Any experiences w/ helo008?

I recently engaged in a transaction with helo008. I previously purchased the watch in 2016 from a prominent seller but recently decided to sell it. Although he hadn't been on TRF for long or has had any posts in the past, I got to a level of comfort to move forward and he secured payment via wire quickly. Today he received his package without the watch with signs that the packaging was altered and box was dirty. It was expedited and insured via UPS (box packaged, taped and scanned in front of me) and a claim has been submitted for an investigation. However, I am concerned about potential fraud.

Has anyone had any questionable interactions with him?

I posted in the other thread. Personally, having plenty of experience buying and selling online, I feel the entire thing is coming across as fraud on his end.

Buyer called the police to investigate, which was confirmed by the OP. Evidence points to a theft by the shipper. Accusing the buyer of fraud is a bit of a slander at this point.

Are you aware of the definition of slander? Me stating 'i feel the entire thing is coming across as.....' is my opinion

Perhaps we just agree to disagree on this matter? or do you want to chase down all my posts on the matter and attempt to counter them?
