Potential SCAM!!!!!!
I was contacted this morning by 2 separate people from TRF indicating that my information was provided as a reference from a member that I had purchased a watch from them and that I would give them a good reference.
For the record I HAVE NEVER MADE A PURCHASE ON TRF!!!! Anyone that uses me as a reference is not being truthful. I have made contact with many members and I have had great experiences with each and every person that I have spoken with. Again I cannot give any feedback for anyone regarding a purchase because I have never mad a purchase from this forum. I have dealt with DAVIDSW in the past, but not for a purchase of any kind. They are very good to deal with.

It happened to me around a year ago. I reported it to the mods and the sender was banned.

I received an email this morning saying the same thing. It said I have a PM checking a reference for a Daytona for sale. There were no PM's in my inbox. The email is from user name Han2Han

Same here. User "greatstate1" in Dallas sent me a PM this morning and said a potential seller of a Daytona had suggested contacting me as a reference. He included a suspicious link, which I did not click on. I flagged the PM and now in appears greatstate1 is no longer on the TRF member list.
