We are on it, I am very sorry this happened to you!

You need to file a police report ASAP. You may also want to report it in Timezone!

thanks everybody for being so sympathetic, it is my fault no question I was greedy to buy something cheap, but if you do, you have to stick to some rules.

And yes Steve you are right but got the watch or thought I did for $ 2,750.

Here is the full scope I paid him over paypal $ 2,750 that was the agreed price and he even refunded me the money because paypal would hold the funds for 10 days and he needed the money faster, I had talked to him at that point already 7 times and we would go back and forth with several emails so I assumed that this is legitimate (his daughter was sick need to pay for prescription medicine no insurance), how stupid can one be, right??

Still he sounded 100% genuine, photos that he sent looked great, paperwork matched but who am I to judge now, anyway lesson learned!! The good part is I have learned a lot and met on this journey so many nice genuine people that I will not have this experience ruin the fun of buying and selling great watches!!!

Again I really appreciate the support and will buy and sell even more now because there are more good people out there than bad ones.

Have a great night everybody

Oliver

it can happen to the best of us oliver..as you know I buy between 5 and 10 watches a month and I have gotten at least 5 or 6 fakes in tha last year alone!!
but thats why I use secure payment methods on any questionable watches and to date I have gotten my funds back on every bad watch..
but you are a good man buddy,and I hope you dont let this get you down..

Where is this guy located?

Do you have his home or business address? Make sure you have all documentations, and contact his local PD.
