I May Have Been Scammed Right Here On TRF

[mrh1797]

This would not be considered theft unfortunately, sadly there is not much recourse in terms of legalities. Most often these types of transactions are considered civil issues and can only be handled through civil court. Joey contact me at mattherrera58@gmail.com or 719-214-2277....I can let you know what your options are. I am so sorry buddy.

Matt, you are 100% incorrect. It is called fraud in my business, which is criminal. Better take some time and look at some fraud statutes.

It is also a federal violation!

this certainly is it. Contact the local PD as well as the Postal Inspector Service.

Oh man that stinks. Google Maps comes up with the street, but no finding on the #. Based on the Google-maps #'ing, he lives on a nice cul-de-sac.

Let's hope his dog died or he's in the hospital or something. I'd be sick for you otherwise.

I did the same thing, but the numbers on the house only reach 396.

Now, why was he banned? Did the Mod know something you didn't? Maybe his selling privileges should have been questioned? Damn! I hope the hell this works out and it's all a minor mix up and he is just not home or something silly like that.

[clew84]

Makes me sick to read this - I am so sorry.

We need our own TRF Task Force...

I'm in!!

[Nicko]

Can someone blow up this pic and see if there is an address on the cert?

[TimeToGo]

I am so sorry this has happened to you.

He was BANNED for not providing a copy of the certificate as requested...See link below:

What a fvcking turd! If he is indeed a scammer!

[TurboWatch]

Not before Xmas. I contacted the guy while back but no solid or verifiable references....

and now this. Anyone lives nearby to help the Doc out?

It stinks to have this happened right here at TRF. I've always thought we're one of the safest place ...

If he's reading this, I hope he will realize that a couple Rolexes aren't worth two broken kneecaps and other permanent bodily damage and comes clean. In modern day it is not that hard to find him. Search is in the works.

[TattooedGQ]

Rediculous.....I was seriously considering that TT with the Serti. Good luck man! I work with some people in SC, They're checking on the name/addr.

[Rebel]

I hope this will have a happy ending for you.

404 Waterville Dr Columbia SC

[R1@160@alltimes]

That is absolutely disgusting

I hope you recoup your watches.

The thing is that FedEx sent me verification of delivery to that very address yesterday afternoon. My two watches were delivered and signed for by a "C Hayes" at 12:36 at 404 Waterville.

What really pisses me off is that I sent him my Submariner 16613 with a custom diamond dial I bought in 1992. The only watch I would ever consider trading or selling it for is the 16618.

I did a reverse phone search on his number and found that it is registered to a "Don Jones" in Columbia.

I am off to the bank to find out where my money went. Thanks so very much for your words of support. I feel like an idiot for not checking this guy out better, but I felt safe here at TRF, having done a great transaction in the past on a Datejust, (which is now in Don's hands.)

joeychitwood,

PM me all the info that you have on this guy, the internet forensics contact I have can find out personal info form posters on "anonymous" posting web sites, so if you have any info I am sure he can find out who he really is.

Thanks. I'll forward the information I have on Andy Hayes aka Don Jones.

Great all the help you willing to provide the poor man here , however I'm pretty sure that the bas... scammer is checking what we write about him . Let's not give him any info that he can use to avoid making a mistake and hence locate him .

[Pep04]

These are the reasons why you see the news from time to time saying that a bod was found decomposed in the trunk of a car or in a bush. I've seen people do this type of stuff here in Miami and next morning you hear that they were found on the side of a road in an industrial park with an ant pile growing in their mouths.

Don't like violence and it doesn't solve anything, but not everyone thinks like me. And you may come across some crazy motherfu%ker that won't be contacting the authorities in this scenario.

[Speed]

Good luck. Will be thinking about you. Please keep us posted.

[kcmo]

I KNOW what you are going through and I REALLY feel for you. I was scammed in Sep 2008 and wrote about it here on TRF. A SICKENING feeling. Go talk to your bank and see what they can find out. Also, as suggested, call the authorities immediately. Unfortunately, my scammer was in Canada and I have no idea if he was ever caught. I contacted the FBI as well with details but they never contacted me back to follow-up. A helpless feeling indeed.

I REALLY hope that the watches you sent were insured. I am adamant about insurance and the watch I sent my scammer WAS covered so I ended up making a claim and being reimbursed THANK G-D.

Please keep us posted and don't give up. Wishing you all the best.

I PRAY that your scammer GETS WHAT'S COMING TO HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!

[newmedia]

best wishes and hope the justice gets served on this scum!

[1000ftSub]

Yup, its sad there are people out there that would do this type of thing. Those people are not welcome here!

[JJ Irani]

I really feel for you, Joey, and I do hope this matter gets sorted out in your favour.

One thing I don't understand - you sent him 2 watches PLUS $12K? Why? The asking price for the gold Sub was only $12K, so not sure how those 2 watches come into the picture.

Best - JJ

Ok, but you still haven't answered my question. Where do the other 2 watches come into the picture?
