My Self Esteem
My self esteem is really starting to take a beating. Not a single scammer has contacted me, or otherwise tried to scam me out of a watch, or my money. No one has sent me a phony phishing link to click on. No one has tried to sell me a fake watch, or even a real watch that they don't actually have. What am I, chopped liver? Am I invisible? I feel like such a nobody.
Seriously, this forum is such an eye-opener and it seems to be getting worse all the time. Many thanks to all of the contributors who really know their stuff. Such a minefield. Let's be careful out there. |

Stay strong. Yes, we have awesome sleuths watching over us, as long as we don't stray.

Well just post a few watches for sale in France and I can guarantee that you will have scammers contact you, the funniest was when a guy wanted me to come with my Daytona 116515, and 3 Pams, to a restaurant in a very bad Paris neighborhood, funny that he didn’t want to come to the bank, wonder why...
I feel bad for the guys who fall for those kinds of scams, losing your money is one thing, but losing your money and your life or spending a long time in the hospital is another and really sucks, but some people are amazing, remember this American who sent to Romania, a 40k watch and was supposed to get back 2watches and cash, of course nothing came. I don’t understand how people can be so trusting nowadays, it’s crazy. Consider yourself lucky if no one tried to scam you |
