Good work guys. The awful thing is that these people usually get away....next time say nothing call the police and if there is a process that has to be followed let them arrest these scambags.

Why can't the person who signs for a bogus watch transaction be prosecuted? I mean, if someone willingly accepts an item that has been obtained by fraudulent means; i.e. internet scam, wouldn't they be held accountable as an accomplice to said scam? I would LOVE to see some of these lowlifes go to jail or PRISON for theft. I am so sick of these POS ***holes and I believe they have gotten away with too much for too long.

If only everyone thought like you and I. These scammers piss me off because they make it hard for people like me that want to use paypal to legitimately buy a watch.

So let this be awarning to all. No matter what email you get about $$ received, ALWAYS check your paypal itself to make sure it is showing up.

Oscar,
Did you get burned by this guy?

Man, I try to read up about the low lifes in this section, but in the end it simply makes me sick to the stomach and raises my blood pressure. I suppose in the end we all simply need to keep an eye out for one another, and be EXTRA careful.

I did a few google searches on Wire scams, and it is crazy! Scarry Crazy! I can't imagine the scams that some of our own big TRF sellers are probably faced with daily...

UK Telephone numbers

Please not that any UK numbers begining +4470xxxxxx are not standard UK mobile numbers, they are "personal numbers" and almost always associated with fraud of some type, if someone gives out one of these numbers always ask for the final destination number.
