Watchout! - dsangil87@gmail.com
Received a fake PM email message (PM not on TRF, but email claims to be a TRF PM), asking me to contact dsangil87@gmail.com to purchase my Sub. When I contacted him, a "Darwin Sangil" replied to the email, offering to buy my watch, and also asking if I'd be interested in trades. There is then a link to a purported TRF thread. One thing to note is that the TRF link is fake, and it actually goes to:
"https://bit.ly/3bxHsjZ" which goes to: "https://rolexforumsmydhikzrizjh.000webhostapp.com/niyin/RolexWatch/RolexWatch/RolexForums.html" Which is an obvious phishing site. So, trying to steal TRF credentials, and there's probably also a payment scam of some sort at work. Watch out! |

I'm in the process of selling a watch and thought I was dealing with Darwin. I also received a similar email (email not PM notification) with TRF link today. The link seemed to take me to TRF but I received a notification box saying I wasn't authorized to view.
Seems very suspect now. I dont see any other signs in the email to make me think it's not his real gmail address though. *to clarify, I'm not saying Darwin (dsangil87) isn't trustworthy but may have been hacked. I've sent him pm via TRF ....waiting for reply. Last edited by donas; 28 March 2020 at 08:13 AM.. Reason: dsangil87 |

There is a member by that screen name with that email, banned as of now.
Be careful out there guys.

Very possible Wade.
Also please everyone remember to properly report suspicious threads and pm’s to the moderators via the red triangle. It’s fine to start a thread but do the proper report first as time is of the essence on these things.

But as with the original post author, I received the same "PM email" with link regarding a watch I have for sale. Am not following up on it anymore, but this scheme is still active. Beware sellars!

Just curious, after exchanging several emails, the scammer told me he was buying for himself as a birthday present - you guys get the same email? Well, "A" for effort, he was making it seem legit.
