william.l on Watchuseek using my name

Attention guys, there is someone over on watchuseek using my name. He's scammed a member there out of $5k.

I've just registered and my screen name is the same as it is here: William.L.

if anyone is contacted by them do not transact with them. I always provide my phone number and its 734-323-8821.

Thanks William.

In the future please make a Mod Report (triangle at the bottom left of all posts and Private Messages) so the sites management team can investigate and ban the scammer. Warning the community is important after making sure the scammer is no longer a threat to its members.

I am the victim in the scam and am happy to vouch that William.L. is a reputable person. I would recommend that if there is any doubt, phone call.

William.L. is the real deal and a reputable guy. If there is any doubt, I recommend placing a phone call. I was the victim he refers to above.

Will do. The post I made there was the first time I’ve ever posted or been on that site. I only do business on here. I just hope this never happens anyone. I feel terrible about the situation for him.

I have contacted an acquaintance who is a detective for my local police department and he told me to file a report for tax purposes but its not likely any action will be taken. I have also filed a report with the FBI.
