Icon4 WARNING: Someone impersonating Sam Hui (Valle de Joux) ...

hello, i received the following e-mail today ...

Chris,

Hope all is well. 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. I guess he ran into some money problems (loosing one of his homes) and needs it sold urgently. He is only looking to get $8,000 which is a great deal for this particular piece. I don't need anymore Daytonas at the moment or I would add it to my collection. The watch is practically brand new. Also have a Zeitwerk in white gold for $39k, Omega Aqua Terra 150m/ Stainless steel case with a rose gold bezel on a brown alligator leather strap for $4,700, AP Royal Oak Volcano for $15k and a AP panda dial for $16k that I'm selling for my relative as well. The prices are marked low because my relative is losing one of his properties and needs to come up with a large sum of cash asap.
Let me know if your interested. I won't be making a single dollar on any of these. My relative told me to sell them for the prices I have them listed for so they sell fast. Figured I will email some friends and recent /old clients of mine that are in my email list before listing them.

Regards,

Sam

Thanks, Chris for the head's up! These unscrupulous thieves need to be caught and turned into the proper authorities! Do your homework before buying from ANYONE on the internet these days; ask for references, ask for a phone number and search for feedback on any seller before you send any money!!

And then there is a "Victor Cepeda" who died a couple years ago, so that's probably how the bank account is set up--- stealing the name of a somewhat recently deceased sudden death person... I'm surprised with the KYC stuff in place, banks like BOA can still be part of scams too.
