Wording is literally identical other than price quotes to the one I received allegedly from Tony Gehia a couple of days ago. Dirt bag’s getting lazy.

Someone is impersonating me! So Please Read This

Wonder how this particular scammer is correlating a TRF member’s e-mail addy with that member’s screen ID...

For example, the email text is same except the salutation is personalized.

This is the email I received this morning.


Happy Holidays, I was wondering if you would be interested in a black dial Daytona 116520 SS V series in MINT condition w/box and complete papers. My cousin shipped me the watches for me to sell for him after running into some financial problems and needs it sold urgently. He is only looking to get $8,500 which is a great deal for this watch. The watch is practically brand new. Also has a Omega Aqua Terra 150m/ Stainless steel case with a rose gold bezel on a brown alligator leather strap for $4,500, AP Royal Oak Volcano for $14k and a AP panda dial for $16k.
Let me know if your interested. I won't be making a single dollar on any of these. Figured I will email some friends and recent /old clients of mine that are in my email before listing them.

Regards,

Thanh Do

404-975-2072

Contacted Takuya and he confirmed it wasn't from him.

This is the email the scammer is using. .bithanh.84l@gmail.com

Again I NEVER send out any offers like this

I ran into some awesome deals on a few watches and was wondering if you would be interested. I have a stainless steel Daytona 116520 black face V serial in mint condition and complete for only $13k. It's a great price on a great watch, I'm helping my brother in law find a buyer for it as he's wanting to unload a few of his older pieces.

Also selling for him is a platinum AP ROO 26401 in mint condition and complete for $44k and a Rolex Submariner 116610LN like new and complete for $10.5k. If your interested let me know. I'm emailing a few friends and past customers of mine to see if there interested before listing these watches

All buyers be aware. Do not get scammed and DO NOT let this affect Thanh.

Based on the steady stream of people coming here and complaining how they got scammed, I think the scammers can safely assume we are pretty stupid.

I wonder if it would behoove you to switch to an email address where correspondents wouldn't have to notice whether there is one underscore or two? That is pretty subtle. Just a thought!

IMHO and with respect, I’m scratching my head as to why an established business owner would still be using a Hotmail address for business purposes- more so when forwarding is easily set up. Makes absolutely no sense to me- keep it under the business URL and take security seriously, especially with the dollar amounts involved.
