Me too!

His email trick is pretty neat. In his initial email, he asks for more info, etc. The email includes a link to see his watch collection (which I didn't click initially).

After I sent email, I clicked link which returned me to TRF sign in page. Nope.

My email to him was then "rejected", with a "learn more" hot link. Nope again!

Same here. His email asks you to view his watch collection through a link. He repeatedly asked me to view it when I initially dismissed it. After I told him I wasn't going to click it, he went silent. Second scammer in as many days, so there seems to be a rash of them. The prevailing themes were accounts that blocked private messages (I'm assuming that would alert the real owner of a hacked account in some cases) and links in emails asking you to click them. Be careful everyone!
