Scammer alert!!!

[SJGrad97]

Hello RF Folks:
Please be advised that a seller who goes by the name of WATCHMEOUT is a scammer.
He has a Patek listed, which I wanted to purchase with a trade-in. He quickly agreed to the deal, but will not meet in person to finalize the transaction.

After I told him that I will not pay for the watch unless I have it authenticated, he stated first that he "might consider" meeting me in person and said he is in North Tonawanda NY. I offered to fly into Rochester NY and asked him to meet me there, but he said it is too far. Then I offered to fly into Buffalo and asked him to meet (North Tonawanda is a suburb of Buffalo), but his excuse now is that he is working.
He is offering now to have me send him a "deposit" and he would send me his watch for authentication.
This guy is a scammer!!!
