Of course we are all against bad people. I am not going to get tangled up in the silly annalogy you brought up.

I am simply suggesting it will be very difficult to convice a law enforcement agency to do anything that would help anyone at this point. If you have an actual direct response I'd love to hear it but don't waste time with any more of your "get real"s or strawman arguements.
Does anyone think the OP has this person's real name or traceable phone number?

This is why scamming will always continue to occur. Unwillingness to make a reasonable inference in the face of obvious facts to keep yourself and others safe.

Want to share my first watch buying horror on the forum, feel free to leave your input!
I have been looking at the ss Daytona panda 116500ln for a little while. But the hype price is hard to take easily. Until yesterday, I saw a listing on the forum sales section, a 2019 dated card, new condition panda caught my eyes. The seller asking $24.250, but willing to accept 23k offer by me, poor me. So I went to bank to "wire". Then story began here: bank teller told me the sellers account is invalid and inactive! The teller would not say anything further, bc I am not the account holder, and told me to contact the seller. When I explained my reason for the "wire", the teller clearly told me twice "go home think about it". So, I right away messaged the seller and ask the reason, he offered me another account of his business . But he quickly messaged me again and told me the business account is closed by the bank again.... After all these drama, I decided to follow the bankers instruction "go home think about it" . The seller had called me a couple of times and message too.
This morning, he started email me again, and tell me to "wire" to the 3rd account , 100% guaranteed. I declined, and ask if he can take paypal, he gave me interesting reason: his paypal is closed bc his bank account is inactive.... Once again, new strategy here, he emailed his Driver's licenses and offer me "wire" him 60% of the watch so he can ship it out to me . I can complete the payment when the watch arrives...
Of course I reply him with the biggest "NO" in my life.
By reading his posts on the forum, I can easily feel his is a watch lover and have some collection of Rolex and PP... talking nicely like a gentlemen. But I feel terrified for what happened and about to happen to me....
Lesson learned today, hope this will go away quickly in my mind, everyone stay "SAFE" !


.

Please disclose the name of the seller!

I suppose worthwhile to also share the drivers license he used

I think Old Expat Beast named him upthread in the form of a question.

Thanks! I saw that but was not sure because it was a question (as you wrote) concerning Protour2003. It does not really help if he creates a new account.
