WATCHOUT - SARAL KUMAR from Douglastown, NY. Email Saralkumar@yahoo.com

[Mosco]

First, allow me to say that I have not lost any money, not yet, anyway. Not unless you firmly adhere to the 'Time is Money' adage, of course.
Saral's actions were, nonetheless, very suspicious. We agreed to a deal (I accepted his offer. He asked for my wiring instructions, which I forwarded via email. Shortly, i was informed that 'wire was sent'. That's where things got weird. Of course, wire never showed up. He stated that 'the branch requested his in-person appearance' to complete the wire and he would take care of it the next business day. Then, he proposed a paypal payment, which I did not accept. After that - completely M.I.A., which brings us up to now.
Normally, I wouldn't even give it a second thought - unfortunately in the retail sphere, clients often waffle on deals (although mostly BEFORE asking for wiring info). But then, I searched and found this: https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=364446

This seems to be his modus operandi. He's a time-wasting bottomfeeder at best, potential scammer at worst. Avoid him like herpes.

And if you're unfortunate enough to end up F2F, this is what he looks like.

What odd behaviour, and even stranger that he's done the same thing to Takuya and Briboxer. I wonder what he get's out of it?

Not sure, some sort of sick kicks. He's actually done this to quite a few other dealers as well who have since blocked him. Well, add me to that list.

he did the same thing to me twice some years back. stay away from this time waster.

[hnn17]

Is he hoping that the seller would ship the watch first while the payment is being finalised ? or maybe he just like the feeling of pretending to buy a really expensive watch, the tyrekicker experience.

[lapince]

I guess either he has mental issues, either he gets his kicks out of pretending to be what he will never be, a guy buying expensive watches, or he just likes to waste other peoples' time, wouldn't be the strangest behavior...

Sam K, Saral Kumar and he's also a member on here, I can't remember his handle. He waits for prospective buyers to post threads regarding an upcoming purchase or questions and then he PM's them offering deals.

He is a complete liar and continues to go around making deals, wasting time, wasting money of others.

He has burned me numerous times with promises and deals even went so far as saying he works with me.

Stay away from this guy!!!!

I remember banning him years ago as he pulled this garbage all the time.

While not new, it looks like user ID "saralk" is still active here.

In addition to "S550", "samkumar", and "nishantJ", I think he used to be "APRolex" here previously as well...

[Old Expat Beast]

saralk joins the banned list, thanks Eric.

[mb23]

This is the one I recall also, "APRolex".

[AMCK87]

I follow him on IG, @saralk100. TBH i have sold him a handful of APs and they were all f2f and no issue with payment but sounds like I may have been lucky. Sad to see this is happening.

[azsmartbet]

Thanks man, I'll add him to the blocked list! People need to train this guy so he doesn't do it anymore.

[VintageVagabound]

It sounds like he may be trying to sell these watches before he has them. When his potential buyer doesn’t follow through or send the money quickly enough he just stops responding because he doesn’t have the money to float it himself.

Either way sounds like a huge time waster
