D4UK Scammer!

Warning I just completed a transaction with D4UK going by Dowayne Thompson and using email D4UK2006@gmail.com and was scammed! He posted on this TRF forum for a omega Speedmaster watch, negotiated a deal with me, provided a reference and even a picture of my email with the watch then took my money. He sent me a certified envelope with a blank piece of paper as the watch. Upon contacting him he said it must be a mistake. Please watching out, he provided a reference from this forum from dbonddentist who said he was a reputable seller.

Be careful of D4UK!

Luckily I got to my bank quickly while he continues to ask me to wait. First time this has happened to me on this forum in 10+ years

Exactly. Sorry, but OP and no one being careful had any biz messing with this. I’ve said it before I’ll say it again: takes two for these things to happen

Well learned my lesson. The bank couldn’t get the money back to me and has already sent the funds.
Terrible experience and will be on the look out for this scammer.

I would never bank wire an unknown person money directly for a purchase.
Worth it to use a paypal purchase invoice and have considerably more protection.
