What have I done

I just wired thousands of dollars to someone I've never met, only emailed a few times and talked to once for less than a minute. That was based on the advice of people on a forum I have never met and may not even be real. If a friend told me he had done this I would laugh and tell him not to expect a happy ending.

Yet, I have no regrets and expect a positive outcome. Now for the wait.

You are insane and have made the biggest mistake of your life.
How could you do such a foolish thing?

Do you not know that once you buy 1 Rolex they never stop coming?
You will be in financial ruin soon

I couldn't agree more. I've got three and now feel like I'm satiated. My next will come when I graduate law school in 4 years, think that'll be the 18kg one, nice Segway into the next chapter of my life.

Congrats and post some pics!!!!

Haha. I did the same thing the other day. Isn't that crazy? David is a sure thing and I never had one moment of worry.

Wise way to get what you want, save $$$ and trust you will be pleased.

Congrats

Someone on this forum wAlked into a Wells Fargo bank on the other side of the country and deposited $7,000 into my bank account without ever meeting me, just from talking on the forums.. Some also gave me a patek and let me pay the balance which was $3k when I got it.. This forum has the greatest people in it.. I am sure a bad apple strolls in every once in awhile but you can't let one bad apple spoil the whole bunch..

You'll be very happy. David is one of the best here. I've never done business with him but I wouldn't hesitate to.
