Albert Gregg Scam scam rolex

[Hpozzuoli]

Great detective work here. It's almost as good as the BOLO's on my boating forum. Those guys scour social media and put the cops to shame when a members boat/trailer/hauler get taken.

Hey pal.. when the wire transfers are remitted by you/your bank, they go on the codes used rather than the bank name/address, which typically would just be referenced as 'additional info' and not used to apply the funds.

When the payment reaches the beneficiary bank (Regions Bank Swift:UPNBUS44 in this instance), they do check that the ABA code and account number match the beneficiary name, and they will also, of course, screen the payment(s) pursuant to OFAC regulations.

To both of you, I would recommend (though I've sure you've already done it) contacting your bank and requesting a cancellation of the payment. It can be requested, certainly on international payments, typically for a fee (I used to be an international payment specialist investigator, and lots of our work used to be requesting the cancellation of payments via SWIFT) - it's only a 'request' and not a guarantee, but you've got to try.

I would also be very concerned that the beneficiary account (Serenity senior daycare LLC) must be compromised if the 'scammer' has been able to withdraw the funds from them - if they are a legit business as you seem to suggest they are; are they doing anything their end since clearly someone has access to their account?

**Saw that epc2 said he spoke to daycare owner and they said they were reporting to police - scammer getting access to a company bank account is quite some feat!

So, a fellow member sent me this thread because he noticed that the phone number mentioned by the OP is the SAME number that my scammer used as well. Likely the same scumbag. Is there a good way for those of us involved to pool resources/information and help each other try and expose this guy?

Here is the thread I started to bring awareness to the scammer and associated tactics: https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=525406

There are vintage dealers that have been at it for a while selling online. I purchased two vintage watches this way.

[GGGMT]

Yep, I've purchased all but one rolex online from trusted sellers, including several on the trf

Xin chia buồn với anh, hàng ngày like trên FB anh, thôi thì của đi thay người, chúc anh thành công hơn :)

I'm not an attorney but could the affected have a case against the daycare for negligence resulting in damages.

It seems like they were notified on multiple occasions that they had a security breach and seemed to, essentially, do nothing about it.

If it is someone within the company, assisting Albert Gregg, it could leverage them into paying some of the stolen money back or rooting out the "inside man"

Just in case someone can track these emails, these are the references he sent:

Hope this has positive outcome for at least some of the impacted.

What is the vetting process y'all use on these references? I will be honest, I would have run for the hills the moment I saw any of those references.

"Tomvia Dean" is not a name, nor does it seem even remotely real, if it is, google has never heard of it. The second is just "Brown"? The third? The email spelling does not even match the name. I could see if one example occurred, but all three?

Sadly, if you are not a native english speaker it can be hard to notice these nuances. Seems silly, but, the inconsistencies in the capitalization alone seems odd, who adds a business iPad signature and only capitalizes the first of three words and then decides they really want LLC to stand out.

I always share ads with my father and he does the same, helps us stay safe as sometimes your desire to make a deal clouds your perception. It's saved us both a few times.

Wow. I NEVER thought that this can be possible .....

[splashlou]

terrible stories... im new here because im in the market for a sub or gmt and now im getting gun shy. Maybe best if someone posts near me and I make the transaction in person. At least for my first purchase

[joli160]

I am sorry for you guys, hate these thiefs and hope he will end up in jail

[aleeboy]

This could relate to customer account opening due diligence. If the bank is not comprehensive in its documentation requirements and checks, anything could happen.

[Gtecko]

an update would be nice yes, any luck in getting this solved ? ?

[Stillwater702]

So sorry to hear this. I was in your country a couple of months ago and I've encountered honest and amazing people there. I don't know why you would send money twice but I'm sure by now you've already learned from this experience. Sending good karma your way buddy.
