Scammer alert!!!
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!!! |

Try to offer some FaceTime calls and I’m guessing he’d decline those as well.

You may well be right however in my opinion calling him out with the info you supplied is light on facts.

Assuming you mean watchmeout3, he was banned a couple of days ago and listings removed.

Ah, thanks Adam.
The work you and the Mods do are a "thin cyber line" that protects us all.  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
