So, the money is back in your account or still in neverneverland?

WOW! I'm glad you got your money back...I have a question too, I think David SW's account was hacked recently. He's a trusted seller here and I've even texted with him before. How could one be certain if doing a transaction with him (I'm just using him as an example that's all) that it's him and not the hacker.
I'm paranoid right now b/c I just did annual cyber security training with my firm and geez, I had no idea on some of these things...I'm afraid to connect to someone else's wifi using my cell phone now let alone wiring $10k. |

Have you tried calling their shop and speaking to David? He has a very distinct accent. I would try that route first, call his store and ask to speak directly to him perhaps? Maybe go to his website and use the chat feature on the website and voice your concerns?

I need to report another scammer JamyMC to a moderator. I don’t have enough posts to post a thread so can a moderator DM me?

I think the issue less about Donna canceling the check and more about getting you your refund successfully so that your complaint / investigation is withdrawn enabling her and her co-conspirators to move on to the next ‘opportunity’. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I had the same concern — just Call the store and speak with him or one of his associates, which I did. Hard to hijack the brick mortar phone line. Sent him a check and my trade on Rolex and got an amazing Panerai. He’s so solid. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I've purchased 2 from Tony and have sold 2 to Tony thus far. All on FTF transactions. One of the best easily.

Glad it worked out but I don't think it's the mods job to police transactions. If we were paying transaction fees to TRF, then yes, but we don't. If you want that, then go to Chrono24 or eBay.

For what it's worth, the pledge member page says this: This donation helps support the forum, its running costs and updating/upgrading. In particular the donations maybe used to fund the costs of mitigating malicious users and possible forum activities. So if part of our pledge membership dues are used to fund mitigating malicious users and possible forum activities, then it is the mods job to police transactions.

Bottom line: it’s buyers’ job — not the mods’, not the banks, not the FBI, etc — to pay attention to red flags, which are numerous and obvious in most cases. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Building anything custom dev-wise comes with a commitment to keep the feature up and running + creates technical debt. I agree that it wouldn't be rocket science but it's not like TRF is some VC-funded company with a massive dev budget. As dumb as it sounds, even a simple update from another plugin they are running or updates to the core software can break other plugins which creates layers of headache which I'm not sure a community forum is realistically going to bother with. Personally I think any time you do business on a platform that doesn't explicitly promise anything then it's your job to be aware/mitigate issues like this. I've bought/sold close to 400+ items on various forums including watches worth a lot more than a Rolex and rare vintage guitars...maybe ran into 4 or 5 issues total but it requires a lot of diligence. The four times I ran into issues were 100% me not being diligent enough - not the fault of the folks running the forum. BTW TRF doesn't promise anywhere to be magically free of fraud and it's impossible to keep a forum 100% fraud-free with a team of volunteers. They do a great job with the resources they have IMO. Again, it sucks you ran into issues and I was almost scammed last year too but it just comes with selling and buying online unless you're on something like Chrono24 or eBay (and those are dicey too lol). |

But, here again, I’m not asking mods to police anything. If 2FA were required to post a WTS ad, then it’s automated...they’re not doing the grunt work of policing the bad apples.

Thanks for sharing your story. If it helps one person you have done a great service. My heart goes out to Donna but it’s better she found out now before she got more involved.
It’s easy to question her naïveté but the heart can take over the mind very easily. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Well I hasten to add:use a cc , Amx for payment. I don’t care if the seller is the Pope! If at all the scams or even inadvertent sellers making a mistake this one rule will solve virtually all problems . I had a very well known seller on a $50,000 plus’s timepiece “forget” to send me an extra back piece that was supposed to part of complete kit. He said “well I will TRY to get it for you from person I bought piece from - it will take a couple weeks” I told him I wanted it wi 2 days or I would dispute w AMX $6000 of the charge to make up for the missing solid gold back. An amazing thing happened- he got it to me overnight! Had I stupidly sent a wire, I have no doubt the story would have been different.Innocent mistake? Maybe ,but my protection was assured whether I “bought” the seller or not. Do what you want but for me it’s AMX for payment even if seller insists on my paying the discount. I am not sending a box of irretrievable cash (a wire) to any stranger. Period. If it is an individual pp with AMX is the answer for me. If they say nope , simple- I will find another seller- there’s plenty who will.You must protect yourself! James in San Antonio Tx
