I sent email to a member here name “igotvalls” some how I got responded by someone with a name “lgotvalls”. We made a deal through phone call and text so I sent him my deposit through Zelle and wire the remaining balance, I guess I was lucky that the wire bounced back to me from his Wells Fargo bank for some reason. Stupid me for not regconize the different username. Here’s what I know of this scum

Name: Gin F Amars
Address:624 E st
Petaluma CA 94952
Routing:121042882
Account :127833331
Email : ginamars13@gmail.com

Zelle name: Francis Lopez

I am ashamed to even say this but I don’t want to see this happen to others. Lesson learned from me.

The deal was for a 116500LN for 22750 which I sent 3 total payment through Zelle for deposit of 2750 and 20k wire. Too bad you can’t request your money back after it delivered through Zelle.

Ryan no reason to be ashamed, you are the victim here. Your coming forward has probably saved one or more members from suffering the same grief. Thank you for telling your story.

This internet stranger is good enough to send you a watch, before you've paid for it ?

Does that not strike you as rather strange ?
Is he sending it to your home address ? Assuming he sent it by a known carrier- so you have a tracking number for it ?

And you're not going to get an email from a "courier" asking for sales tax, or some other monies to release the watch to you ?

Would love to know more details and photos of the watch once you have it in hand...
