BEWARE!!!!!! Almost Scammed by Matt Thompson AKA [email protected]

I was contacted by Matt Thompson to set up a trade for multiple watches of his for a Hublot of mine, I agreed and asked for pictures of watches before we did a face to face in NY...

After changing the watches he would trade a few times, from a Diver which had papers, then didn't have papers, to a Themes and Subc.... he finally sent pics of a Safari F serial.... At this point I was already somewhat suspicious so I played along to get some more info.....

This is what he sent......






Do people really think we are that stupid????

I have his contact info, phone and email and I have forwarded it to the Long Island State Police.

Please BEWARE!!!

No straight to email. My email is available in all my listings. So easy to contact outside of the forum. I don't really know where or which forum he used to get my email.

Date window is the biggest and easiest tell, it's to far to the right. A clear dead give away on any fake AP.
