BEWARE of Christopher Taylen <chrisjtaylencpa@lycos.com>
Hi all,
Recently I am hearing a lot of frauds n scams, so I thought of sharing one. BEWARE BEWARE of the person named Christopher Taylen. This person tried to scam me with fake money orders issued by Moneygram ![]() ![]() He agreed to buy my SS Daytona and I sent him my bank wire details. Instead of Bank Wire he deposited MoneyGram Money orders in my account and the bank put a hold on my account in which he made the deposit. My balance became -$10,500 and finally bank told me that the MO's were fake and the bank also did shut down my account ![]() Thank god that this all happened before I shipped the watch and I was saved from being ripped. Here are his details n our conversation details: Ashutosh, Per our conversation, shipping address will be as follows at the end of the email... Keep me posted with the tracking number upon shipping, therefore I can paypal you the difference for overnight shipping. Thanks and look forward to receiving the watch.... Cheers, Chris Ship To: Chris Taylen 17595 Vierra Canyon Road Prunedale, Calif 93907 650-740-3829 work 714-854-2772 cell ---------[ Received Mail Content ]---------- Subject : Re: Rolex Daytona Date : Tue, 26 Aug 2008 20:24:35 -0700 (PDT) From : Ashutosh Parihar <@@@@@@@@@@@.com> To : Christopher Taylen <chrisjtaylencpa@lycos.com> Hi Chris, As per our conversation I calculated the UPS Next Day Air charge and it is coming $172+ tax.

Thanks for sharing mate. Can this be reported to the authorities? This looks like wire fraud. Shouldn't it be a FBI matter?

Good move Ash. His Cell number area code is from Orange County, CA.
Is he from TRF or other forum? Can you post his user name? Thanks.

Thanks for your kind words Richard!!! Luckily the bank detected the very next day of the day of deposit that the MOs were not legit.
