Icon20 Rolex Buyers or Sellers BEWARE

I recently sold a Rolex on ebay to a B. Wenzel out of Addison TX and he "changed" his mind and wanted to send it back. No Prob. BUT when I got it back it was not my watch ( damaged, stretched band,scratched crystal) and he got away with this thru Ebay. He is a fruad, a scam and a perv he wont stop calling and harrashing my family. His ex I talked to said he has done this many times. So friends out there be careful of the skunk!!!!

Two posts on the same subject? Why not just update your old thread?

Thanks for the heads up. Surely you didn't refund his money though?

Sometimes however PayPal imposes a holding period before you can extract/transfer the funds out to ensure the buyer is satisfied with the goods purchased.

Scammed on ebay

To all of you out there that read my post about Brad Wenzel out of texas, I only ment to post one story, but had a tech difficulty and posted two my bad. Any way yes I was totally screwed, paypal held the money for three days because I was a new seller and Wenzel was able to get his money back from paypal. So not only due I not have my original watch back but i just found out thru the jeweler I bought the watch from years ago that the box he sent back is a fake and the serial numbers don't match up. Whats a girl to do, I learned a mean lesson that there are people out there that like to take advantage of others. I also believe in karma and what goes around WILL come back to haunt him.

I assume you didn't sell this guy another watch so why start another thread?

Original thread from 6/17/10.

This guy appears to be a serial scammer. The Dallas GTG is meeting really close to one of the addresses he uses...
