I've been scammed, beware
Hey everyone, I'm ashamed to admit that I've been scammed by martinjames192 for the purchase of an Omega Speedmaster. The seller stopped responding after payment was received. He was prompt and convincing with his communication and provided references upon request. I was naive enough to hold sellers and watch enthusiasts alike in good regard. Unfortunately for me, they are predators amongst us. I really wish I had read all the warnings and precautions before proceeding with a wire transfer.
If anyone has any information on who the user is, or any advice on how to recover my money it'd be greatly appreciated. I noticed he was banned recently so I assumed he was reported for similar fradulent activity. Hope no one else falls victim to this scammer. |

He is apparently still active. I was recently scammed by him for a Sub no-date. When I reported him to TRF, he was immediately banned. I will PM you about what the police have found out and are doing.

For the both of you... I would read through all oh his posts to find any identifying info. He recently paid for a pledge membership, maybe he left real info to admin that can be used for law enforcement to identify his true identity.

Wishing you the best outcome on this terrible situation your going through. There's going to be more and more attempted and successful scams everywhere, especially now.

The OP had to have been scammed prior to your report.

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that he was still active on TRF, just that he was still actively scamming people.

Got it, sorry if I snipped. I hate these jerks. He was banned March 19.
