Yes

[healer]

Here we go again.i hope you get your watch:(

[cop414]

Where did he say he was sending it from? The IP comes back to Seattle. Do you have an email address?
Contact your local police dept, possibly your state Attorney Generals Office.
I’m going to ban the account, this can be easily reversed if things work out.
Keep me posted here via PM

I couldn’t find the username because I typed it in as you had it with a space.

[Vksculptures]

Thank you all ,
He said he is from Hartford ct
Even bank account and address matches and has references
Sells Rolex and other watches currently
I will file all appropriate steps
Sad to loose 3k

Thank you all

Somethings off on this one. All seems somewhat legit from searching. All members seem solid. I would try to get a hold of them again.

[Notsoprobro]

Dug up his instagram - it's his TRF username with an s. @Kutimes

[Vksculptures]

He seemed so legit :/

[denmanproject]

Sorry to hear this

Did you communicate through PM here or through email?

[Notsoprobro]

OP - I pmed you some details I found. Hope it helps.

[Vksculptures]

Thank you for your great help everyone
At this point it’s no doubt he is fake and everything else is fake about him
I will file investigation with banks and police and I will find this guy

[Aquaholic_user]

Seems like he's a regular at NYC and NJ meetups. Maybe find him at the next one. Hope you get this resolved!

You going to answer this? Did you click on a link from this "seller", to have you sign in? If so it was a scam, highjacked acct.....

[Jim Smyth]

How did you pay for the watch? How long ago was it? You may be able to get your money back or reverse things if its quick enough.

[Vksculptures]

No I got his email from the forum for sale section

[CorradoBrit]

The grammar in the FS ads was a red flag. Kutime's earlier posts are fine which also suggests a hijacked account.

Good catch.

[Tools]

This appears to be a phished account.

The latest ads placed this week have a completely different email contact from any previous ads from the same member name.

It is very likely that you have not been communicating with the registered member.

Sad all the way around. Wires potentially can be reversed if done quickly. You still may have some coverage if you call your bank and explain what happened. Best of luck.

From my experience, at least here at my Credit Union, a wire from over a week ago cannot be reversed. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, and hope I'm wrong. But I wouldn't expect to reverse a wire after 24 or more hours has elapsed.
