Big scam..dont get caught up in it..

this idiot originally listed a broken t.t. sub for a 1k buy it now with a probable stolen picture..and this fellow lives in my same town so I told him we could meet face to face and I would buy the watch if authentic..well we talked on the phone and just by his street lingo I could tell this was a hustle,but I was still going to meet him and check it out,at the least I figured I could tell him to his face what I thought of people like him if turned out to be fake (which I already knew it would be)
then suddenly he wont answer the phone anymore and sends me an email saying that he doesnt want to be robbed and doesnt want to meet me face to face..but he says that he posted another watch with a 1k buy it now and if I buy it and send the money he will mail me the watch (when he is suppossedly only two stoplights south of me!)
so basically this creep has been made,so dont fall prey to this scammer..

I recognize that picture, I just can't remember who's it is. The pic owner always takes the pictures in the from of his house and is a trusted seller on eBay.

OP link was there 3 minutes ago and was sold. I looked back a minute later and it was "no longer listed"

Maybe the prodding made ebay act?

Good catch Steve, good work guys!

Nothing like a good prod in the listing to get some movement
