Beware John DeGidio 602-373-8488 Minneapolis, MN
I hesitated on doing this hoping John Degidio would come through and do the right thing. On Wednesday, July 30th at noon I deposited $2,600 cash into his business acct. He operates under the BDA FaceTime watches. He has lived in Denver, Phoenix, and now Minneapolis in the short time I have known him.
I have done approximately 5 deals with him in the last year. I assumed he was safe. He offered me a rolex air king on the 29th of July. We agreed on a price and I paid him 2600 cash deposit. I also mailed him a fedex label from my account. I noticed the package was never shipped. I contacted him and he said it was too late and he would ship tomorrow (the 31st). I lost communication with him until sun August 3rd when he said he had surgery. More lies and bullshit and here we are the 11th of August. On. Thursday last week 1,900 was deposited into my account. He still has 700 of my money and again has fallen off the radar. John E. DeGidio is a liar and a thief. I still have no clue where the air king I purchased is and he has had two weeks to return my money. His email address is rolexandmore@yahoo.com. His phone number is 602-373-8488. Which I am sure will be changed soon. I have text him and called him numerous times to resolve this. This is the last thing I wanted to happen is whine on a public forum but do yourself a favor and stay the hell away from John DeGidio. Happy to share more info via PM. |

Sorry to hear this. I hope you get this resolved to your satisfaction.
I'm confused by why he returned only $1900 dollars. If he intended to rip you off, why wouldn't he keep it all .... Just wondering

It's hard to say why people do what they do but I'm tired of the run around. It's lie after lie. I never got the watch then I get a portion of the money. None of it makes sense. Either way this guy is dishonest and a sorry excuse for a "watch dealer".

It appears this guy has changed his phone number. He may still be using the rolexandmore@yahoo.com and sells in Minnesota, Colorado, and Arizona. Use caution.

Any update on this? I saw on another watch form that he said you were paid in full. Is that the truth? Maybe I can help.

Total bummer especially after 5 deals.
My guess as to why he returned 1900 and is still left owing you 700 is that he feels you may not go through the expense and use of time to recover a 'mere' 700 dollars; most lawyers would probably tell you it would cost you more to hire them than to recover the $700. Total bummer and hope you get your remaining funds back. |

All this for an air king! That’s the only model you can easily find in ADs. Why buy from a shady guy on the internet? I feel terrible for you!

John Degidio
John is a total scammer and thief. He sells knock off watches, rings, diamonds, etc....
He should be in jail for fraud and theft. He stole $5,000 from me for a diamond he never delivered on. |

Perhaps — but why don’t these folks google before [italics] they fork over the $$? Not condoning the fraud in any way, but so much of this conduct and the actors involved is publicized — this thread is a good example — that I wish the victims would do as good of due diligence before they invested. |
