[**BEWARE**] Stalex is a scammer

Below is the summary of the scam done by Stalex

tl;dr - First ever transaction via TRF. Stalex and I agreed on a price over an email. He went completely MIA after wire money transfer has been completed. Still no follow-up for 48+ hours.
Already filed FTC, IC3 complaints. Planning to follow-up w/ police report on Monday.

• Title of listing as title of thread (unless there are multiple items)
https://www.rolexforums.com/showthre...0#post10404876

• The sellers name or listing number (makes tracking easier)
Below information has been provided via email:
Name of Account: Litha Nick Macon
Account number: 3112461102
Routine number: 256074974
Bank name: Navy federal credit Union.
Bank Address: 1240 E. 9 street Cleveland, Ohio 44199
Home address: 12611 Franklin Blvd Lake wood Ohio 44107_4907

• Reasons for your concern of authenticity or issues with the item.
Nick (under the user name:Stalex) posted a post on rolexforums.com: https://www.rolexforums.com/showthre...ghlight=114270 to sell Rolex watch model Explorer 114270.

I contacted him via the email noted on the post (stalexontime@gmail.com) and we agreed over the email on $4300 for the watch.

He first reached out to make payment via cryptocurrenty which I rejected as I do not feel comfortable dealing with cryptocurrency.

He provided his information including his bank account number, routing number & home address, etc. for wire transfer.

I wired the money $4300 (+$25 for wiring fee) on 4/03 and got a confirmation that the fund has been transferred on 4/06 from my bank and transferred to Nick via email on 4/07.

He said he will ship out the watch on 4/08 but he didn't; stating that his neighbors were going through a COVID-19 crisis (emailed) and promised to ship out the watch on 4/09 through his son (emailed) but didn't follow through thereafter.

I tried reaching out to him via email multiple times for status update as he said he will provide tracking number once shipped, but has not gotten any response for 48+ hours despite me constantly reaching out to him. I have all the email communication captured.
