Thank you for letting us know. I hope he comes through with your bracelets, word spreads very quickly in our small community and there is no place for crooks.

This guy has been around for years and yes he is a known scammer. But, the way he operates is unlike any other I have seen.

He contacts people who have parts for sale and asks them if he could broker the sale between the actual seller and the potential buyer. By doing this, he has access to getting any pictures the buyer requests (by simply emailing the actual seller for something specific) and by doing so he gains the trust of the buyer.

In reality, he has no parts to sell. He has nothing in hand. He lays out no money at any time to purchase any parts, he just acts as a broker.

He eventually morphed into a scammer because he realized he could do the same thing without ever delivering the parts. I thought he was Spanish but, have no idea. He does change his name often so he is difficult to find.

Be careful, he is a pro that lurks mostly on IG

He’s been around since at least 2017. I never dealt with him as he already back then had a bad reputation on the Italian forums. PVRs description matches his behaviour towards me well. Eventually he stopped messaging..

His website actually shows several photos of a boutique store. It looks very professional but there is no address.

The shop front pictures does look like a high end boutique store! Only when you search through the website, you do begin to realise it is fraudulent. Clear as mud!

Photoshop failures! Hopefully an investigation on him can proceed and with the scamming crimes committed given the dollar amount, results in a serious penalty.

I mean, anyone with two eyes can tell all of those photos are photoshopped

What's funny is he, has a ton of legit collectors/dealers following his IG.

dealers following him are probably more out of curiousity.

Really, I find it difficult to tell the pictures are photshopped. The other pic is even more realistic

Sooner or later this piece of fecal matter is going to rip off the wrong person, someone with the ability to find out who this POS is and with the resources/time to go pay him a visit. And i can only imagine it won't be pretty.

Why would you say this? I’m not saying that your wrong but give us some evidence that he’s a TRF member. No one by VintageDaytona screen name on TRF when I checked.

The guy has changed his handle for the third time but I am only guessing. You also would not know his username on these forums. He be silly to use the same name as his Instagram here.

When you state that he must be a TRF member I thought that you had evidence to that effect, not just a guess.

I would be willing to bet he is a member/lurker on a number of high end watch sites. A pro knows the hunting grounds so they say.

ANY PERSON THAT HAS BEEN CONNED/SCAMMED BY Quirino Robuschi PLS SEND ME YOUR STORIES

Hi

My name is Gadi, and I have nothing to do with watches/Rolex. Quirino Robuschi was my tenant in an apartment I own in Tenerife for about a year and a half. Once he´d started not paying the rent, I´ve asked him to pay, he denied, and after 5 months he didnt pay any rent/water/electricity/community etc(about 1000€/month approx), with the help of the national police we´ve managed to get him out of the apartment at the end of September 2020. Then I´ve discovered he´d done this to other landlords in Tenerife. Only today did I find out(months after I didnt want to think about this guy), while googling, that he´s also a thief and a liar with his "watches business"... Not a huge surprise of course... There´s another forum dedicated to this scam "artist", in Tapatalk...

In any case, I´ve spoken this morning to the Spanish National Police, and they said that from Monday they will contact interpol and report all that appears on both forums. They´ve asked me to publish this message, inviting ANY PERSON THAT HAS BEEN CONNED/SCAMMED BY Quirino Robuschi TO SEND ME THEIR STORIES, WITH AS MANY AS POSSIBLE DETAILS/IMAGES ETC. I will pass the info to the police, they will pass to interpol, and they will try to get us our money back. Please feel free to email to me directly.
Good luck to all of us and have a great 2021

ps

Attached is a screen capture of a whatsapp message he sent to me. It was in order to convince me that he will get money to pay me soon... he never paid of course, but if you see your name on that list, that´s some kind of an evidence... fyi

Hi,

I wasn’t scammed by the guy but he made an offer for an expensive bracelet that I accepted on ebay. Presumably he was looking to sell it further. HE never paid and given eBay rules I can only give him positive feedback, however I made sure to write down the fact that he is a time waster. He has plenty of positive feedback with very bad comments for the same reason.

I hope he doesn’t continue scamming people out there, exercise maximum caution!

I’m sorry to all those who got scammed, very very uncool. But where’s the due diligence? Some google searching on this guy quickly reveals all sorts of flags. I’m mean, really .... if the time spent on due diligence were even a fraction of the time spent “post-fraud” on police reports, bank contacts, anguish, sleepless nights, and griping and warning, the “Watch Out” section would shut down for lack of content.
