Let me know what you guys think about this.....

I recently posted an AD wanting to purchase a Rolex President 118238.
I got an email from a potential seller name Francisco Sanchez. His username is SANFRAN. He joined the forum on April 2012. Anyhow, he said he's got a watch I'm looking. He stated the watch is a V serial, then he sent me someone's else of the watch which is different than what I mentioned. And when he resent the picture of the watch. The warranty card indicate the watch is a D serial!!!!!
Then I told him I decided to pass on this deal because I just don't feel comfortable sending $17k to someone whom I don't think is legit.
I think he's a scam artist if you ask me.
He's now cursing left and right because he said he's legit.

Tell me what your thought are.......

THANKS.

His story stinks and of course he's cursing, he couldn't cheat you out of 17k.

You should post up what he's telling you so maybe the MODS will ban him..

If he was legit he wouldn't be cursing. He would want you to be a satisfied customer, something our best sellers here on TRF strive to do.

Personally I would be looking to deal with someone with a better and longer reputation in the first place. When trusted seller is used, I normally think of people with a longer and more established history of working with buyers.

Buy the Seller.

Attached are the pictures he sent to me. It seems like he does have the watch but I still think it's not legit.
Also, he said the watch is a V serial.......I don't think so.

If you can substantiate this I'd be quite happy to zap his membership.

Send this person $17,000?

Not even $17.

> >Thanks for getting back to me Paul. I am selling a used near-mint V serial Yellow Gold Presidential Day Date with a White Roman dial. This watch is in excellent condition, is 100% authentic, and has 100% original parts. It has never been professionally cleaned or polished and was lightly worn by one owner (me!). I leave it up to the purchaser to polish it if he or she desires, but personally I didn't think it would be worth polishing (see pictures below) because it is in excellent condition and polishing is known to take off small amounts of gold. I'm not a professional watch seller, so I'm not sure how to classify watches beyond what I have stated above.

What a scammer, the third picture has some poor photoshopping with his username supposedly written on a piece of paper...

Paul, excellent Ban!

I told the guy I already sent him the money for the watch.
This is what he wrote back.........

Like i said in my last mail i need you to scan to me the transfer slip for confirmation. Send me the confirmation to my by email. Call me 512 846 2857 or send me your phone so i will call you.


I wait to hear back from you.


Thanks,
Francisco

in the past when I posted a WTB ad for a 14060 I was also contacted by this guy. I told him I didnt want to deal with him after he kept sending me pictures of different watches as well. After I informed him that I didnt feel comfortable doing business with him he began calling me a scammer not exactly sure how that works. Thank god he is banned but i'm guessing someone will probably get another PM from sanchez eventually when he creates a new account

Yes, two of those photo's were stolen from Tony, (aka justrolexes) one of our TRUSTED members. If you look closely at the bottom two photo's, you can see where he photoshopped Tony's name off of the picture. I would LOVE to meet this Francisco Sanchez in PERSON.
