Icon4 michaelopticwatches - FRAUD

Sorry to make a somewhat redundant thread, but I want to make sure it comes up in search results. Here is the original thread: http://www.rolexforums.com/showthrea...79#post3024179

here is the new scam they're attempting:
http://myworld.ebay.com/michaelopticwatches

And sure enough, here is their ID history:

michaelopticwatches Jan-26-12 Present
prestige-watch Jan-23-12 Jan-26-12
michaelopticwatches Feb-24-06 Jan-23-12

pretty clear cut, if you ask me.

you only need to take a look at the feedback - 4580charles with a convenient feedback score of 1, which is from this douche. also, why would you privatise a listing to the follow up a feedback comment with "Thank you IWC INGENIEUR AMG purchased. Hope we do business again." - complete bull, good scout

Well - in 2006 that may have been a genuine feedback. These guys take existing accounts over.
