Hey guys,
For those that didn't read my thread "Shipping to Malaysia". Be careful when shipping your Rolex.

A guy in Malaysia offered to buy my watch. He was willing to buy my watch without talking to me first.

I didn't go through with the deal. The "spider senses" told me that this deal seemed wrong. The information the buyer sent me is listed below:

Alger Anderson
# 2, Jalan Tembaga SD 5/2
Kawasan Industri Sri Damansara,
52200 Kuala Lumpur
Malaysia
Tel : 60166753743

My wife (God love her) did some research on watchnet.com and found this:

BEWARE !!!!!!!!!!! Aug 10, 2007 - 08:45 AM

"Davies Russell" sent me a phoney Bank of America cashiers check. Bank said there was no such account.

Davies Russel
# 2, Jalan Tembaga SD 5/2
Kawasan Industri Sri Damansara,
52200 Kuala Lumpur
Malaysia
Tel : 60166753743

The same address, different name.

Glad I didn't go through with it. Be careful when sending your Rolexes. Get to know the individual that's buying.

That's the way to do it, Ron.

What was strange was that his individual wanted to send the money via electronic transfer. Which means I would have sent him my account # and routing #. What could he have done with that?

Never deal outside the country. You can usually verify the account inside the country. There are lots of cashier check scams. I heard story where the bank thought it was real until 1 month later, come to find out that it's a scam. So even deposit into the bank, sometimes can go wrong.

Really scary out there! Lots of scammers out there!!!
