I was scammed by Drand - took my money & never shipped

[thereeses]

I sold my GP Laureato in order to do a rebuy of a DJ 126200. I wired $7160 to the seller, Drand, on the Rolex Forums. I'd been emailing him about this piece going back to November.

Then after selling my Laureato, I wired him the funds, it took 2 days for him to receive it, he acknowledged it, and was going to ship but had to take son to hospital. We still stayed in regular contact, brought him home on Sunday and was going to ship on Monday. But couldn't do to holiday and he emailed me that and that's the last I've heard. I've emailed numerous times and he's ghosted me.

He has a presence on Rolex forums and this is a listing of his watches...
