Tuesday Lionelle aka Christian Sweat Scammed me

I just received a box of junk in lieu of a Submariner from this scammer. Be on the lookout. Their emails are roxie292@hotmail.com and landonheart@ymail.com. The phone number they call from is 910-232-4106. They are based in Wilmington, NC.

I've contacted the proper authorities and am having this straightened out...such a headache!

Be careful out there!

Thanks guys, I've got him pegged down. Let's just say this wasn't a very sophisticated scammer...

Looks like this is the year of the scammers

Hey guys, this wasn't an eBay deal. It was a direct sale from a guy with bogus references. I'll let you know the details as it unfolds, but all that needs to be said right now is that my money is back in my account and they are being prosecuted to the fullest extent

It's funny how some people think that everyone is just a pushover and won't pursue charges

It appears that other forums have removed threads that refer to this gentleman, not just this forum. Hopefully it's because a deal for return has been worked out and not that these forums were threatened (Pirate 4x4 also removed their thread). If it has been returned, let's hope it is a turning point in the young man's life.

Glad it worked out. If enough scammers get what's coming to them, maybe more people will buy and sell with integrity.
