Just about Scammed by [email protected]

I received an offer to purchase a mid size Tudor 75090 which i had a request for in the Wanted to Buy section.

A guy calling himself Gabriel Gman, [email protected] cut and pasted pictures of a persons 75090 that had posted a review of on another forum of a watch his father had gave him and one of the trusted sellers old sold ads for a 75090 together and fires me off an email offering it at a decent price for North America.

I proceed to do some homework put 2 and 2 together find the actual owner profile almost by accident... message the owner of the pictured watch to find out why not returning emails can we meet face to face etc.... He as suprised as i was releaved, he didnt want to sell his watch nor had he contacted me.

Today i get another offer different watch different guy same ad but much more detail.

What a mess!
