Dear Rolex Forum,

RE: SELLER - TRF Member - ROLEXSPORT FRAUD!!

In the past week I had attempted to purchase a ROLEX Submariner 5513 from SELLER -
TRF Member - Rolexsport

Name - Hieu Tran
Address - 11758 E Louisiana Ave, Aurora CO, 80012
A Detailed Receipt of what I am selling and what it includes -
Rolex SS Submariner 5513 Factory
Reference Number: 5513
Serial Number: L557845
SERVICE PAPER JUNE2012 WITH 1YR WARRANTY, ORIGINAL REPLACED PARTS, FACTORY WATCH

SELLER Banking Details:
Bank Name - JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A.
Bank Address - 1627 S Havana St, Aurora CO, 80012
Routing Number - 102001017
Account Number - 637258227

The Final Agreed price was USD3750 including International Fedex Overnight Shipment.

I have transferred the funds to his account in Aurora, Colorado, the details are:
Date Transferred: 24th July 2012
Western Transfer Code: 1443918036
Sender: Timothy Lim Seng Tuc
Receiver: Hieu Tran aka. Rolexsport - Email Address: [email protected]
Total Amount: USD 3750 and Immediate Transfer Fees: USD150.

In the Western Union Sustem the FUNDS have been marked as COLLECTED.
I had gotten 2 email messages from Rolexsport SELLER -

25th July 2012:
"hi tim, yeah i stopped by earlier and filled out the paperwork and all but they said i needed a license and a passport for anything over 2k dollars so it's gonna be a while before i can get a passport because mine is expired already so it's up to you i guess if you wanna wait?"

25th July 2012:
"hi tim, well sorry about all that then, never knew they mad such trouble about having two ids, i went to another western union after work to see if they be easy but they say the money was withdrawn already so i guess we're done... gl on another 5513 and i'll just try to sell it to somebody else... thanx"

After receiving these 2 emails I had informed SELLER Rolexsport that I have lost interest as there are too many delays. As per his emails above he claims to have NOT Collected the Funds, but after confirmation from RHB Bank, Malaysia and Western Union I have be informed that the FUNDS have been collected.

I have the supporting documents from both Banks prooving that FUNDS were transferred and COLLECTED.

The only way there could have been a system error would have taken place in 1st Bank location visited by SELLER - Rolexsport and clarify with Bank that FUNDS were not retrieved. SELLER has avoided or ignored my numerous emails.

I have ONLY one option which is to assume SELLER has Run OFF with the Payment Funds.

I hope that as Administrator of the Rolex Forum you can help me POST this Tragic Experience to ALL Members to avoid any FUTURE Frauds.

If possible send me any and ALL information on the SELLER Rolexsport so I can pass to the US Embassy in Malaysia for them to further pursue.
