Strange

I received a private message through this form in the way of an introduction to a business in my area. it directs me to the following web site:

http://www.24krolex.com

The website looks unprofessionally put together and a good part of it is still undeveloped. The introduction email was poorly composed. I cannot really nail down the service they are providing but by the looks of it they are offering to gold plate your stainless steel Rolex. When I look up the address it directs me to a student residence building in the university campus; just the building no exact address such as a room number.
I have to ask myself what kind of person would gold plate a Rolex and who would hand over their Rolex to an outfit like this?

Thanks for the info and I will take your word for what the site looks like, but definitely not the smartest to click on a link from someone you don’t know.

It seems as of recent lot of phishing going on on this forum people trying to steel account etc.

Not saying that is this and maybe just is a business, but I might change your password just Incase.

A random PM with a link is most likely a phishing scam. I’d change your password and inform the mods ASAP
