WARNING Daniel Conrad in UK SCAMMER ALERT

[theken]

I contacted a TRF moderator and he asked me to post this warning for fellow TRFers of an attempted scam.

I was contacted via email by Daniel Conrad who responded to my WTB post for a white gold Daytona.
Daniel Conrad does not have a TRF user name.
He emailed pictures to me that were posted on TRF by another seller, afc1.
This Daytona was sold by afc1 to another buyer the previous week.
This is the original TRF FS post:

TRF member afc1 verified that his customer has the watch in his possession.

The contact and bank wire details for Daniel Conrad are as follows.
His email address is [email protected]
He provided this address:
27 Widdecombe,Henley Greene close,
CV21AT COVENTRY,UK.

Phone:07549336484

I received the following wire transfer information:
Name:Angelique c Lessing
Bank name: Halifax bank
Account Number: 10799564
Sort Code 110212

Good on you. Keep up the good work.

Fantastic, thank you. I am currently negotiating with him for another watch.

He told me he was from Glendale, Arizona with a friend in Coventry UK.

I just registered here after seeing this."Daniel Conrad" contacted me via email re:my search on a few forums for a vintage Seiko.
His first email asked if I was still interested.
His second email advised that he was away on business-This piece of info did not pertain to the email conversation.
He came back again after rereading my post and seeing that I preferred a US transaction-
Then he came back again stating that he "does not do Paypal"-he forgot to mention that-my post clearly stated that was my preferred method of payment.........run.......run far away.

Could it be that Christopher is aka Danny?
Seems he is doing the rounds on a fair few watch forums.

Too common of a ploy for very experienced buyers/sellers but this is really useful as an example of scammer behavior.

Good for you to expose this guy's most recent alias - soon I think he'll have another persona and try this with different name(s), details and bank info.
