Stolen photos

Hello,

One guy from Romania??? I don't know... Contact me in other forum telling me that he will sell his Deep Sea.

Well, here you have the photo he have passed me (I told him to put my name near the watch) as you can see, bad photoshop skills



The original photo is from thesharkfactor

I've contacted Mark, and he told me

Hi there,
Looks like fraud to me.. be careful!

I sold the watch three weeks ago to a Scottish guy.

Don't send him anything..

Cheers

Never contact with a guy with one of this two mails

He sent me this mail.

I will finish my last meeting with my clients around 22:00-22:30 ( local time ) i will go home and send you req pic.
I have only nice and authentic watches as you can see them from my topics.
Selling watches for my is not a job, it's my hobby.
I buy a new watch every 2-3 months, i wear it and then i sell it. I have some models that i listed and belong to my friends and i help them to sell.
I have a great job, a family, a 5 years daughter, i wont ruin my reputation and my life for 5900 euro. 5900 e for me is just a penny value.
So, don't make worries, all my tranzactions worked smooth.
Wait for your reply.

Well done Juan for being diligent, doing your research and mailing me.
Those are indeed my pics he has cut my logos from.

I have mailed him telling him we are onto him. Scum...

Buy yourself a watch from a seller here, you'll be fine.

All my best

Thank you Mark,

Let's see if I can find a Deep Sea soon.

I hate this kind of people, trying to cheat! Trying to take your money for nothing.

Regards

I was cheated by this guy! Read below. Also found out he sent me someone else's photos. Contacted that WUS member who told me that he had sold the watch to someone else -not this guy. PLEASE DO NOT SEND HIM ANY MONEY!!!

WARNING: I recently did a watch deal with a WUS member PremiumCeasuri. Complete Fraud. Messed me about all the way. I paid money to his Paypal per agreement. He wrote back saying how he could not access the money because his account was not upgraded. Asked me to use Western Union. I declined. Said he would refund my money. Then he sent me his friend's Paypal which was apparently an upgraded account. I checked with Paypal for Buyer Protection and they provided an affirmative to go ahead with the transaction as I would be protected with Buyer Protection as long as I went through Paypal. He refunded the money and I paid the money into the new Paypal account provided. Then I wrote to the seller asking for tracking information. After much chasing he writes back saying how shipping costs are too high. So I requested for a refund. No response. After many emails, he writes back that the money will be refunded. So far no refund. After another few emails requesting refund, he says - he has already called his friend twice for the refund. Thankfully Paypal protects against these types of fraudulent sellers!

Please be extremely careful. I have learnt my lesson! Their Paypal addresses are:
[email protected]

Wow!

Thank you for your message

I was checking in google his mail address but didn't find your message.

I've contact the moderator of WUS and let him know, he closed his profile.

No communication or refund still. Waiting for Paypal to resolve it. Be very careful of these types of guys! Buy only from bonafide people with references. Wondering if this guy can be reported to the police somehow.
