Be careful of this guy Little Machines.

His account might have been hacked or not. I have no idea.

But he sent a PM and sent me a link to try and hack our account as well.

Moderators please look into this. Maybe this user was hacked.

Can't add pics from mobile. Will upload later

His email is aboutderntime@gmail.com

Thank you for the info, just for future reference the fastest and correct way to report these types of things is to click the red triangle in the suspicious post as I’ve shown below.

Hi, I got the same PM about a Cartier tourbillon I am selling. And then I emailed the guy and received that same email.




I deciphered the link and ran it through a couple of phishing and scam URL checkers and it came up clean, but I think when you click on the link you are NOT taken to rolexforums but redirected to some fake site that looks like rolexforums and asked you to login to steal your password. The redirect has something to do with some site named luxury-house or luxuryhouse.com

I ran malware and virus checks on my computer, all clean.

As a precaution I changed my passwords to my rolexforums membership and email.

I looked at all of the posts Little Machines has made at rolexforums and they seem like post padding meaningless spam posts to try to increase his post count.

https://www.rolexforums.com/search.p...rchid=31914389
In any case the email was entirely suspect because the supposed buyer didn't even ask any meaningful questions about the watch just claimed that was ready to pay.

I exchanged PMs here at rolexforums with a couple of members and a moderator about this and I understand that Little Machines has been banned pending further investigation.
