Drster “banned”

Just noticed this for sale but the user is banned....why is the add still up? Was the account hacked? Seems to be a long time member with numerous listings..

Weird — it does look like he’s banned. Longtime seller, tons of great feedback, will be curious to see what’s going on.

This is the member formerly known as drster. I have a new account now. I was informed yesterday that my account had been hacked.

Logistically so how does this work now? Do you get your 1000s posts history back? Start over at 4? How does everyone know it’s the real Drster?

I don't believe this. Drster is from Chicago not Florida.

Something isn't right. If the account was hacked and Drster proved so to moderators, then why was the account not reinstated? He had a remarkable track record with thousands of posts.

He just moved to Florida, I've talked to him within the last 2 days. Now I can't vouch if this is really him, but yes he does live in Florida now....

It takes some time, it isn’t instantaneous. He has to wait for a call from the owner of TRF who resides in Australia, this process can take at least several days. These aren’t processes that are done fast. To your post you have no idea that Drster has proven anything to anyone at this point. If he has provided proof it’s up to the forum administrator as to when and if his account becomes reinstated.

The drster account is now mltworldwide. Notice it has all my old posts now. This was setup by the owner of TRF. TRF tried to give me my old account back but the scammer who hijacked it enabled 2 factor authorization so I still could not get access. I have nothing for sale now. I have moved to Marco Island, FL but I moved over a year ago and changed my location on my drster account. You will notice when I do sell a watch that my phone number and email are the same as before. I also have many references that can vouch for me. And I still have my drster account on Ebay, TZ, Watchnet and WUS to verify my identity.

So crazy, I wonder if there are groups of people targeting these dealers or if they get phised coincidentally.

I checked, drster is not on Ebay. There is no member listed under that name. Neither is mltworldwide.

The moderators seem to be sorting this out. I’ve switched to a password manager and TFA wherever possible and hopefully more and more members do the same to protect their identities. It’s been awhile but Mark is very easy to deal with and I’d definitely buy from him again.
