Is this Rolex forum DM a scam

Hi folks.

Sorry if posted in wrong thread but wanted to highlight a message I got inboxed here today. ASAP.

Feels like a scam and would rather share and be told off than someone else fall foul.

It appears the hyperlink but url is strange.

Yes, it is a common phishing scam to steal your login information then use it to defraud other members.

Scammed

Hello, I believe I was a victim of a scam. Where do I go in terms of reporting the seller? He has been a member since 2007. Not sure why he decided to run with my money now.

You should start by reporting the listing on TRF from which you bought the watch.

There is a Report button at the bottom line of the listing (a red triangle icon).




If you have trouble finding that, then start a new thread in this Announcements/Support & Questions section asking for help reporting the alleged scam.
