SCAM: Andrew Brauze, [email protected]

[116710er]

This guy is advertising a black dial Explorer II Ref. 116570 for $3500 over at Chronocentric. Once I contacted them via email and asked for his best price, he lowered it to $2500 immediately and wanted a wire right away in order to hold that price. I said I wanted references and he basically danced around it getting mad that I didn't "trust" him...LOL. He then said he'd lower the wire to $1000 and that I could send him the balance once I received the watch and that he was putting a lot of trust I'm me...more LOL...

I said I'd be willing to do Paypal and he said his Paypal account kind messed up because of a refund he was trying to do...yeah, right....

I asked him to give me his wire info and address and that I'd have some LE contacts look into it to make sure everything lines up and that he's legit. He gets very irate at this point and says I'm trying to scam him. I tell let him know that I have over a decade of solid purchase and sales references spanning several forums and eBay and I'd be more than happy to provide them....he calls me a lowlife and stops responding...

The name he used: Andrew Brauze and Kim Summers
Email: abrauze01 at gmail.com

Also said "Kim Summers" is his step daughter as he first used that name to respond (first of many red flags). Also, the name "Kim Summers Watches" is photoshopped onto a evaluation sheet that was done by Pomerance Boutique in Essex, England but states that he's in Texas. No serial number (full or partial) is show in the ad. He has a extra link and a extra case back in the pictures but never mentions it. So many red flags...

Here's one of the picts:
