Scammer
Jameholz01 is a scammer and should be banned.

Look him up. I got scammed. Too upset and embarrassed to elaborate.

His latest listing is a GMT II Batman... is that how much you were scammed for?

OP — not cool to come on here with your 5th post and claim scam, offer no details, and that you’re too ‘embarrassed’ when no one will even know who you are. If you in fact got scammed, offer some details to help others avoid being victimized.

Scammer
Agreed on a price, wired funds last Friday, funds received Monday. Made a different excuse each day afterwards why he couldn’t ship after advertising overnight FedEx. My banker said it was textbook scam.

Not to add insult to injury, but the lowest priced BLNR across all forums was $15k. It should have been a huge red flag that he was selling for $11k. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

This is unfortunate OP. What site? Watch Patrol? I see he was posting an omega here. I don’t see any feedback for him here |

Carnoustie96 - please shoot me a text, I sent you a private message. I also wired Jameholz01 funds last week for the Rolex Batman.

Wow sorry to hear- why why would anyone wire funds to an individual you never met?? All these scams could be avoided by insisting on AMX or pay pal or better both! Hope others can learn this - cheap insurance! james in San Antonio Tx

I do so because sometimes that’s the only way to get the watch i want. But each time, i do my research and due diligence on the seller. |

Thanks for the input guys. I have been in contact with Carnoustie96 and we have both confirmed that we have been scammed by Jameholz01. He took $22,700 from us combined. Just feel awful as I am relatively young (26) and spent the whole year saving the money to buy a watch.
I know I messed up here and should have been more cautious but this guy looked legit to me. I have done 2 past deals on TRF for reference... He (1) had multiple posts on TRF and other sites and was active in the forum discussions. He had other sales postings for an Omega and IWC on TRF and looked legit when I google searched his name (https://www.google.com/search?q=jame...hrome&ie=UTF-8) (2) provided me with a picture of his name next to the watch so I knew he was in possession (3) gave me people to text with whom he did past deals with (know now that these were set up by him) - one of these matched the IWC pilot he supposedly sold (https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=735512) (4) gave me a picture of his ID which matched the below bank account information (Leigh James Walker account) - probably photoshopped in hindsight.... An additional review he has on OmegaForums: https://omegaforums.net/threads/top-...holz01.107671/ Fake ID Info: State: Alabama Name: Leigh James Walker Address: 19508 Scenic Hwy City: Mentone Zip: 35984-2418 No.: 8354231 DOB: 08-04-1980 Phone Number I was contacting: 205-708-0255 E-mail address: jameholz01@gmail.com For others to avoid similar scams, here is the various bank account information he provided us with: Wire info I used Recipient Bank Name: Citibank Recipient Bank Address: 388 Greenwich Street Recipient Bank Suite/Mail Stop: Recipient Bank City: New York City Recipient Bank Country: United States of America Recipient Bank State: New York Recipient Bank Zip Code/Route: 10013 Recipient Name on Account: Leigh James Walker Recipient Bank Routing Number: 322271724 Recipient Account Number: 42030618344 Recipient Bank SWIFT Code: CITIUS33 Wire info Carnoustie96 used: Name: Robin J Staton City: Columbus State: AL Bank Name: JP Morgan Chase Bank City: Columbus Bank State: OH ABA/Acct: 0830-0013-7 Type: Checking Account Receiving Account #: 678716280 My question to everyone is: Any advice on what to do here? Carnoustie96 and I know our odds are slim to recoup our money but would like to do the best we can here. Thanks to all for the support and help. Andrew |

You file a complaint with ic3.gov
Not much else you can do. |

Definitely call the receiving banks too. Often times these are hacked accounts and the account owners don’t even know money is being deposited into their account. If it hasn’t been withdrawn the receiving bank can freeze it
