Member jerry017uk , do your homework and proceed with caution(most likely a scammer).

[epc2]

Hi guys,

Just a heads up with this member, he has a few ads at the moment(PP,Panerai,Rolex) all from the last few days , he claims that he has references here, when you do a search he has 3 references and two of them have left references for a known scammer "Avihwatches".

So it looks like they are all the same guy , with low post count, short replies , and all have left feedback between them.

If you google "Avihwatches" you'll find some of his scams on other websites, and this guy "Jerry017uk" has a reference from "Armaniwatches" who at the same time has left positive feedback for the known scammer "Avihwatches"

"Kenjones" also left positive feedback for "Jerry017uk" and for "Avihwatches".

You can also see here that "Jerry017uk" left positive feedback for "Avihwatches:

So most probably they're all the same scammer.

Also if you looks at his ads, all of the watches have been pictured in different places , different backgrounds etc, most likely , stolen pics.

On top of that you know the drill , all the references have low post counts , Congrats, nice ,etc.

Be aware guys, do your homework , lots of scammers out there.

Great post - I saw this and also had my suspicions. $60k for a 5990 is also "too good to be true" pricing. Proceed with caution gentlemen!

[BisonHead]

Well noted, good work.

SH*T.

So Sorry to hear this.

[pdavila21]

I called they said I can call tomorrow when the wire reclaim department is open and ask for a recall.

[pdavila21]

But im getting good communication from him still also, contacted today and asked for shipping address and also said he ran late with work and will ship it lunch time tomorrow, so there's still hope.

Plus part of it was another watch on my end that im not shipping till watch is received.

[cop414]

Pedro, where is he claiming to be from? How are you communicating with him?

DO NOT LISTEN. Its delay tactics. If you have online banking try and cancel NOW. Otherwise call and talk to someone as soon as the bank opens tomorrow. Also contact receiving bank especially if they are an hr or 2 ahead. Speed is of the essence here if you want to have any chance of recovering your money. GL

He was banned, go to bank first thing tomorrow morning.

[Bonobuds]

C’mon man, I saw the same post, a 5990 at $60k? Easy pass.

Houston TX

[CorradoBrit]

He's using a phone number with a New Hampshire area code. Not always a red flag but should raise eyebrows. Plus he's been very prolific with ads on TRF, Paneristi, WatchPatrol and Chronocentric recently.

The bank wire info was for tx. And the address he asked to ship the other watch to was also TX, so we'll see. Wire transfer department is closed have to wait till morning?

Where did you even see a phone number?

[1665fan]

Jeremy Gerald I was talking to him to

[1665fan]

He gave me 3 references and two had 11 posts and one had 21 posts....super red flag. Says he is in Houston TX

[epc2]

Listen to Corradobit he's gaining time he won't ship you any watch it's a common scam method ,go or call your bank first thing in the morning.

I bet you he's not from Houston either.

If you check the references he had on the Who's who section all were from members with short replies, and all left feedback for a Banned member("Avihwatches") here and on other forums like Paneristi, it's all in the first post of this thread.

Also his first post here on TRF was "Hi from the UK" and now he's telling you that he's from Houston.

Here are the references :

I guess mods will also ban these members, I bet they're all the same scammer.

This.......................you better start the process of getting your money back before its gone. I would be the first customer walking in the bank in the morning.

Sorry man but you’re money is long gone.

Then why is he still being strung along by the scammer?

[epc2]

It's incredible how these scammers do everything they can to pretend they're real , after doing some more research.

Check this :

That's a thread that Kenjones, one of the banned members posted in 2016 showing a Milgauss that he received as a gift from his father in law(that's what he said)

The pic was stolen from a ablogtowatch article back in 2013:
http://www.ablogtowatch.com/rolex-mi...-watch-review/

All that info was here on the forums ,with a few mins of doing some research these scams can be prevented.

Be safe guys and always buy the seller.

[Humble michael]

Wow , why ,why , why - would anyone wire transfer money to someone they never met????And then someone says that if it is a scam why would seller string buyer along after wire is sent. Wow- hard for me to believe and harder to hear my friends being sooo gullible. Op , I feel so sorry for your loss and yes you need to do everything possible at both banks to get wire reversed immediately but sadly your money is very likely gone.
Dear friends in the times we live in you absolutely MUST protect yourself!!! Use a cc ALWAYS for payment no matter who the seller is !!! I don’t care if the seller is Theiry Stern ,I will pay w my AMX. Period. Just this one rule will solve every one of these problems that come up on the “watch out” forum. Yeah “buy the seller” but use AMX for payment. Why is that so very hard to understand ? Sorry I really feel so badly to read posts like this- so unnecessary- please learn from this and the guy last week who could return a $10000 Rolex and the seller wanted to charge a thousand bucks “restocking” fee! Guess what? Had buyer used AMX one phone call to dispute the charge would have solved the problem. I hope the next time someone wants you to wire money you will simply say,” my financial advisor told me never to wire money , so let’s make our deal with AMX “ Please consider this friends. Thanks for reading. James in San Antonio Texas

[BisonHead]

Did you recall the wire?

His comms are to put you at ease, till he has the money from the bank in his hand.

Still getting comms then he hasn't got the cash yet, once he has the cash then no comms. As CorradoBrit has pointed out.

[Humble michael]

Yep -Mr Bison is absolutely correct :-)

[rolexinfl]

So did everyone report all these accounts? Are they all banned?

[dxbtousa]

Hope its not too late for the guy in this thread to get his cash back.. absolute scum people
