Another thread showing Jimly is a scammer

Recently Jimly posted a sale thread for a 2018 116710LN at a great price, I made the inquiry for the warranty card via the phone number listed in the ad. After a while, some low res pics were sent, of a BATMAN instead:





Notice how upon zooming in, his ‘name’ is at a different resolution than the rest of the pic?

I pointed out that out it is for the wrong watch. The seller said he’ll get me the correct one later. Later this was sent:



Once again low res pics, and notice how upon zooming in, the name has obviously been altered from the original picture.

Of course he said he can’t FaceTime. And upon reverse searching the phone number, it’s a VOIP, not registered to anyone.

Beware of fantastic deals.

Thanks Rollied. That's why it is imperative that you ALWAYS buy the seller nowadays. The scams are running rampant right now.

SMH. These scammers barely put any effort into their photoshops.

Thanks for the kind words, guys. Yup, immediate red flag was the low res pics, a quick zoom and things are obvious.

Definitely a scammer, I tried to inquire about a speedy from him and the pictures were crap. I tried to call him and got the generic voicemail, I texted him saying he needed to call me back. He promptly called me back and there was silence on the other end, then he hung up. He said he couldn't hear me, no way. Steer clear my friend!
