SonofAlich - Why was this user banned? Potential Trade
Hey all
I cant post a link due to post count but the username on here is "Sonofalich" I am from an alternative forum and about to make a purchase. Upon doing my due dilligence it looks like the user in question that I will be dealing with also existed here by the same name. Why was this user banned? I am obviously skeptical about trading him if it was anything scam or fraud related. I would also like to inform staff about this and protect the members of the other website if it was indeed fraud related. Many thanks in advance. |

Did you find this doing your DD? He appears to be a contributing member of a fake watch forum.

If it's the same fellow, he clearly is interested with fake watches, which would be a massive red flag for most people. Have a nice day..

Welcome to TRF - the Mods have a rule about debating banned members so can’t go further than this:
https://www.rolexforums.com/member.php?u=209134 The join date to ban date is a serious concern. To answer your question, I wouldn’t do a deal… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Personally, I despise fakes but I do like to be educated so I never have to make a post that I bought a fake. Oops, I did note that this particular member seems interested in purchasing them. That's a NO in my book.

Pass and find a seller without red flags. If he is a contributor to a fake watch forum, etc, then I would chalk that up as a red flag.

Yup. Something doesn't smell right.

Its not just about protecting myself. Its about protecting others.
Ofcourse I wont be trading the guy now. But if there is proof of fraudulent behaviour I want him removed from the other site to protect others. Does that make sense. |

Sure does! But there will always – – always – – be another fraudster. Therefore, I find the most likely way to curtail fraud on these forums is to educate potential buyers. As I’ve said before, it takes two for the fraud — the fraudster and an uninformed buyer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
