Scammer Active

There is a scammer using the name "Noel Bartley" and the email address [email protected]

Says he's from the UK, seems legitimate until he wants the watch shipped to his grandson in Nigeria...haha....hahahahha

Anyway, I'm sure he'll change his name and email address but I thought I'd let the membership know.

Btw, don't ship watches to Nigeria.

Best regards,

Joe

I got the same e-mail from that person, I told him shipping would be $900 and I will over night e-mail express the watch to Nigeria.
Never heard of him since.

Disgusting isn't it?

It would appear at times that the main economic activity of Nigeria is fraud,the country has become synonymous with it.
