Icon4 SCAM ALERT!!! This guy doesn't seem to be able to be stopped

Once again I have been asked if www.boxerbrianwatches.com is me. IT IS NOT ME!!!

Most guys who have been on these forums know that I go by a few user names. This was not done with any foresight into the future of more outlets or forums to use.

One's identity is vital to maintaining a good reputation, and most importantly being recognized as an honorable member.

This imposter uses a "949" prefix phone. Yes, this is OC California. This call goes somewhere unknown.
The address on the site is only "somewhat" accurate.
They have used past listings of mine, obviously stealing my photos (most recognize my photo studio). MOST ARE NOT AVAILABLE ANY LONGER.

Please know that I have contacted the FTC, and only received an automated response instructing me how not to be scammed.

PLEASE BEWARE!!!

Clearly a fraud site.


Ask Mods to either cancel all your listings and repost with a clear watermark across the images and post disclaimers on your ad copy that only YOU are the real briboxer and claim all images as your property.

I've perused your current listings and there's no mention stating you're the only briboxer and that you DO NOT have a dedicated web-store.


Protect your brand or lose your brand.

Thank you CJ. I appreciate your input.
It is tough to tell from which forum the images were stolen originally, but the watermark thing is for sure a good suggestion, and my mentioning of self identity.

So sorry to hear this guy is still at it Brian. Some people will stop at nothing until either the law or their wallet get involved. Zero morals and zero ethics. Hope he/she is stopped soon buddy!!

I live pretty close to that address. I could totally swing by and see what’s there.

Scratch that. That’s just who he pays to hide his real info.
