Canadian Scammers
All,
So, it looks like the scammers/thieves have hit the watch forums even more now. Apparently works as a seller and a buyer. Be careful of a gent named Alex Johnson 3484 Boul Des Sources Dollard-Des-Ormeaux, QC H9B 1Z9 Ph: 438-777-1792 Alt: 514-245-9321 or Jordan Allan 1235 Notre-Dame West Dorval, Quebec H3C 0B1 Ph: 438-777-1792. Only common thread was that he's up in French Canada and the phone number. Example... http://forums.watchuseek.com/showthr...ar#post1219357 Jordan Allen contacted me about purchasing a watch from me and sent me a bogus check that looks real authentic. Was very evasive about address when I pressed about his address earlier for shipping reasons. Careful TRF members. Not only buy the seller, it looks like you have to buy the buyer. Steve |

Both address are business address, with fully functinal business at those locations. Not sure how the perp would have pickeds up the watch if it was sent. The 772 # is a tyelus number, and is owner lives in the Berri Street area near the Autoroute off St Antoine. It is a older part of Montreal. More detailed info is available but that would end up costing me coin to dig further. Frankly I would take the bad cheque and send a copy to "Surete de Quebec (like the gestapo but meaner) and let them track him down.

My understanding is that the address are UPS stores. Or something like that. The person probably watches the tracking number, sees a package arrives at the UPS store and then picks it up. That's my thinking.
When I asked the scammer if the address is a business or residence, his response "It is a business address but like a residential." I was thinking of sending an empty package and have the police wait for him to pick it up. Or, better yet... tell the people on watchuseek.com who sent him $3300 for a SeaDweller to go find him there. At the end of the day, I got lucky that my intuition told me something was wrong about this transaction. He was elusive about sending his shipping address and was more willing to send an overnight package to send a check which is more expensive than a wire transfer. Lots of little things like this bothered me, so I did my investigation. I'm lucky to have my watch still and not have a charge back 4 to 5 weeks later and have to come up with the funds. |
