BEWARE - Tony1 (Alex) from Romania is a THIEF

[sugiharto]

Now that Tony1 has been banned, is it possible he could log in with a different username?

We are on him and know his IP which will be banned as well.

Man that's tough. I had similar happen to me on another forum. I think the problem was the guy lost his job and hit a rough spot. So a formerly good member resorted to fraud. Sold all of his watches to cheep. Sold most of them to several members. I got lucky in that I was close enough to him and I pressed him on shipping so he actually sent me the watch and shafted the other members.

This does not look good for me either. I am waiting for the sub no date he marked as sold on the forum december 17.
He claimed i'd have it mid this week....
I'm out US6k.

How many else are waiting for the same watch? Any progress in reaching him?

How did you pay for the watch?

[Audemars Piguet]

You can search on facebook Krystal and you will find this address and exactly the phone number that the OP posted, is a club with

Restaurant · Clubhouse · Pool & Billiards
Sos. Leordeni nr. 4, Popesti-Leordeni
0766 680 871

Also I have searched the local websites and he sells some watches here, I suggest to contact immediately the local Romanian police, they will help. Also you should call the Romanian banks. If you have the bank account or better the name of the bank I will help to locate phone numbers.

Right now he has for sale on a well known local website www.ceasuridemana.ro his user name is andavid, the phone number you allready know it and also his email is show nasd11111@hotmail.com

Wire transfer from Sweden to Ro.
Is everyone filing individual claims?

I am traveling until the 30th and until then i can't get tomy main pc for documentation.

This was going to be my first rolex. I sincerely hope this ends well.


Question, if his ip is banned, can he still read this?

[Audemars Piguet]

[Audemars Piguet]

Hope things are going well for you and your family. Nice to see a familiar AZBILLIARDS face over here.

I hate getting robbed

It doesn't just happen there, although I'm dealing with another similar situation with a few different cue (and one case) makers.... albeit a smaller amount.

Contact your bank right away. I don't know what is the right course to take, but I'm sure some members will be able to help you out.

Good luck.

[jcd]

I hope this guy gets what's coming to him.

It's quite frustrating reading about these scams. It's becoming impossible for people like myself that flip a watch or 2 per year to sell anything. I'm just as afraid of getting scammed as a seller as I am buying. And I totally get why I have to work hard as a seller to earn a potential buyer's trust. Sooooooo tired of reading about these scum bags.

[zbrock06]

There is another member that has been scammed that has not posted on here yet.

[AbsolutelyROLEX!]

Maybe moot point but tony1 also contacted me twice about a trade for the 16613 I have listed on here, luckily i didnt and it was for 2 reasons, first i didnt want a trade and second was his location.......
I hope this works out for the affected, myself ive been the victim of a scammer in the past and know what it feels like too.
Problem is too here in Canada the scammers almost have more rights than the victims, as i found out contacting canadian law enforcement to try to catch the scumbag, just sickening

[sugiharto]

I hope this whole thing can be sorted out in the best way. Scamming really sucks

Tying to prosecute the guy who scammed me from panamawatches.com Emanuale Sarre was the equivalent of pissing in the wind...so frustrating

[emale]

Its possible this is the same guy as the one mentioned in this thread.

[skprd13]

Sorry for you guys man that sucks so badly. I hope it works out and you do manage to get either the watch or your money back.

[TempoKing]

TRF member "scharnke" on the 10th of December wanted to know about Alex (Tony1)

...hello Tempoking! im planning to buy a PP 5711 from Tony1
from buchaerest, can you recommend him? :))

I wrote the following in response:

He bought a Datejust from me for 2,000 dollars....
Then I bought from him a few parts 200-300 dollars !
Both transactions were smooth.
Exersize due diligence as with anything else in life.
Best
Anastasios

Those that lost watches and money - I am sorry this happened to you

[Audemars Piguet]

Anastasios It's very clear that he planned in time for this scam.

The way I see it there's only one way for you to get your watch back.

Fly down there, go to the local police station and find an officer.

Convince him (with a few $100 bills) to accompany you to the scammers home and get your watch.
