David Cote / Bitcoin Scam
Hi guys!
I posted in WTB and got a message from a long term member named David Cote. We moved to discussing over mail and he sent pictures of the watch. I was wary because he kept insisting on Bitcoin. I did a reverse google image search and the photos were from a deleted Ebay add posted by someone named David Knapf. I asked David about why the watch had been deleted off ebay, no answer. I then asked if he would sell the watch in person, he has since stopped answering. No idea if he is the actual well-regarded forum member or if his account has been hacked, but beware. |

How do we know this is the real David Cote and not the scammer still?? I would avoid this seller, personally. If you can’t trust him to protect his own personal information, how can you trust him with an expensive watch purchase.

This is the real David Cote, If i wasn't I would have been banned for life. I truly have no clue how someone got my information, It has been changed and it will not happen again!
