SCAMMER ALERT!!! Bassethounds (Tristan Travaesier....or whatever his real name is?))
I am a fool for not posting this earlier....I believed all the lies that Tristan told me about returning my money that I sent him for a Tudor Heritage back in July. I am now out $3564 and will probably never see my money or the watch. Tristan (or whatever his name is?) is a liar, a thief, and an a$$hole.....everyone should watch out if you run across him in one of the various forums or on E-Bay. Check this out....he sold the endlinks that I bought from him on E-Bay, the whole time telling to me that he would send them and a new 93150 Rolex bracelet for my troubles....what a joke.
http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAP...ab=AllFeedback Not bad feedback for a liar and a thief...... Tristan did send me a package that arrived today, here is what he sent...it was supposed to have been a 93150 Rolex bracelet and 3 sets of Rolex endlinks.  Not sure if Steve will let this become a sticky since there have been so many problems with Tristan? I don't want anyone else to get burned by this guy, so but I also plan on posting this info on other forums. Here is the info that I have, not sure if any of the names are for real?? He instructed me to send the money wire to his wife's bank account. Agnes Travesier Tristan goes by. TRISTAN PAUL BOUCHEZ or Tristan Traversier He uses several emails. lilou.lautrec@gmail.com tristan.bassethounds@gmail.com He is supposedly from Spain, but I think is originally from Belgium? His wife is supposedly from France? It just goes to show that just because someone has good references and is an active forum member, it doesn't mean that he isn't a scammer or a thief. Do your homework and don't become a victim like me. I have been doing watch trading for over 8 years and have met a lot of great people, my $3654 is gone and that might be a setback for me, but I don't plan on giving up on this hobby that I really enjoy. BTW....I have over 50 emails that stem back to the beginning of this transaction, let me know if anyone needs more info. Thanks for the time and especially to Stevo for the use of this forum. Glenn |

Glenn, I am sorry for your loss and thank you for the headsup. Funny. I just checked. He seems to have removed all his items for sale on ebay.

Wow... Who wouldn't thought another member gets scammed.
What a bloody joke that package was. I'm so sorry that you had to deal with someone like that. I believe in "what goes around comes around, twice as hard." I'm sure others will share some recovery plans and hopefully you will get lucky. (now it makes sense why he was so good at pointing out E-bay scammers... It takes one to know one?!?) |

I admire the fact that you can still maintain your sense of humour under the terrible circumstances you've been put through. Gosh, I wish there was some way for you to recover your money. This is a terrible thing for anyone to do to someone else.  JJ |

Thanks JJ....I really don't know what else to do besides laugh
 about this whole adventure. I am very upset about losing the $3K+ dollars, but I also know that I am on the other side of the world and have no way of recovering my money. If he was in US I would have already contacted the authorities or boarded a plane by now. I am just glad that I didn't commit to another watch purchase thinking that this money was going to make it back into my account.

I still can't believe he sent you a damn wrench!
I would have hoped he sent you nothing at all, but a freakin single wrench! Not even a complete set.......Just a stupid wrench.............. The nerve of that guy! |

Maybe you could return that wrench in the flesh and put it to good use. The internet can be a very small world and fraud is still a crime in most countries. I'm very sorry to hear of your loss.

Anyone know if there is any type of FBI in Spain or France? My credit card company was able to recover the $500 deposit (sent through Paypal) I sent on the watch in early July.
Thanks |
