At this point, we are still going forward with the Warrant, until we have certified funds in hand.

This is really great news. Thanks again for keeping us in the loop.

Really great news.

[cyglee]

Even better news when he comes through with payment and resolves all this... confusion. Robyn, welcome to the forum, even under such circumstances.

[Sose]

Robyn, thank you for your updates. Best of luck.

[flyinbrian]

I appreciate any info saving someone from possibly being taken. Thanks Robyn and I hope you recoup your funds.

[GolfPunk]

Great info - plus if you get this sorted, your boss might give you a well deserved raise

Robyn,

I want to THANK YOU for posting this warning and notifying other members. After checking info presented/available, it is 150% clear who's on the right side of this.

Also wanted to apologize for some of the members' skepticism and caution. You had a rough welcome to this forum, to say the least - and I truly appreciate you weathering the negative remarks and sticking to it. You have done us a great service by outing a scoundrel. Thank You. I, for one, would love it if you choose to stick around and maybe visit less hostile waters in the 'Open Discussion' section.

Lastly, cannot help but to express disappointment with some of the members here. Picking out spelling errors when much more important matters are at hand? Looking for ulterior motive for the first post even AFTER it became mostly clear which party is the 'good guy'? I suggest you guys ease up - when someone is doing a service to us, we need to be more appreciative. In some cases when empty accusations are made, this sort of skeptical response is warranted - but we cannot grade everyone by the same curve.

Robyn, I want to publicly apologize for my own actions, Greg doesn't need to do it for me, that's my job, not his. I am sorry if I doubted you to to begin with I am just a skeptic by nature. If I offended you then I truly am sorry, it wasn't my intention I was as I stated before being skeptical. I now believe you only had the good of this forum in mind when you did what you did and not the ill intentions I originally believed. So, with that said I would like to welcome you to the forum as well and I hope you don't think badly of me.

Warm regards and hope to see you around the forum on a regular basis!

[robyn1870]

Warm Wishes for a happy holiday!! Hopefully my original intentions are clear now, and this all resolves itself.
I will post again once we have any information on Rolex1.

Maybe next time I post it will be to inform you all of a great watch we have coming up in a sale!! I have no intentions of being able to afford a rolex anytime in the near future, so I will just be a member from afar!!!! You are a great community, and I have no regrets joining this forum!!

X2!!! Couldn't agree more!

Welcome and Happy Holidays

[NCD1979]

I'm very happy to see that this ended well - all around.

[Pep04]

Is this going to start the trend of apology threads again?

Exactly.


Think before you hit the "submit reply" button and you won't have to be sorry.

[mr.briar]

Good luck, Robyn!! Hope all goes well at this point!

[SoCal C4S]

I just hope they get their money back. Tough break...

[Macfan]

Wow wow wow!!!

Robyn-
Thanks for your post. I am just reading this and have to say like Greg-Mosco I am disappointed by some of the repsonses. Thanks for the heads up and also hope it all works out. On another note--not sure what has happened to TRF as of late but the quality of posts and topics has been steadily going down hill--too bad. I hope that this new breed of lurker/member find a new forum to ruin. Sorry--that is the truth though. This place has been such a great place to build friendships--learn about watches--buy watches--and look out for eachother etc. etc.--let's keep it that way!

This is a crying shame. Has he at least tried to contact you folks again?

[robyn1870]

No contact since last Friday when he said he was "going to send payment". Paperwork is still in progress for the warrant. Obviously this is not a person who deserves to be trusted on his word, so we will not rest until money is in hand or the authorities take over!

A bounced check is a criminal act, after a warrant is signed by a judge. The civil issue regarding funds, and a signed promise to pay via check. That is in itself civil until the legal system decides otherwise. You then attempt to recoupe funds by certified mail, and then it becomes a criminal event for the funds. Just like a person who buys groceries, and the check bounces. The groceries aren't stolen, but the promise to pay has been comprimised. * The groceries aren't considered stolen.*

Once the items are considered stolen by the DA, and a judge, you may go about recovering the items. This is like a forclosed home, or a car repo. The owner isn't guilty of having a stolen house, or car, but it isn't theirs to keep.

I'm sure people are concerned, and understand the seriousness of your loss. I would however ask that you produce some form of legal document for us to work with.

As far as the bad check goes, that information is good, but should also have something more to validate the accusation.

Just understand that there are plenty of people who have joined the forum, and made accusations that were damaging to the member. It would be better to share something that is a little more than a vague scenario for the members to answer by assumption.

I'm glad you did come forward to share the details to help prevent something further.
