WARNING: Chris Devivo (scam artist)

These scams are getting more elaborate by the day.

I received a message from this gentlemen twice asking me to perform a similar tasks and the method in which he asked raised red flags. His first inquiry was for my 116610LN saying to set the time to 7:50 and the second was to put his name on an index card. I suspect he swipes your images and lists/shows them like their his.

re: 116610LN

"Okay. Would you be able to send me a picture of the watch set to 7:50? that would help to put my mind at ease as this is my first Rolex online purchase. I will transfer from my chase account. I accept your price and shipped. I am locate in Oregon. Please keep me posted with photos requested as I am very interested in buying.
Kindest Regards,
Chris. "

Set it to 7:50 and put the date and YOUR username if he’s not happy he’s BS

Hey everyone,

I just received a PM from Chris Devivo (eskimo12). Please contact him directly should you need anything. He did clarify that his account was being used by another person and he lives in NYC. Here is his message to me:

Hey,

A fellow member showed me this post, I am the real Chris Devivo - not a scam artist. Someone has been using my name and scamming people apparently.

I live in New York, work for American Express, am a law student, and founder of Club Patina. While I appreciate you looking out for the fellow forum members, I ask you to please indicate in your posting what is happening as this will affect my credibility as a seller. My gram is @clubpatina.

Sincerely,
The Real CHRIS DEVIVO

Maybe edit the title (or have Mods do it).
