Is Watchxnyc legitimate?

[athens7]

I have received interest in one of my watches from this user. There have been several red flags for me in our communications:
1) They requested that I use email, rather than TRF DMs. In fact, they have disabled TRF DMs
2) I replied to their request via email, and received a response from a different email than the one they requested that I respond to
3) Their reply did not answer the question that I asked in my response to their original contact.
4) The original message was from a dealer; the follow up message indicated an individual buying the watch as a birthday present
5) the most recent email ignores any elements of the purchase, other than requesting payment and shipping details, which were identified in the sale post

The whole contact smells funny to me. If I am wrong, please let me know. Otherwise, this potential buyer may merit closer scrutiny.

If you went to 'look at their collection', and entered credentials to what you may have thought was this forum, change your credentials if you can.

I bailed out before providing any information. Thanks for the reply.

See this thread as well. It looks like he's been banned.

I just wanted to post for clarity, that these messages were not from WATCHXNYC. Our account was hacked, and thankfully banned by moderators.

Please contact me here if any issues arose from these messages, our company will handle them for you.

We strive for security, and unfortunately failed on this aspect. We will hopefully regain access and implement a new process to ensure this never happens again.

As of now the mods have re-enabled out account, and we have taken steps to further protect the account from any further compromise.

Please message us if you require anything, or our hacked messaged caused any issues.
