SCAM ALERT!!! someone pretending to be mboverst
Guys,
Someone is using the good name of one of our trusted sellers mboverst or Matt Overstreet. here is the scammers email address [email protected] and the phone number is 386-868-9288 This guy sends me an email selling me a watch. when i asked him to call me, he used a Florida number and said that he is vacationing in Florida. Since I know Matt and I have dealt with him many times, I asked the scammer how many watches Matt bought from me and he said 2... WRONG!!! WATCH OUT fellow TRF.

Thanks for catching this scumbag Alfred!
To all: I only email from [email protected] and call from 800-616-6598. I also only go by mboverst on every forum. I wish I was vacationing in Florida, but I'm stuck in Dallas with no break in sight! Be careful out there! Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2 |

Maybe it's common sense but if the guy is a well-respected seller/buyer, more times than naught you should be contacting them. Not the other way at around.

Haha, so true. In his emails he's pretending to be sellers/dealers and pretty much begging to give away a V serial Daytona for $8,000??? Common sense would dictate a seller/dealer would jump all over that take the $2k in easy profit himself and not be begging to sell it?!?

Be very careful guys... I actually have an idea who he is already judging the Ip address on the emails and the phone numbers.
