It's been only a week and the package hasn't arrived. Is the first time when this happens ? I think that many users can confirm this ?
What a generalised word for this country. But in countryes like US/UK/Nigeria etc are dozen and dozen more and nobody cares, only to give an audience to the public.
This will be sorted out hopefully untill the end of this year.
Thanks.

Then where is my tracking number that works?
Where is the 1000 dollar wire?
What about the 2 other people that you have done a deal with on this same watch?
What about your suspended status on other sites?
I need answers - publically now - as you don't respond to PMs or emails

Let's hear the responses Alex??? Inquiring minds want to know.

I give him the thumb down ; op report him!

Can mods look what up what IP he's writing from?
OP have you contacted Interpol yet? Contact your local police and get things sorted out with them first. Then contact Interpol either by mail or calling them. Get as much evidence as you can. I hope this guy gets locked up and sooner or later he'll regret this.


Tony1 if you're reading this, I just want to if you're planning not to give it back or if you're about to run and hide don't because you'll regret it. This case will be brought up to Interpol and once they start investigating and begin this project they'll track you down. If you don't want that I happen you better sort this mess out.

We're talking about 20.000 usd.

I found this under the Romanian National Police website:

DRAGASANI

No. 55, Regele Carol Street, Dragasani
Telephone exchange: +4 0250/81.00.81

Chief: Police Chief Superintendent MAZILU MIHAI
Telephone (cabinet): +40250/81.03.30

You can also try contacting your local police force in the country you currently reside in and they can make a request through Interpol if you have some sort of concern.

Good luck to you.

[Lucky777]

Ugh....this totally sucks. I got ripped off by panamawatches.com last year and I can tell you not a day goes by I don't think about it. I really hope something positive comes out of this

[Laszlo]

I hope this gets worked out. Very upsetting.

[1proscoe]

I really hope this works out for the best, Ryan.

Thanks Ross

And here I thought stuff like this only happened in the cue world.

Hope things are going well for you and your family. Nice to see a familiar AZBILLIARDS face over here.

I hate getting robbed

Will post more details later, because I'm driving, but I'm also in the process of doing a trade/cash with him for the same watch as Ryan is currently doing with him. I already sent a wire transfer. We need answers.

Ouch!! This is awful! I hope this works out.

[slomo]

Hope this comes out well... keep us posted...

[Lol-x]

I wouldn't be 'waiting' around for any answers, I would be calling banks/police and getting an immediate freeze on funds in transit if that is at all possible.

This guy is now on the high-risk danger list....and his banning is imminent unless this situation is fully rectified today.

[zbrock06]

All three of us have a strong case against him, from a legal standpoint . The watches were shipped via UPS and DHL, so that is mail fraud as well. My best friend is an attorney, and has connections in the Pentagon, hopefully we don't have to go that route. This could be easily rectified if Alex would complete the deals or refund funds.

[southtexas]

^^^if You have already sent a wire transfer, I would get the ball moving now filing with the proper authorities. He came on the forum, provided a vague response, then disappeared. If nothing has transpired between you all (out of the public view) today, I'd say you have your answer.

[flyinbrian]

This is horrible as I was ripped off at the very begging of my watch addiction. These low life seem to thrive off this great community! I would support a legal fund to go after these low life.

[slm9555]

Also, if he is shipping a sub to you as part of the trade, it most likely will get confiscated by customs and you won't see the sub even if he does ship it to you.

[MP5]

Could have been very forthcoming with info as he took time to post though it seems doing nothing but stalling for time.

Oh no...

[skprd13]

This just keeps getting worse by the minute. I do hope it is a shipping glitch and nothing else.

[Presa canary]

Wow... If ya can't even buy from guy with good feedback on here... With all the scams going on it may turn in to ad only, or face to face for me. Op, I hope this works its way out, but it doesn't look good

There are some good traders on here but yes be very very careful.

Still wondering how it can be a holiday shipping glitch when the trader never wired the money, sold the same watch to at least one other person (who paid with a wire, as best as I understand), and answered this thread with a "no response" response, and didn't at least provide a corrected tracking number? Walks like a duck.......

^oh no.
Cld you cancel the transfer?

[MonBK]

Sorry to hear, if it was me I'd be on a plane to Bukarest already.

[zbrock06]

Now for my story....

No need to get on a plane yet, we have all his information, bank information, can contact Interpol, he will pay for his dishonesty.

I was contacted by Tony1 for a trade for his patek for my Tag + Cash. I was very cautious with the deal as I never trade with people first (for this reason), I am a standup person, tons of deals on BreitlingSource, previous deal on here, and 500+ on ebay. I gave him all my references and he said that since I had one deal on here he did not want to send first.

I could not do the original deal that was offered to me so I countered with a smaller cash amount which was quickly agreed by Tony1. After discussions for 3 days, it was agreed that I would send wire for a 1/3 of the cash amount. When the wire was received (3-5 days after being sent), Alex would send the watch via DHL express and I would wire remaining balance and send watch back same day. I sent the wire on the 19th. Alex has responded to most PM's within 24 hours and want to think that this is a simple mistake but it is beginning to not look like it.

Alex, this can all be avoided if you just refund the people their funds or complete the deals. I now notice that you agreed to 2 deals for the same watch. When I asked you about this, your response was brief, I have been in contact with many members about trades.

He also stated I would not jeopardize my reputation over $3000 or a Tag, It's very sad that you can not trust anyone (someone with 1000+ posts, long-time member, solid references)

There is another member that is doing a deal with him that will be posting shortly.

[Phil t 32]

This post makes me feel sick, I really hope it turns out good for you guys involved.

Looks like he was on here less than an hour ago and didn't bother to reply.

[HL65]

Tony1 is now banned - See other thread.

Also to be clear this guy is in Romania, has been a member here for 1 year and had a total of 6 feedbacks left for him. He was not a long time member with long history and feedback. There are plenty of truly long time, well established, well known sellers with pages and pages of positive feedback. It stinks it happened and people got burnt. I do hope he gets caught and there is resolution.

[Chewbacca]

what a bloody shame this whole mess is.
