"
4/8/20
Hes not back from vaction he had one week more.
11/8/20
Hes back but hasn't got a response from him
since then Ive been getting the same " I will tell you the info when I talk to him and I will get it sorted this week" messages from him.
I really don't know what to do TRF please help me.
I feel like I've been scammed.
