Geoff you talk nonsense, the people in Romania is like in any other place, makes no difference, good guys and bad guys, you should stick to that person and not the others and the best thing for a person involved in this scam who lost more than €15000 is to came here and resolve this issue, Romania is a very peaceful country, no guns to every corner and bad people or gypsy as you described. You know what country have the biggest embassy in Romania? USA! You will be impressed if you see it! There is even a division specialised in this internet fraud in the Romanian police. So coming here is the best you can do, you go to the US embassy and you get all the possible help, to the Police and best you can do here is to go with your story to the TV and all the authorities they will take action instantly. By taking all this with the legal steps is taking forever, is not that you should not do that, but this is what the scamer expect you will do. I mean for example if I am frauded by a US scammer and I am in Romania he will not imagine ever that I will take the flight and spend 1000$ to recover my goods, he will imagine that I will make a claim and he will be bothered in 6 months or 1 year with some guestions and that's it. The guy sells watches in Romania on similar websites with this one, so many things can be done if the victims came here, don't waist your time, time goes only in the favour of the scammers every time.

Well then Alex, just send the a picture of the receipt with the tracking no. and everybody (well especially me) that you've sent out the watches as promised. When it comes to line up a deal you are very quick too. So?

Since every client of Tony1 started fire here I think is to late for any receipt, should deliver by now so unfortunately i think it's a scam.

it shows undelivered please call FedEx and tell them to stop the package due to fraud or something. They should have the item held until this situation is cleared. Just my thoughts.

Terrible to hear this. Sorry to all who have been affected by this scammer. There are some quality members and sellers on this site for sure. It's a shame that a scammer like this can ruin it for everyone.

Also, FWIW, Alex contacted me on December 13th for a trade of the alleged Patek for a watch I have listed plus $7000. I politely declined.

WOW! I'm certain they can. It is the property of sender and was initiated by sender. I wonder if OP has/had attempted to reroute the shipment.

(Edited)

Here's a screen shot of the tracking from just a minute ago:

If fedex refuse to stop the parcel the OP can ask for customs value modification ,lets correct the value to USD 40k , i hardly beleive Tony will pay the EU duties -about 40%-

Just my 2cents

Despite having a successful deal with Alex prior, he has taken me for $2,000.00 as well. I sent an initial payment for a Rolex Explorer II 216750 which was supposed to have shipped last Monday, and as of today no package is in route to my address via any carrier. He's been somewhat responsive but vague at best, and most recently he told me that all of his accounts were hacked and some of the deals made were not conducted by him.

Wow! Received a heads up from hcd90 about this thread.

Alex initially contacted me about purchasing his 14060m, and then trading my 5513 for it + cash. His references checked out but the deal stalled when he was unable to provide better photos and clarify the LNIB status.

Glad I avoided the deal(s) but it would have been tough to foresee the events described in this thread given his multiple references.

Best of luck to those affected.

If the watch is indeed stuck with Fedex at OTOPENI airport in Bucharest, than it should really be possible to get it returned to the sender. Good luck.

How in the world did some of you guys get Rolexes shipped to the US before Alex decided to go rogue?

It's 3 am (31st) in Romania as I post. The package is supposed to be re-delivered today with estimated delivery time at 6 pm. They're obviously not open yet but there's still a possiblity for the OP to contact FED EX to stop delivery and explain the situation. Contact http://www.fedex.com/ro/contact/ ASAP.
Good luck and hope everything gets sorted out.
