Hi everyone!

Unfortunately, this has to be my first post here, but I am cross-posting in the event that it does pop-up for sale either in it's original or some modified version of what I have lost.

Well, I hang my head low as I join this community and type out how I got scammed, even though I had taken (almost apparantly) every step to protect myself that I could.

I really don't care how we look at it...I was either scammed out of my watch, or out of the $6,500 for my watch...but if I am to believe TD's stance on this, I am only out my watch.

Bottom line is this:
- Add placed for sale on Kijiji on Monday, May 25th.
- Person from Ottawa calls to discuss on Wednesday, May 27th, receive add'l pictures via text & subsequently negotiate price and arrangements
- I would only accept wire transfer
- He provided his drivers license to me (this will help if small claims court is the route I end up taking)
- I verified funds "transfered" to my account
- Independant courier arrived and I handed off watch set (have picture of courier with watch set)
- May 29th, funds were taken back from my account "CHEQUE RETURNED".

So the guy in Ottawa made all of the arrangements with me directly, while communicating with me while he "was with his bank manager", but what actually happened (that I couldn't see on my end) was that he had a third party in Montreal deposit a fraudulent/NSF/invalid cheque at TD Branch 4780 in Montreal.

I have all of the screen caps of discussion, Ottawa guys Drivers License & cell phone number (he has blocked me on his iPhone (blue to green))., the scan of the shit cheque, as well as all of my banking documentation.

I am currently waiting on the Fraud unit detectives from my local police office to contact me, and have worked through what I could at this point at the bank.

At this stage, I know I am out both the watch and the cash, but I would like to get this across the Canadian/US Rolex community as quickly as possible as I would hate for someone to get a great deal on my watch, only to have it taken from them when they try to service it.

Hit me up with any questions you may have, and here are photos of everything I had sent this scumbag.

**I can't post album links or photos as I don't have 10 posts, and I have no intention of spamming the forum to get there...but I have everything communicated**
