Ebay scammer rvargas021

Contacted andrew lavaud out of new york about his hulk sub on ebay (ebay item # 110991550670) we agreed on a price outside of ebay i paid him through paypal. Yes i know i"m the idiot he sent the invoice through paypal so i"m somewhat protected. Needless to say he said the watch was shipped over night but he " was in a rush to get back to work and didn"t get the tracking number" long story short the watch never showed up and his ebay add is still up for the watch!!! He's cell phone number is 347-223-2575 his email is [email protected]. He actually has the watch he sent me pics with the watch with my user name and the date written in the backround!!

Ebay item : 110991550670
ebay user name: Lavaud2323

he will tell you that he wants it sold out of ebay through paypal because ebay will put a hold on the funds since he hasn't sold in months! His feedback is 100% with over 30 transactions but the guy is scammer!!!

Wow man, sorry to hear about that. I hope you are able to get your money back. That is why I don't buy anything big off of ebay. To many scammers.
Hope it all works out

eBay and Paypal won't help as much as they would have if he bought through eBay.

we agreed on 4800 he took me for 2400 and i would have wired him the remainig 2400 after i got the watch! I know I'm the idiot and can't believe i fell for it. Ive bought and flipped quit a few watches and I'm still laughing at myself for falling for this scam
