Id like to let everyone know of a scam thats going around.

I was contacted by a David Thomson
email [email protected]

He told me he wanted to purchase one of my watches and pay via bank wire.
okay normal so far so I provided my account info routing and account address.

He then told me to email or call his bank to confirm the details of my wire info. He provided the "banks" number and email. They are trying to phish for your birthday and other security type numbers such as the last 4 of your social security to gain access to the wiring account.

I thought it was important you are all aware of this potentially harmful scam

Be safe out there TRFers and if smells and feels wrong RUN LiKE HELL

I ended up spending a dollar a minute on my cell bill and got some guy asking questions that had nothing to do with a wire transfer
