I had my watch for sale on craigslist and this guy named Shawn Michaels contacted me for a potential trade. He offered many Panerais and said he would provide many pictures after work. So I picked out a couple that I wanted to see. Sent from his iPhone, tagged in Georgia, same 678 area code as stated above. Talked to him on the phone, told me how excited he was to get my watch, described me how amazing Panerais are, to the detail!

So he explained how to make an invoice in paypal, he sent me one with tracking number and specifics, I did the same, they were for 2 dollars, we accepted and checked the tracking number he gave me and it says USPS (he said he would do FED EX) says 2nd day (he said it would be overnight) says insurance for 100 (he said it would be 5000).

Smells so bad of scam after I saw this, I WAS ABOUT TO SEND HIM MY WATCH BUT DECIDED TO JUST CHECK THE TRACKING JUST IN CASE, then after seeing the info didn't match I searched here and found this post on Rolex forums about a similar scam with a similar name.

Maybe I am wrong but it is just too coincidental.

Here is his info.

His name is Shawn Michaels, (678) 674 8990, [email protected]

confirmed paypal address but comes up to a different name: Alaina Mcclendon

Then the paypal address for shipping is:
Shawn Michaels
3655 Southside Industrial Parkway
Suite 103
atlanta, GA 30354
United States

IMO far too weird, and far too good to be true. And I just questioned him and I am not getting any reply.

As you probably know by now, that address is a cold storage facility near the Atlanta Airport - and #103 is one of the many storage units there.

You can search TRF using keyword "craigslist" to see what most of us here think about selling luxury watches there...

Thanks guys, yes very fortunate. I actually just wanted to entertain the craigslist option for local face to face transactions but in any case, glad I found TRF.

I am very happy and fortunate to be a TRF member.

Thanks!

CL can be a goldmine for used Rolexes, but you must be on your game...
