Watch out! Scammer fishing. PALmer

He is trying to get my info. Her is the private message he sent. Link looks like TRF login but is a different site.

Message: Reference check on a TRF member
Hey there,

I'm writing to you regarding my first big purchase, a Rolex GMT-Master II 126710blnr from a TRF member, The seller indicates that you can vouch for him to be a trusted seller.
The price is below market price and the seller has some past history posting on the forum, So I was curious and thought it would be worth the due diligence.
He gave me two reference emails to contact, the other is very positive about the seller. Here's the listing, If you're curious about it on TRF.

Your reply is highly appreciated!

Thanks.

Hey everyone - just a warning that this phishing may have compromised legitimate accounts. I just received a message about a watch I’m selling from what appears to be a legit user (4 year old account, Pledge member).

However the PM title is just the title of my listing, and generically is saying they are interested in “your watch” and also asking to respond to a suspicious looking email as they “Don’t check PMs often”. No questions about the watch, or even mentioning the watch make/model in the message besides the title.

Don’t want to put the potentially compromised account on blast in case it’s legitimate but mods / admins feel free to PM me if needed.
