You seem to be pretty chill about it.

I actually considered making him/her an offer - but quickly backtracked when I remembered the first law of online watch buying:

BUY - THE SELLER FIRST

wesdaniel · 9 August 2018, 04:41 AM

God, I'm trying to not write this post, but I have to because I'm just stunned.

If the seller comes through and delivers the watch, I'll be pleasantly surprised, but I don't think that's going to happen.

The seller's first post here on TRF was on May 7th. Two months ago. Over that two month period of time, the seller made 96 posts. None of them were more than one sentence long except the post in which he listed the watch for sale.

The seller has *NO* feedback in the Buyers/Sellers forum - neither as a buyer or a seller.

Why would someone WIRE money in this circumstance???

If it was PayPal or a credit card transaction, MAYBE. Maybe; but not probably. But, to wire money? I just don't get it.

OP, it looks like you've bought and sold quite a few watches here in the past 7 months, so you probably got lucky repeatedly with having good experiences and didn't thoroughly vet the seller in this case?

It's sad to see that things like this happen, but, it's not like a trusted seller went bad all of a sudden.

I see his listing is still up.

tbonesteak · 9 August 2018, 05:20 AM

Sorry to hear!

Hope it works out for you, only been 2 days, have you had any communication with him since wiring funds?

Looking at his history, what type of DD did you do?

Yeah, I'm sorry, but just don't get it either. I hope you have some recourse to recover your money, or the watch.

OP: keep us posted - I am hoping this is a hiccup. My financial planner missed a meeting with me today due to an accident his wife had. Maybe something has happened to the seller...a skip tracer may be in your future.

The only recourse is a federal emergency court order and seizure of the wire fraudsters assets assuming the funds haven’t been withdrawn. For amounts over $10,000 the receiving bank may have a “hold” period so a call to that bank would be potentially fruitful. [edit: but I note seller had conveniently dropped price to $9995 :sad:]

But seeing as how this is just 48 hours after the sale, it’s hard to prove a fraud. There are myriad legitimate reasons one might not fulfill immediately.

Setting aside the issue with the seller, what is the issue with the box?

This POS has the watch listed on multiple sites.

This guy is a cheater. I also got scammed. He sold this watch on timezone as well, but with different username and email.
I wired him $9950 on Aug 1, and he has never shipped. Be aware. This is the information he provided.

Sorry to hear but always the same story seller with little to no history and feedback. I would never send one penny to an unknown like this when there are so many well established with long history of feedback sellers here! If one doesn't want to get burnt don't play with fire.
