AVOID berjz
I communicated with him via email and text. I asked for references. He gave me 2 and one responded (could be his partner- Dennis Garner --Gandxt@gmail.com) but I have had constant delays in communication and responses.

https://www.rolexforums.com/showthre...?t=799009--NOW removed.

He had one listing when I contacted him and about 128 posts. Then over the past few days, he added 2 more listings (now removed) for a Sub Date and a Batman.

This was a purchse for a 39mm black OP. He had photos and I asked him to send a video. He did send a poor-quality video of the watch.

I wired him the money. It took 2-3 days to clear. He says he sent the watch. He gave me 3 FedEx tracking numbers all of which are just labels created and no scan or shipment. Easy to create online. I asked for the watch to be shipped separately from the papers and tags. He said he complied but still no shipment. He said he would refund if there was no movement in FedEx. I challenged him as a scammer and of course, he took offence. I am embarrassed to be scammed. He never answers. Even from blocked numbers. He continued to list watches. He now has a date sub and batman. Name: Bernard Drina Doran. Phone: +1 (205) 287-2538. The address he told me is 9982A Hardy Dr, Creola AL 36525. I reported it to the police. Buyer beware. I know. I don't like to post bad things about people but this is horrible.

Never wire money to anyone unless it is a well-established and well-known brick and mortar store.

We see these posts here just about every month where someone gets ripped off from wiring funds to a random private party.

It is unfortunate to have this occur, but it is an extremely common scam. We all feel very badly when this activity gets reported here at the forum.

Hopefully, Law Enforcement can assist in some manner.

This is terrible

There won't be a next time with any private sales. IF EVER--I will be asking for photos of drivers licence and another government photo ID. He is a total MOFO.

Wow, I am always amazed that people,after seeing the experience of others,send a box of cash out before receiving and inspecting anything expect a good result! Really?! Yeah sure check them out , get photos of their birth certificate and blood type , then just trust them! Wow! And what if your “ trusted” and screened as well as vetted seller sends you a piece but forgets to send the stylus or in your opinion it isn’t what he said it was but he doesn’t agree?? What possible recourse do you have- oh I know - call the popo’s or start a lawsuit- have fun. All could have been avoided by simply paying with a CC. Sure there are some who will refuse- so what? Move on to the next seller , there are plenty who will. You have got to protect yourself and “buying the seller” is good but isn’t enough. Please learn from others experience. james in San Antonio Tx

Wait, you wired him $ upon two references that he provided?? And with 128 posts here? And he’s not a trusted seller here? As I’ve said before, buyers who do this provide the opportunity for scammers without which they don’t exist, and make this hobby risky for all.

I would go to every law enforcement agency available. Hammer him hard. Don't let up. Go online, post messages, do everything in your power to nail this scumbag. Be a royal PITA and hopefully you will get results. As others have said, never send money to unknown, non established sellers that can take your money and run. And even ID cards, drivers licenses and government photo ID's can be faked. Good luck to you.
