Possible scammer

Once again..I am not sure but the indications are pointing at the listing that Mhiggi02 has for a GMT is a fake account. I tried to report it but got a strange message back (sorry here for not fully understanding the in and outs of the system) that I had to wait 200 seconds for sending a report.

I looked over the previous listing the member had and in those they said FaceTime was available…in this one it is only an email and they used the name and added a zero to the gmail account. Mhiggi002@gmail.com.
I sent two emails to this address and got no replies. First one I asked for a FaceTime to see the watch in real time.

I also received a message pertaining to the date sub i just sold. Very weird choice of words in his message. He sent me a email and provided a TRF link of his "Collection" because they asked if i did trades. Nonetheless the provided link did not work. Most definitely sketchy.

He is claiming to want to buy one from me too.

He sending me a link that looks like a rolex forum address and takes you to a fake log in page hosted on a polish server.

Bad news

Same here. The link mimics this forum so you enter your username and password to record your credentials.
