Guys please be careful out there, someone is trying to offer watches for sale using a similar email to mine and even including a link to my website in his email signature.

also reaching out to fellow dealers with offers to buy watches from them with a COD option not knowing that we all work closely together....

please double check the email address always as one letter can make a huge difference. also feel free to call or text me to verify you're dealing with me
My cell is: 619-339-5645
my email is: sdwatches@gmail.com


Thanks

Thanks for the heads up. I had similar encounter in the past, luckily I noticed the bank details does not match. Take care everyone.

He just replied to my WTB ad as well. I knew something was off with his grammar so I did a search and found this thread :)

These scumbags are everywhere now days. Unfortunately it will never end. Communities like this certainly offer protection IMO.

Oh! That explains it! Well, thankfully, moments after you asked for my email - an email which i have only given out to a handful other, established, people on this forum - i received the email above as if a gift from the gods and will be hurrying to my bank anon to send the money. Actually, I have a feeling you -- sorry, i mean the mysterious person who somehow got my email and responded with a preposterously under-priced perfect condition offering seconds after you had contacted me and I had given it to you - would prefer Western Union?

BTW, this thread reminds me of my earlier inquiry: Perhaps there has to be some verification for those who want to purchase watches via TRF. Sellers must be pledge members. What about making being a pledge member a requirement for viewing the for sale section? Or do not let people view the classifieds unless they have some posts on the forum.

I have not listed a single watch that did not result in some scammers asking me for more pics, prices, etc. Usually, it is the same game and the scam comes from a user who joined the forums a few days before I posted an ad.

Not a bad idea. Or perhaps requiring to be a pledge member in order to sell anything on TRF.

I would never in a million years post a WTB ad anywhere anymore. Too many scams and scammers. If I ever decided to wander from my AD I would just look until I found what I was looking for. Or call all of the big sellers and tell them what I was looking for.

Crazy world today.
