**scammer alert**
*SCAMMER ALERT**
I always wondered how people get scammed and today I found out. Now before anyone comments, I know I'm stupid I completely agree, there were too many red flags but I was blinded by the watch. This will be written quite fast since I'm on work hour, but I gotta get it out because of how furious and frustrated I am that this happens daily. First of all his name is Justin Castylin (Not sure if he is a member here.. His FB has been suspended for some other instance) . Google him.. I should've before doing anything. That should tell you enough. Anyways, he posted a Vintage Rolex 1675 for sale (Either in this forum or another Rolex group.. I'm a member of a few groups and I'm posting this in all) and I saw it seconds after it got posted, and message right away. So I thought I got lucky. He agreed to my price, and we got to talking. First few flags, he didn't want to accept wires to his business account ("Owner" of www.butlercitizen.com, which doesn't even load up but it is known in his local community) or personal.. His reasons, his business account has $3 mill in it and his personal account has more.. And he didn't like to share "private info". Anyways, he said he has a Chime bank account which he was willing to share the info to. Finally, I got his info and went to my bank to do the wire. My bank (RBC) didn't recognize Chime and therefore had to put in all the info manually, and told me there was a chance of it not going through. Next day I was told it didn't go through, thank f****** God. Now the whole time he wanted to get the deal done asap as he wants to sell his business and liquidate all his watches and retire.. So he said he had an offer from Watchbox which he was willing to take and for some odd reason kept thinking watchbox will send him a cheque overnight. That's another redflag. Anyways he demanded a deposit. He suggest the app Xoom. So I sent him a deposit of $700 USD. It took a while for the deposit to be completed and this whole while he was getting mad at how slow the service is. Finally once it was completed, he claimed he received nothing in his account. He confirmed he sees that I sent him the money via Xoom but claims its not jn his bank account. So I said let's wait a bit maybe there is a delay.. All this while saying he doesn't wanna do the deal anymore cause no deposit has shown up.. Anyways I finally called Xoom and explained, they said he definitely got the money in the bank. They emailed me and asked for a bank statement from Justin, which now he's denying to provide because again its "private". Now claiming because I somehow breached his "verbal" and "written" agreement that if he even does receive the deposit, it is non refundable. Just wanted everyone to be aware of this scum. This is when I started googling him.. He never gave any references and finally gave me his eBay username. This is where I caught him initially.. I saw the watch was sold via him to username "tomsghost" a few months ago, and he even left a feedback saying that Justin sent the watch the sameday. I have contacted tomsghost without a reply yet. Justin claims that deal never went through and he still has the watch.. See pics. Sorry it was rushed but as I said, I'm on work hour and more proof can be provided.
