**SCAMMED for $45,500 by HASSAN IMTIAZ CHOHAN ***
TRF,
Pains me to write this, but I was taken for $45k by this man https://www.facebook.com/hash4272 HASSAN IMTIAZ CHOHAN / HASSAN IMTIAZ HASSAIN I have attached pics of his license, likely fake. Apparently he took a bunch of others as well.  Any leads on finding this man would be appreciated. I sent $45k for a Patek, he shipped me a box with an empty Tag Heuer box. I have contacted the FBI, but cannot do a local police report as I am in new zealand on a trip. Just wanted to publicize this so no one else gets taken. Thank you.

If you can't recover any funds, hopefully you can at least get some justice! If that really is the actual guy, then it would seem you are not the first person he has scammed. Here are some interesting links: https://www.mylife.com/imtiaz-hussain/e393633048972 https://www.bizapedia.com/va/hrdmm-h...vices-inc.html https://www.thegazette.com/subject/n...owner-20180706 Obviously hindsight is 20-20, but this should to remind others that a little due-diligence can go a long way. A simple search on his name prior to sending funds would have likely raised enough red flags (as above) to hit the brakes. Good luck, and keep us posted! |

Wow good detective work. Imo that’s a lot of good information and he is obviously in the system so finding him won’t be a issue. Anyways good luck and I hope they throw this scumbag under the prison. Stories like this make buying almost anything online a red flag these days. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Sorry to hear this. You need to stay in contact with the FBI. Find out exactly who will be the case worker.
As mentioned a quick Google search of the address would have thrown up some red flags. The license could be genuine. That address is in foreclosure, and it appears to have been owned by the father Imtiaz Hussain according to the tax records. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/8...64469396_zpid/ I hope you get a positive resolution. These people cannot be allowed to run and hide. |

Police are on it. I am on vacation and didn’t do my normal due diligence...no ones fault but my own. Accept full blame.
Hopefully the police can do something. I am optimistic :)

Man. I feel so sorry for you, actually gives me a knot in my stomach. Hopefully they nail this SOB to the wall. Enjoy your vacation and hopefully everything will work out in the end.

So sorry to hear. Once again there is a lesson for all of us. Never , never send a seller money w/o using pay pal or AMX , preferably both - I Don’t Care if the seller is the pope. Violate this rule and sadly you have NO recourse.
Op I hope maybe you can get the authorities involved and recover your funds.What a sad story to hear. |

Curious if the Patek was advertised on TRF or another site.

Terrible. I know there are good sellers on this forum, but I would only buy face to face.

Omg.....horrific. I’ve been scammed before, but ‘only’ for around 6k. It’s the worst feeling in the world. I pray this scumbag gets what he deserves.

Sorry to hear Chad and hope he gets found ASAP. It is far too dangerous to deal with any unknowns in this day and age. Too many predators out there and too easy to get burnt. Be careful out there all!

I’ve met so many amazing people as a result of this hobby it’s unreal. People, just like the OP, Chad, who I wouldn’t hesitate sending 45k to in an instant. It’s unfortunate that a few bad apples really make it hard to maintain that trust. That’s why I find it so important to maintain the relationships that I do have, people who always keep their word. Stay safe out there folks.
