Wanting to Buy and Scammers

[WatchLurv]

Dont we always go with the saying: Buy the seller?

Update: my private seller is now enraged with me checking up on him in the forum [which I told him I would] and have now told me that he refused to sell me the watch.

So bummed I won't get it at a much discounted price.

Sounds a "RED FLAG" to me
You are better out of it!

I too have been spammed with many blatant scam attempts while trying to source even a single gold Submariner link when posting in the WTB section.

If you're looking for a specific watch, chances are one of the many trusted sellers on here have or can have what you're looking for within a day or two.

You would have been most likely ripped off for 6K. Consider yourself very lucky! Do not buy from anyone with low post counts or hasnt been around for years is my advice. Even at that you have to know exactly who your talking too.

Accounts around here can get taken over by scammers if the person clicks on a bait address and then enters his log in info on what they believe to be the real Rolex forum when in reality its a fake one. Then they take over this persons account and create a email thats almost identical to the real trusted persons email.

They will try to get to to hurry and wire money to them for a fake non existent watch. Once you wire it and they move the money it consider it gone!

If its too good of a deal it most likely is a scam. Stick with trusted sellers like DavidSW, AIS, OC watchguy, Takya, SD watches or the likes. They are high volume long time sellers and you will get a quality product with a warranty to match.
