Be careful when selling...

[bigwatchman]

This should probably go in the watchout section, but more people will probably read it here. I posted two watches for sale last week on TRF. In hours, I had emails about both. My SMP went to a great buyer and the transaction couldnt have been better. My other watch was inquired about heavily. The person claimed he was buying the watch as a gift for his son. He said he was paying but to drop ship directly to his son. I would have no problem doing so if the money to paypal transaction was legitimate.

Anyway, all weekend long we emailed back and forth. He was in the UK and I inthe US. I decided to walk away and emailed him so as no money had exchanged hands. Then yesterday, I get an email saying he had deposited money to me on Paypal the day before. I spoke with Paypal via telephone and nothing was received. I checkedby my spam email folder and there it was. A fake email trying to get me to divulge info for identity theft. Fortunately, I was smart enough to know I was being scammed. I also know to check the balance in my Paypal account before releasing the goods. Paypal was contacted and the email was forwarded to them. They confirmed it was fake.

I am sure it was an alias account, but if anyone is doing a transactionn with Raymond (Ray) Eastwoods, run, don't walk... His Email is [email protected]. I am sure this person is not a member here anyway.
