Watch out for user titoly202

Username; titoly202 sent me a PM stating he is fascinated with a gold Daytona but wanted me to look at his current collection and listed a few models with a link to photos.

When you click the link it takes you to a page that looks identical to the sign in page here on rolexforums. I assume if you were to sign in they would capture your credentials then it is game over.

MODERATORS Please disable user titoly202 I can forward you the PM if you would like.

Glad to hear you figured it out.

You should report this directly to a Mod or Steve himself ASAP. Just go back to the PM and click Report before this scum fools some other member.

He’s been banned for awhile today.
I really wish that members would start correctly reporting these things.

There is already a sticky for this type of exploit. Don’t click on links.

I meant with the instruction to click the red triangle. A lot of people don’t understand this process.

Yep it took me following advice in the sticky thread to find the red triangle in the message to report it but it’s been reported correctly and I appreciate the advice. Once I figured it out it is a very simple and quick way to report scams.

Thanks. Tim

I’ve added this to the rules, for some reason I always thought that it was in there so I was giving members grief, my apologies. It is now listed in the rules.

No worries everything is a learning curve and I appreciate the work you guys put into this site to keep it running and a civil place to chat. Cheers, Tim
