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.

maybe scammers think you're cheap?

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

Thank you so much, Jason, looks good to me. I’ll take it! (I feel so much better now.)
