Mod,

I am not trying to promote other sites, but just want to spread the words out of this scam :

Thanks for the heads up!

"Someone was trying to scam me by making a deposit to my bank account and pretend it was a wire, of course he didn't get what he wanted, but I just want the forum to watch out for this person.

I am sure the name he gave me is fake, and the mobile number may have been disconnected by now.

His name is: Michael Kovacs, email: [email protected]

He claimed he is from Boston, and self employed (because I asked him to send me email from his work or his own company) as a trader, hence no corporate email address.

He wanted to buy 2 of my wacthes, total amount is $90k, and asked for a face deal but refused to transfer fund at his bank (happened to be same bank as mine) nor withdraw cashier check with me at the bank, and insisted on a bank wire.

Long story short, instead of wire, he has someone made a deposit and of course check was bounced rightaway because I called my bank manager to verify this deposit as soon as I saw it posted online.

I am sure this is not his first time, and he may have used different name and different email.

So, to all sellers here, please make sure your wire is really a wire before you ship your watch. "
