JJ0531 ("Jeff") seems to be a potential scammer. Despite his lack of activity on this forum and the recent join date (April 2017), he's inquiring about watches for sale. His grammar is quite odd too.

People often join up when they are looking to buy a watch, and strange grammar is pretty common around here. Scammers usually offer sales, anyway, rather than try to buy. We need more to go on than this, sorry.

Fair.

Strange grammar? That's unpossible!

Imagine that, a new member trying to buy a watch! Keep a close eye on him @vman!

Mods, please feel free to remove or close this thread. I do not have enough evidence except for the gut feeling that something may be off and I might have overreacted. Please accept my apologies.

(Note, for every listing I made on this site, I received messages from members who recently joined the forum and had zero posts. These folks were always exceptionally interested in my watches despite the fact that there was nothing special about the timepieces (no limited edition Rolexes here). In many cases, the conversations ended with "Will you ship this to some other country?" or similarly strange requests.)

Hey, I live in some other country (Australia) and we also buy watches

And me!
If your gut tells you no, just follow it, no real need to report it each time though.
I have dealt with many new members buying
Nust need to know the signs, like if they ask to pay by cheque, draft, money order things like that.
There is PLENTY of great advice here on the forum for buying and selling, you just have to have due diligence and research thoroughly
