Watch out! Trf member scam!!!

[drgleeds37]

I have a 14060M for sale in the sale section and I received an email from mrhills0146 and he said that he would take it but wanted to ask if I was the same member from this post...When the link was clicked it put me right on the "your not logged in page" but I'm always logged in so I checked the URL and sure enough it wasn't TRF . Total scam to get my login credentials so that my user info could be used to scam other members. Always make sure you know who you're dealing with and look carefully before giving up your info.

unless the member kanger - really has relocated to the Philippines, and is selling an air king for 875$, and sending me completely different pictures of the "same" watch, he has this problem you speak of... and is currently a scammer.

[drgleeds37]

Not sure if the Mods can check every PM sent by the people scammed but this thing is going to spread quick, it's very convincing!!!

[drgleeds37]

TO REITERATE, DO NOT FILL OUT YOUR INFO IN THE LINK PROVIDED!!! THIS IS TO SHOW MEMBERS HOW GOOD THIS SCAM IS, PLEASE BE CAREFUL

This is the actual PM that I received from another TRF member.

Hi,

I am very interested in your watch. Are you the same guy from this thread:http://www.rolexforums.com/showthrea...28#post2665069

Also, send me your paypal info.... I probably will take it.

Thanks

Make sure that you warn everyone that you know on the site.

Hi just about to do the deal with kanger on the air king and just looked at the watch out section thank god I did just about to do western union transfer(need my head testing)reported back and said will only do paypal to US bank account and he did not want to know (all that glitters ain't gold)

[dysondiver]

beware of anything with a money gram , western transfer option.

[BeekerMuppet]

I mailed him about the AK too. Luckily, I will never use Western Union though. Bloody scammers.

[bayerische]

Is "kanger" aware? He is posting... Or someone is posting with his user.

[Matdaytona]

What about the other watches kanger has for sale is the real kanger in outer space

[InVision]

I reported it to Stevo.

I got this message last night...

There seems to be another victim:

Read closely. Use of the same words. Also a 'ding' on the watch....

[DAVIDSW]

Has to be the same person as this

http://www.rolexforums.com/showthrea...hlight=babylon

From Georgia...

He sent me a PM as well.

[InVision]

Update - I believe the link (now dead btw) went to a site which asks to you enter your TRF username and password to enter. It captures it. Like I said I reported it.

Mike

Also it would be advisable to change password immediately if you clicked on any links associated with user "hills0146".

better not login!

[swatty]

Thanks for the heads up I hate scammers

[Andelain]

Wow, thanks for the heads-up. I sent emails about both of those watches, but haven't heard back from either. Hope the real McCoys can get thier accounts back.

I just got this PM from the person posting as watchcollectorca. Apparently he's hanging out with 'kanger'...

I am in the Philippines right now for the summer and my bank account is in Canada where I live, I do not have one here. So cannot do no wire/paypal as I will not have access to the funds. Are you okay with sending me payment through Western Union? I have many references and feedback if needed.

Let me know and I will give you my info.

[DAVIDSW]

Just spoke to William (watchcollectorca) He cannot access his account as it has been hacked so PLEASE DO NOT SEND HIM or "KANGER" any money. Hopefully the account access will be restored to the correct owners soon.

Is it possible to get those listings removed?

Or better yet, get the scammers removed.

[Andelain]

That too. I reported the listing by watchcollectorca, with the info about him supposedly being in the Phillipines.

[bayerische]

Watchcollectorca just supposedly sold the Explorer 1, for 1500 USD. I hope noone actually bought it.

Where's the mods?

[Frogman4me]

Great thread Daniel! I got your email this morning thanks again, see you at the GTG! Cheers

[dnagwhogas]

Holy crap! I knew it! I emailed watchcollectorca and asked about the exp1 and I was told that he was in the philippines from the summer. I asked him a lot of questions like shipping procedures, payment options, reference check etc... and didn't hear back. My spidey sense told me that something's up with this posting....and then the link was gone....
Holy crap!

Yeah it would appear that there used to be a hyperlink hidden in there. This is just a reminder to everybody to check the LINK LOCATION from any shady resources before you actually click it.

[drlecter]

And i did click that link, and he stole my credentials.

I think the most important thing that we have to understand here is, DO NOT fall for a cheap watch. This guy posted a Rolex exlorer for sale for $1550 and then i received like 20 emails from people trying to buy it, don't be fooled.

Also, DO NOT ever go for Western Union or anyhing like that.

Best regards and stay aware.

Well for me it started from a watch that I was selling not looking to buy. What we need to remember is to make sure that our computer auto fills our password when on the correct site
