SCAMMED for $10K....my story

[Sub993]

Not the 1st post you want to see from a new member but I came on here to warn everyone of a potential scam.

So my story goes like this.....

After saving for my dream watch a Rolex non date Submariner. I was finally ready to pull the trigger so I visited multiple ADs in the Toronto area. As you can imagine walking into a AD with ZERO previous purchases and asking for a S/S Sub gets you pretty much laughed at in most cases. I was even told by one of the boutiques in the city that they dont even get ANY S/S Sport models(totally BS, just to get me out). I was told by the majority there is no waitlists any more for any S/S watches. After being let down hard I figured, no problem I'll just go the grey market and NOT PLAY the games of the ADs. I only wanted a SubMariner No Date, so the market up wasn't like a Daytona or Pepsi.

So I went on to the WatchUseek forum 1 night and came across a FS post for a 114060 just like I wanted. After checking out 3 References, talking to the seller on the phone and going thru all 200+ posts of the seller, getting a pic of his license. I felt comfortable enough to wire the funds the next day.


Before I turn this into a 5 page post here is the link to my scam and since the actually sale post was taken down...

**I can't post a link since I dont have 10 posts, I will post it below once I can

I'm NOT writing this post for advice, I understand NOW NOT TO WIRE MONEY to a seller that doesn't have 100+ sales.

I'm just here to expose the scammer. The person I delt with with Lopez Osuna and the money went into Maria Osuna bank account, They are from the Pomona California Area.

So in the end lesson learned on my part, and I wish the horror upon NO one else. After saving up $10,000 CAD for my dream watch and getting my dreams absolutely crushed. I am in no position finicially to just plop another $10K down and buy a watch and move on.

I just hope my story helps others and exposes the scammer.

Thank you for your time.
