Icon8 Ragna93

I attempted to buy a Rolex Daytona Panda from this individual and have been totally scammed. I dont want to mention the amount but its in the five figures and the tracking number he sent me yesterday turns out to be fraudulent having just got off the phone with USPS. Ihave informed him that he needs to refund my money but has gone silent on me. He also has another watch for sale under Ragna93 a GMT Master II. My hope is that he is banned on here and I can get some advice as to what can be done to recover my money. Buyer beware.

I’m not trying to throw salt on this wound but that was likely a hacked inactive account. I looked at it before it was banned. Join date 2016, last post was 2018 then started again in late 22…total of 12x posts, no feedback history would have been a hard pass and should have set off alarms. The Daytona was listed for 28k, trusted sellers have them for 29.5k.

Does this person use [email protected]? I had approached him regarding the GMT. Was supposedly out of Florida.

Sorry this happened to you.

How do you hope to get the money back if sent by bank wire? The only cases I've heard of this happening are when the culprit himself is somehow identified and gets scared returns the money hoping to avoid prosecution. With how busy authorities are these days they won't generally pursue a case where there is no loss.

I'm not sure what you mean by no loss? I have lost a substantial amount of money and the FBI has been in contact with the fraudsters bank and let them know whats going on.

I chatted with him too and got fraudulent vibes. He gave two references on here and I felt they were sketchy references too, particularly one. Happy to share this info with mods.
