Rolex Scam? Need help to ID photo's owner

This one is difficult, the owners name is difficult to read and if we can get some feedback on the name from the forum we may be able to take care of this.

Seller info
shaleneb2006 ( 23)
100% Positive feedback

They just call it a Rolex sub, no model number and no year.

Thats no problem. When you headed home. The bl. sub is what I'm looking for and I prefer to buy in person. I have cash so we can both be secure with the transaction. Will you sell it to me?


Lets see what he has to say about that.....

Funny...I am new to this forum and just happened across this thread. I have been in the same situation several times and each time I ask myself why I even bother to write when I know the offer is a scam.

Human nature I guess!

And here is the response...

"I am actually at home caring for a sick family memeber at the moment.Not entirely sure when I would be returning. At the most, it would be 2 weeks. What were you thinking as far as price?"

Tell him the price is his freedom if he continues with fraud, wire fraud, copy-right infringement, and a host of others. It could be a S*$tstorm.

Hi all - i am new to the forum (got burned on a red sub recently, but hopefully all working out - but i am very sensitive about these eBay postings now!)

I saw this item on eBay earlier (and this post) and sent a request for photos - got the same answer above that he is carinig for a sick relative. He sent me a note earlier today that he will send more detailed photos later this afternoon - let's see what we get.

I have said it time an time again stay away from Ebay and use David or Steve here at TRF! They are the best and they will not screw you.

We only highlight Ebay here to show what poo you can get into and try to stop it.
