That’s a turn of an event.

Time for you to do business with a real dealer. Not some scammy loser on the Internet. You seriously did some Matrix stuff right there

[Pattyb69]

WOW! Great news and happy to hear you got your funds back.

A similar thing happened to me back in the day on a Subaru forum. I got scammed out of $1k worth of parts and the scammer did the same thing to 20 or so members. We managed to build a case with the FBI and got him locked up for 2 years. I never got my money back, but it was nice to know he lost two years of his life behind bars.

I would hope that everyone on this site would read this story.

Thanks for sharing it with us, and I’m very glad to hear you achieved a happy ending.

My bank is guessing that there is some kind of fraud lock on their account that made it reject and it just took 72 hours to cycle back. Major lesson learned...I will NEVER wire again!

That's honestly the best news I've read all day, and I've read some nice things. Very happy for you, and even happier that the scammer was stopped dead in his tracks.

Having said that, I'd like to thank you for calling @Jizzle01 out, and given that he's a pledge member, I think it'd be prudent for all the mods to investigate his standing a little further.

The user name doesn’t dictate much unless it’s “watchscammer123”.

Ooh is that one available?

Can you still spend an afternoon and report what you have to PD?

I don't even wire to the AD.

[TruthBalance]

Excellent news to end your day indeed. I’m happy it worked out for you. Thanks for sharing.

[whitelightning]

Congrats and glad you had a happy ending. Now, if they can just find him and lock him up.

[Jim Smyth]

You dodged a bullet there, good for you.

[RW88]

Happy you got your money back. I would still file with Martinez. It may help someone else that isnt as lucky

[Bladeshot]

OP, I am so happy to get to the end of today’s posts and see it turned in your favor. Wow! Thank goodness!

We all need to exercise due diligence and be cautious. I have some TS on here that i deal with regularly and they are 100% solid.

Stay alert. Be skeptical unless you are working with one of the very few long term sellers on here. That’s my opinion.

[reddog4063]

Davidsw does have a daytona for 21k just listed tonight.....make it happen with those returned funds!!

[Joeguy]

Congrats!

Good for you, lesson learned.

[Seibei]

I hope you get the watch you want.

[Exploradori]

I blame Rolex with their stupid games that forces enthusiasts to go to back alleys to get the watches we aspire too. Yes, from time to time something will go wrong.

Buying a Rolex is now a terrible experience. That's a fact.

I can't argue with that

No, not a fact. I've bought three of them recently from a well known TS. Never had an issue.

[Paris92]

What an interesting read. Congrats for the lucky ending here.

Haha thanks.

Some ADs have really high customer service/business standards. They're great when you deal with them. Others fall short of that by varying levels.

The problem with paying (especially pre-paying) for a particular watch via wire is that if the AD doesn't hold up to their end of their own deal, the only way to dispute the transaction is to take them to court. Ick. No thanks- I'll opt for the credit card company's protection.

I have had endless issues with American Express and Capital One over fully legitimate disputes and chargebacks where I was either not delivered something for my business or the item was damaged upon arrival or broke within a couple days of ownership. I’d hate to see how they treat a $20k+ watch transaction. I find them to be like insurance companies where they’ll find every excuse to not take liability. Have you ever disputed a charge higher then $500 with a CC company?

How does one do a reverse picture search?
