Scammer: Subs Subs

These guys are quick! I posted a watch FS yesterday and within 30min got an email from a person who ID'd themselves as "Subs Subs" asking me for a reference on a watch purchase. I replied to DM me on the forum and immediately got another email with further BS and a link to the watch he/she was supposedly buying. Obviously, didn't click on the link, a very bad practice these days. Had a similar experience recently on a knife forum, a seller sent me an email for PP payment that was intercepted and replaced by a fraudulent email that came to my inbox. Timing seemed to make the possibility of a scam improbable, but later found the legitimate email in my spam box. These people are lurking everywhere, beware!

I’m new to this forum but I almost fell for it. The usual fake references, different emails and names, refused phone contact. He has a few listings here and somehow will negotiate down to exactly what you want.

Moderators please keep an eye on this guy.

Thanks!
