this was a long con perpetrated by the scammers where they hijacked ebay account :

rhino-sales

and built up positive feedback (assumed all fake; now removed) for the last 3 months on high ticket watches. so for anyone that glances at the feedback would think they're legit. then they list 10 to 50 watches on ebay at once with extremely good prices (e.g. RM 005 for $15k) and you see people jumping on the deal. ebay eventually will figure this out but it's too late. so far i know 3 people that fell for the scam and i'm sure there's more.

It seems that these fraudsters rely on the fact that law enfocement does not have the resources to go after internet shysters for fraud involving relatively small sums of money.Ad to this the fact that the perpetrators are conducting their "business" from within other countries that require assistance and cooperation from other law enforcement agencies to be caught and it becomes obvious that they will not be put out of business any time soon.

This is the dark side of internet commerce that thrives on the behaviour of those of us too trusting for their own good.Bernie Madoff proved just how difficult it can be for "blinded" investors to perform due diligence even when the facts are staring them straight in the eye

Buyer Beware !

Guys,

I noticed the last posting on this is in 2011. Well he's back. Buyers beware!
