Long time lurker, first time poster.
Recently, there seem to be lots of posts for GMT Master IIs at absurdly low prices.
The accounts appear to be either compromise, and usually have a random gmail e-mail in them. They have a number of watches for sale, yet no references, and their post history is mostly random comments.
There's a post right now from a member named "yran" selling a 2017 GMT Master II, new in box, for $9,900. A reverse image search indicates the photos from that listing appear to be taken off Gumtree.
Am I just being paranoid, or what? Seems to me to be too many red flags.

That’s a very useful first post and the research to support your suspicions.

And thanks to Tim for a swift conclusion.

I can’t take credit for that one Paul, I had removed the FS post and was in the process of banning him when he showed up as banned via another moderator.
