Question from a newbee: Should I buy a Rolex from this guy?

[mpkRolex]

I have been reading rolexforums for a while but just recently became a member. I am buying my first Rolex from a guy named Steve Ferraro. I found him and his listing on Watchnet.com. Does anyone know him or have done business with him? He seems to have lot of good reviews in the good guys section of watchnet.com and I want to trust him but wanted to check here before I do business with him.

Thanks

There are 2 Steve Ferraro in NYC one is ok and one is a scammer. So it depends on
who it is. I know one of them so please PM me some details and I can check if
it´s the good or the bad one.

I believe the scammer use the real ones name to do bogus business.

Jocke, thats the real Steve. He's well know on Watchnet and has many references. His email is correct, and he's a car-dealer in NJ aswell.

Thanks wolfgang427. I actually called him and talked to him. Seems legit.

Also thanks Jocke. If you hear from your friend pls let me know.

you guys are awesome!

I have not bought from him, but I know that he has a great reputation. You should be fine!

I have dealt with Steve and he is a honest seller. Here is his personal cell phone #, 1-973-699-6400. When you are trading emails with Steve just make sure the phone # matches up, if it does, you have the right one.

Again was it his fault or did the post office really mess up?

Stolen out of package while in Fedex international transit.

Some1 I know in Florida have dealt with Steve F.

Personally I haven't.

If there are 2 Steve F. I would be very careful.

I bought my 1st Rolex, a K Seadweller, from Steve Ferraro in NJ about 8 months ago. It arrived promptly and was exactly as described. I was nervous, but it worked out well.

Sorry guys, I don't think it's prudent to post someone's details on the Internet without that person's explicit consent. Please observe people's privacy. BTW there's something called "pm" in this forum.

P.S. You can post a link to a web page that shows his details - no problem because he gave consent for his details to be posted there, but copy/paste it elsewhere is not correct.

Hi guys. I think I might have been scammed by someone pretending to be Steve Ferraro. I was sent his feedback information and the email was the same as stated here but at ymail.com rather than comcast.net

Please any info would help me! My email is pbubsy at yahoo dot com if you don't want to post personal info here.

That's not the real Steve F. There has been a rash of scams lately by people masqarading as prominant sellers by using the same names as them but with slight differences in the email and paypal addresses. Be careful and double check references, better yet talk to them personally before sending any monies.
