Sofodot - SCAMMER FROM UKRAINE - BEWARE

[schnipples24]

I purchased the BLRO from user Sofotdot, located in Ukraine.
- Since it seemed like a good deal, I made sure to use Paypal goods and services, and paid via CC. I figured this way, if anything went wrong I could always initiate a claim. I thought it they were a scammer then they wouldn't be willing to accept PayPal. I was wrong.

- Everything checked out, he sent me video of the watch with my username tagged, he had a couple other Rolex for sale, it seemed like he bought them at MSRP and was looking to move them quick due to the issues in Ukraine.

- He insisted that his wife would need to ship from Poland, since shipping from Ukraine was difficult due to the war.

- I paid on August 20th, $14.5k through PayPal for his BLRO.
- All correspondence was timely and nothing about the situation seemed suspicious. His wife shipped it from Poland, and I received it today via UPS.

- I recorded myself opening the box as I always do with high value purchases. And to my surprise, he sent me two random books to spoof the weight I suppose.

- I just submitted a claim through paypal, and am providing them with video of me opening the box and pictures of the books he sent. I feel like a complete fool, and am seriously nervous he will somehow convince paypal not to refund me.

- Is there anyway in which I don't receive my money back? Like I said I have literal video of me opening the package where I discover that he sent me two books instead of the watch, and pictures of the package showing what he sent, plus all correspondence where he says he will send the BLRO.

- Also, if you look at the invoice/customs forms, the description of goods/parts is:
2 ksiazki which is Polish for Book.

- Not sure if any of this is legitimate, but hopefully nobody else bought this from scumbag. I've reported all his for sale posts, hopefully no one else will get taken. And if anyone has any tips on how to make sure I win this dispute, I am open ears. This money meant a lot to me, and I am having a panic attack thinking that I won't be able to recoup it.
