Vansh Verma / वंश वर्मा / - SCAMMER
⚠️ SCAM ALERT ❗️
Scammer operating on this forum and Facebook: वंश वर्मा - Vansh Verma from India Faking to sell Rolex Submariner. All seemed legit. After a few video calls and exchanging IDs and details, I sent $550 as the deposit for shipping. Once he received the money, he blocked my number and Facebook. Now ignores my messages, calls and emails. No way to reach out to him anymore. No money, no watch. The guy was stupid enough to use his actual identity. Showed his real name, real ID, address, bank account, etc. Stupid me for trusting him and sending money. BE CAREFUL out there! Scammer's details: Full Name: |

Buying a watch costing thousands of dollars from India?
What could possibly go wrong? OP, Best of luck getting your ‘shipping’ deposit back from this turd.

Yeah, it was the cost of shipping. He was asking $10.5k USD for his watch that I was ready to pay. We video called and we both found this quote on fedex with proper insurance and everything. It was the actual rate. All looked legit and no red flags…
I almost feel sorry for this guy. He showed his face, his real id, and used his real identity. How stupid do you have to be to do that if you’re going to scam someone?? Like if it was that difficult to find someone in today’s world… I even had a guy from India reach out on Facebook offering me to track down this guy to give him a good beating… |

What leads you to say the scammer was operating on this forum?

He was showing me his profile on this forum when we were on video as a "reference" that he bought some watches from people here - to "prove" he was legit. The only thing is I didn't catch his nickname, nor did I ask. I didn't even know of this forum before as I don't sell or buy Rolex every day...
Again, it all seemed legit, so I didn't bother. :( One good thing coming out of it - I found this great forum for watch fans like myself :D |

I'd never buy a watch from India.
Sorry to say there are some countries where you're just asking for trouble. |

100% agreed. Definitely no more buy attempts from India. I never discriminate anyone based on their origin. So the idea of this being a scam didn’t even cross my mind. Certainly a great lesson for me.
The old saying once again proved to be true - if something seems too good to be true, it probably isn’t… |

Also $10.5k for a used 124060 isn't even a great deal. You can get them brand new from US-based, trusted sellers all day long for $12k.

Please do not send anything! This guy is a real scammer. All watches he’s got are stolen or fakes. You will only lose your money. A few people already contacted me since I started this topic. Looks like this guy - Vansh Verma - scams people all over the world. While using his real identity… what a loser…

Hi all,
Just wanted to say a quick thank you to this forum and the community here! Since I posted this here, I had 5 people reach out to me who were either scammed by this person (2) or were about to be scammed (3) but thankfully prevented it thanks to reading this post. It's good to see this forum serves the watch enthusiast community also in this way. Proud to be a part of it! |
