Beware of sspringerj@gmail.com A scammer using my screen name.

I've been notified by a member here on TRF that someone on breitlingsource.com is using my screen name springer and a fraudulent email address (sspringerj@gmail.com) in an attempt to sell a GMT 1675. This IS NOT my email address, and definitely not my listing.

The watch in the listing was mine several years ago but it was sold long ago.

So, there you have it. Another scammer, but hopefully not another victim.

Here is the fraudulent listing:

Out of curiosity I contacted him. The person is also claiming his name is John. In Texas and claims he bought it from ‘someone passing through’. Has since ‘temporarily removed’ the listing.
