Sale of Rolex through the guarant service

[akili_2000]

Hi everyone!
I need your advice.
One girl wrote me that she wants to buy 2 my Rolex watches. I sent her an additional photo with a paper of her initials to prove that I have it. After that we agreed on the price and she offered to pay by bank transfer. I agreed and gave her information for the transfer of funds . After that I received an e-mail from the payment company that makes that transfer. But I have never heard a such suspicious messages. I attached photos of these messages below.
Have any of you ever heard or cooperated with PLATINUM INVESTMENT TRUST BANK? I didn’t find any information about it, but only their site. What do you think? Is this another trap of fraudsters?
Hoping for your help. Let me know what do you think. Thanks a lot.

Nope, no way. “Proof of shipment to finalize payment”. A bunch of red flags, but this one is on fire!

[SS Oyster]

I would in NO WAY trust anything from this person/bank. Looks completely wrong.

Looks legit to me!

The entire message is written by someone whose primary language is not English. Do NOT proceed or deal with this person anymore.

Found the site. Now I have to clean my phone. No way I would trust this one.

[PO 2500D]

No, just no.

100% scam.

The English use in the text does not feel right. This looks very suspicious to me.

No way I’d agree to an escrow that I’d not know of.

Stay away…. Besides, since when can she send an “officer” to collect the watch? And now make sure your home alarm is always on and your watches are secured - hopefully you have not shared your home address.

Scammer. Don’t sell to a stranger if you are not in the watch business. Sell to a reputable grey dealer.

[brandrea]

Nope.


I’d contact your bank and have them them let you know if the funds have cleared and are in your account before shipping anything

Investment Trust Bank scam comes up #1 in a Google search!

Only ship when you have the money on your bank

Def looks like a scam and thread moved to Watchout, but the fact that someone's primary language isn't English doesn't make them more likely to be scammer. I'd say most scam attempts on TRF are made using perfect English, and usually from the US.

OP, if this is a TRF member, you can put the name here and I'll check it out.

Send a box full of poop and see what happens. Confirm she gets the hood and the “fund” stay lol

Only way you should ever consider sending anything, is if you can veify funds in YOUR account.

Stay away!

[Humble michael]

Scam, scam scam!! Do not send until funds are in your bank , period. What a joke! Glad you asked us . :-))

[GGGMT]

This one is a really close call, but I’m leaning toward scam?

i haven't ever heard of a 'platinum investment trust bank,' hence sounds fugazi to me.

if it were a large global bank, would be easy enough to verify.

i'd stay away from this one.

If they've agreed to forward you a pre-paid shipping label, that could be fun...

Its a scam the buyer will always ask for your email to send the fake confirmation of transfer.

[1William]

No way.

[17911s]

Yeah, NO!

[Nick9]

It would be tough to find a more obvious or more often used scam.

The old “fake wire payment” trick. Hard to even imagine that it still works, but so it goes.
