Watch out seller on Ebay!

the_consumer23 is complete scammer!

Joseph J Sampson
atlanta, GA 30307
404-983-5840

Was his invoice info!

He tried to sell the watch (New Submariner with ceramic bezel) on Ebay under (the_consumer23) with borrowed pictures from different forum/craiglist and claimed that it was his own watch. The price was too good to be true and luckily, I requested additional pictures with my name on the piece of paper. Apparently, the scammer tried to ask for these pictures from the actual owner of the watch. The actual owner of the watch (appeared to be one of our TRF members jizeal(Neil)) felt something was wrong, did his own investigation (why the requested name was absolutely different from the name of the buyer (scammer), googled the requested name and contacted me asking if I was buying the watch or not. Neil, thank you so much for being pro-active and saving me money and my nerves. Buy the seller AND the buyer

Ebay fraud section has been informed about those practices of that Ebay member .
We never know he may try this again on someone else . I"m not sure what they will do about it , but at least Ebay has been warned .
